Nowadays the artists or any other creative entrepreneur are struggling to show their work to others at one specific place. Most of the people are confused about their work and end up including everything in their portfolio randomly.

To avoid that, one such technique to show your compiled work is to have your own portfolio.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN THE PORTFOLIO?

Include the best work: The most common mistakes that people do are that they put all their work in the portfolio.

Tip: Include only the best and updated work of yours. The portfolios should be lean, focused and should represent your speciality.

Start uploading stuff online: The best way to save money and paper is to have an online portfolio. It could be on Behance, Instagram, facebook pages, WordPress, blogs, etc.

Tip: Use the best images for attracting the audience to your page. Use eye catchy themes for your websites or blogs.

Curate the content: The portfolio that you create, be it online or offline it’s very important to have sections or categories according to the themes, topics, related areas, etc. The content should be well curated, in a meaningful and organized way.

Tip: For eg. Photographers can categorize their portfolio on the basis of genres (fashion, street, weddings, products, etc.)

Go for quality not quantity: Decide on how many pieces you want to include. You may not want to divert the attention of the viewer

Tip: The minimum number of stuff you can put is 10 and the maximum number is 20.

Include your personal projects: If you don’t have any projects based on clients, you can always go for your personal projects and include them in the portfolio. Personal projects give space for your creativity and it is the best way to show your creative skills to others.

Tip: It doesn’t have to be recent always. Experiment and work on something creative.
