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.
