today I have three awesome graphic design portfolios for you to take a look
-
at I'm going to explain exactly why they're so awesome
-
so you can apply the same techniques and the tips to your very important area of
-
work so I suggest you take some notes or bookmark today's video if you want to
-
really improve your graphic design portfolio because let's face it it might
-
be the single most important thing to you as a graphic designer and obtaining
-
new clients will say the three design failures are linked down below
-
so the first portfolio today is by design that dot works this is an awesome
-
graph a design portfolio for many different reasons but firstly notice the
-
huge amount of negative space around the main focal points this is the landing
-
page as you can toggle over the next project listed but negative space allows
-
the design content to breathe and it's an easy way to add professionalism to
-
your display of work over crowding your designs and portfolio is going to turn
-
off viewers less is in fact more so taking a deeper look we can see contrast
-
in the typefaces with thick and thin typography which is
-
another way to add sophistication to your designs
-
now totaling two the next section you can see the same layout has been used as
-
the previous one with objects the same size and location as well as typography
-
being the same too and this is seen throughout this entire
-
section of the portfolio I repetition ties everything together neatly you can
-
also see a vague faint design in the negative space too which is a nice and
-
clever touch now let's take a dive into one of the projects on this portfolio
-
now the very top is a brief background of the project and it's displayed
-
cleanly and neatly but I thought it could be a little more thought-out to be
-
honest but moving down this designer has added a process of the design itself
-
which solidifies a designer's skills and talents and it's something I always do
-
on my own portfolio of work you know showing the process of a design as we
-
scroll down some more you can again see a running theme of repetition of design
-
which simply makes the entire page look awesome and professional design
-
principles of layout negative space contrasts etc all apply when designing
-
your portfolio of work now let's check out one last project in
-
this portfolio before heading to the second one so again in this project
-
the color purple has been used on the landing page of the project but also
-
into the actual project itself these small details
-
subconsciously reach viewers and they tell the designers that lists in fact a
-
professional portfolio of work so onto the second graph example of earlier
-
today which is created by Alex covin in his landing page he's made use of a very
-
clever gimmick that sets him apart from the rest
-
he has three main skills in graphic design coding and typography and he's
-
displayed these three skills in a clever way
-
he has three different hats for three different mindsets and heads of design a
-
gimmick like this is something very different and memorable to the viewer
-
moving into the portfolio itself that's again a great use of negative space much
-
like the previous folio and also in the bottom left you'll notice a typography
-
is neatly done and the same style is carried out through an entire page the
-
use of repetition went and correctly is very effective indeed also there aspects
-
of the design of each project which are faint in the background adding a nice
-
and a unique hatch
-
now if we click onto one of these projects
-
we're met with a neat display and a brief description of the project
-
everything is open plan so to speak and it's not crowded it's very clean and
-
very crisp also notice that there are two key typefaces used one for headings
-
and one firming body text which is another key sign of a professional
-
design you know just very uniform and well made so lastly on this portfolio
-
the style and the color is United together with a kind of bold pastels use
-
the routes now for your portfolio of work have a set theme color in mind and
-
also a style that represents your work and then build your portfolio around
-
that style and that theme the third and the final portfolio today is built by
-
Buffalo now right off the bat notice how the toolbar at the top is
-
nicely balanced with three buttons either side of the logo that's a very
-
nice touch indeed now it's again an open-plan style of website which uses
-
negative space if there's one thing that you should take away from today's video
-
it's that less is more and design needs room to breathe the designer has chosen
-
to showcase their projects with knee Texican thumbnails which is quite unique
-
and a nice touch when you roll your cursor over a thumbnail there is a
-
different color and a layer which shares a similar style throughout each one
-
scrolling down is another amazing technique for gaining jobs and
-
instilling confidence in potential clients and that is to have testimonials
-
from previous clients this really helps to solidify yourself as a successful
-
designer and it's something I have used on my portfolio website too
-
now let's head into one of the projects and just a quick note I personally feel
-
it might be too cramped visually but that's just my personal taste and my
-
opinion it stood in awesome portfolio this design has utilized mock-ups and I
-
suggest you do this for yours too because it's a very professional and
-
high-end way to really express your projects and your skills there are so
-
many free and awesome mock-ups for you to use online with just a quick Google
-
search let's take one last quick look at this project and again he's use mock-ups
-
with a new description and layout for the project itself
-
so I hope you took some notes and I hope you had some inspiration today looking
-
