So in this video, I am going to be walking you through some of my design projects, the thinking that went into them, and how they are presented on my site, as well as update some new projects and give you all some overall tips on setting up your portfolios the best way possible.

    Portfolios are a great way to showcase your skills, achievements, and projects, making it easier for others to understand your abilities and accomplishments. Thank you 🙏

    I'm trying to build a portfolio and I'm clueless. It seems like an impossible task with no work experience and no money for a fancy website.

      What do you mean no work experience? You don't need a job to start practicing graphic design and start doing projects on your own. You also don't need to spend a bunch of money on a website. There are literally free websites. That kind of mindset is what's holding you back, not money or lack of experience

      It’s just as hard with a dope portfolio 😂😂 I have a problem doing stuff for myself. I always push it off to do stuff for others cause it pays more than chasing dreams 😅
      To me Editing for a living was the dream, and I do that but can’t lie and say I wish I did more of my own ideas.

      @@justadrumfor someone who is struggling the same, i approve. I’ve always tried practicing doing a reasonless logo or poster. But i cant, it needs to have a purpose for creating one. Making it for a portfolio is not a good enough reason for my brain to accept it seems 😂

    If so, I specifically remember & DREADED doing those projects in college😅
