5 Tips for Building an Impactful Portfolio to Showcase Your Skills

Portfolios allow you to visually showcase your skills and interests for specific roles through original work and projects. Structure your portfolio to highlight your best, most relevant work.

For art and design roles, focus on tailoring your portfolio to the discipline you are applying for. Showcase your creative process from concept to final product when possible.

Host your portfolio somewhere easily accessible like Artstation, personal websites, or social media. PDFs work for non-motion roles.

Quality over quantity - curate your best 1 minute reel over showing all projects. Put your strongest work up front.

Supplement your portfolio with explanations of your artistic influences, interests, goals, and room for growth. Show your unique perspective.
