💀🧠 Looking for inspiration for new ways to present my (mostly) design work
The goal is to showcase the key attributes of my work on the project, which is usually not just design, but might include also naming, copywriting, campaign strategy, etc.
What options for a portfolio are there:
1️⃣ Solo website
A personal website that includes a portfolio, usually in the form of case studies, is a classic.
For me, the downside is the need to set up each new project’s landing page, since I like to present each project in a different way to match the mood and support the storytelling.
2️⃣ Dribbble/Behance
Platforms for designers to showcase their work. Easy to use. Suitable for those who don’t want or need to run a standalone website.
Despite Dribbble being the standard, using it as the main showcase solution kind of positions you right there - in the standard zone.
3️⃣ Printed presentation
Impressive, if crafted with care. Also the physical medium feels more serious - the effect of proof of work.
But comes with issues, distribution being the biggest, if you need to deliver portfolio on demand worldwide.
4️⃣ Video reviews
A video documentary about work on a specific project - including the designer’s commentary, thoughts, and insights - seems like a pretty effective and valuable way to showcase the full scale of contribution.
I haven’t actually seen this portfolio format yet. It would be quite difficult to produce, though.
So far, I’m using a combination of a simple website and a Dribbble portfolio, which works just fine. But I’d like to explore more options.
So, what else is out there? Have you experimented with any other solutions.. ?
Your insights will be appreciated:
