How to make the designer's portfolio? For designers, the most important thing is the portfolio, so you need to build it carefully.

Last time I discussed my portfolio with my classmates,

She said, "Isn't the portfolio a collection of previous works?"

Well ... there seems nothing wrong with this statement, but it's not quite right either. The key depends on what quality portfolio you want to make.

If you simply put together what you have done before, you may make a portfolio that is lower than your real level.

The taboo in the portfolio is-pure listing.

Why do you say that? When we do these things for others, we usually need to change roles to think about problems and show HR resumes.

Then turn yourself into HR, what will you pay attention to, what you want to see and what you don't want to see;

The portfolio is for the design department and the user experience team. What do they want to see? What do they want your portfolio to look like?

Only by fully understanding the tastes of recruiters can we think of something more competitive.

So what's wrong with a simple list? People will skim through your work when they read it, and may not remember anything after reading it. Unless the work itself is wonderful, it may be taken away and moved on to the next one.

After all, there are many people interviewing and many works, and the level of many works is very close. Do you think a trivial thing like you can be appreciated by them as a work of art without explanation?

Therefore, you should add a text description to briefly introduce the highlights, starting points or award-winning works of your work.

If you think something is likely to make the audience appreciate your talent, you can show it, but don't make a long speech.

On the left: ICEH (visual portfolio), and on the right: Damian Calvo (ID portfolio) _ ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ. It is necessary to add some introductions appropriately, but it doesn't mean that every photo should have a text introduction, so stop here.

The second point is to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, reflecting the highlights.

It doesn't mean that all the works you have done are put in, nor does it mean that a work must be fully displayed. Instead, we should choose carefully and bring out the best works (parts) at the tip of the iceberg. It is better to have works that are not satisfied.

Work: ICEH_ I'm sorry about the appearance of the knee joint, so don't add it.

You have to know a truth, extra points will not be added, but the difference will definitely be reduced, cost does not determine value, and doing more does not mean that your work is of high value. So cut off what should be cut off, and don't lower your level with the previous practice draft.

Portfolio packaging should also be simple. Don't be flashy. Give priority to with display, appropriate decoration. Excessive decoration will usurp the role of master. More importantly, you may not be able to decorate it to give readers a good experience, so it is recommended to be simple. Make a collection of works into a work.

Most importantly, works must pursue truth.

Never take other people's works for yourself, because the design circle is very small, it is easy to be found, and it is embarrassing to be found, so you can only giggle in the future. I have often seen this situation recently, and I would like to remind you by the way.

Well, the big problem to pay attention to in the portfolio is almost like this. But some people will say that there are only a few works in my university, and you want me to choose carefully. How to play one or two?

Everyone's problems are similar. If your current good works are really not enough, what should you do in early September?

So let me introduce you to a faster way to create a portfolio.

The first thing to do is not to sort out all your works, but to fully understand what kind of works are the favorite of enterprises, and what are the resumes distributed by ideal companies?

By the time you understand this, you will have succeeded more than half.

For example, if you are an industrial designer, do you know what the industrial design portfolio is like? What parts does a portfolio need to consist of? What is the best combination? What kind of display typesetting will make you more competitive?

Actually, I don't know, but you can find some works of the Great God through brothers and sisters, seniors, Behance, etc. , such as (

), this is not to say that this is the best reference, but I happen to have this example.

You need to find more copies, find their similarities, find their typesetting advantages, and how to handle and package your own works. Only by knowing what a good collection looks like can we make a good or even better collection.

Then suppose you already know what a good portfolio looks like, and it consists of so-and-so parts.

For example, the portfolio of industrial design consists of the cover (portfolio text, etc.). ), personal information page, project page (including hand-drawn, models, renderings, details, etc. ), and finally, other bonus works (should be fine but not too much, such as print brand, video production and so on. )

Next, you can arrange and display your works in the same way (grasp the scale yourself), of course, choose the best typesetting, cut off what you think can't reflect your current level, and then make up what is missing.

For example, for an industrial product that you feel quite satisfied with, you have renderings and detailed drawings. Compared with other people's works, you find that some material drawings, concept drawings, hand-drawn drawings are missing, or hand-drawn drafts are not beautiful enough. Then you should focus on making up a few hand drawings, ps processing and typesetting. They must be beautiful, but they don't need much.

Needless to say, put dozens of hand-drawn pictures of hundreds of pictures you practiced in those years. The human resources department reads a lot of works every day, and they don't want to know about your struggle. What you want to show in your work is the best result.

Other things you want to show can be brought to the interview.

On the left is my 16 hand-painted copy, and on the right is a collection of works from Damian Calvo. You will know what a great god is by comparison. The left side is very student-oriented and the right side is very professional. We should get close to this feeling.

When typesetting, if you are not a professional typesetter, you need to find more typesetting references (such as some simple and modern ppt) and read more works. You can "copy" the part that you think is ok, but you can't copy it. You should grasp the scale yourself.

Ppt typesetting reference, reference picture placement, text size comparison, etc.

The worst and most efficient way is to put what you see in someone else's collection, so it won't be too bad.

For example, it is composed of a main picture, decorated with color block typesetting, and the layout is beautiful. If you really can't do it, just do it. Finally, just adjust the layout and don't copy it too obviously. Think about it more.

This will at least ensure that you don't lack anything and look more professional.

In addition, in the middle of each chapter or project, a large visual transition page is generally needed to add titles.

For example, the following project area is paginated, with the theme of big visual products on the right and obvious text typesetting on the left. This layout is very common and common, but if you don't have a better idea, you can replace the main picture on the right with your own products, put it in this angle, and find another layout on the left to combine. In fact, your portfolio will look good.

This is not plagiarism, but integration. The core thing is your own, so you should also modify it with your own ideas, but you should grasp the scale yourself. Of course, if your layout is hard enough, there are actually many ways to show it.

On the left is ICEH (visual portfolio) and on the right is Damian Calvo (ID portfolio).

When you put existing things into your portfolio, you will generally find that you still lack a lot of things, so you need to make them up next.

Tell me about my own experience of applying for a portfolio as a ui visual designer. When I finished the first edition, I found that although the most important things in the whole portfolio were basically available, icons, interfaces, prototypes, illustrations and bonus items (hand-drawn, layout, logo) still looked quite numerous and full.

But I walked into a misunderstanding. Things are put too evenly and don't reflect the key points. I applied for a position as a visual designer, but my interface and icons are too small. On the contrary, there are too many so-called bonus points in other planes.

Ok, the next step is to delete the flat things and make up the things needed for visual design positions such as interface, icons, interactive effects, activity pages and banner.

So these are all things I want to make up, not pursuing quantity. I know what this collection lacks compared with a good one, and I will try my best to make up for it.

Otherwise, you just want to do a few more works, and when you finally come back to typeset the collection, you will find that some of them are too repetitive, and some of them are still not.

So you should consider what is the best way to combine your investment portfolio.

I know I only need to make the most exquisite things to make it up, and I don't need to make a few windows sockets at all.

I just need to polish a better interface, draw two sets of beautiful icons, make a few smooth and reasonable interactive effects, and make one or two activity promotion pages when I have time. It won't take too long, and my portfolio will be complete and of high quality.

Similarly, no matter what kind of O**K position you are interviewing for, if you need a portfolio, you should follow this idea, with high efficiency and full quality.

At this point, I believe you have understood why the portfolio really doesn't just put everything you have done before. Making a portfolio requires reverse thinking to think and act.

Of course, you are only a freshman now, and you think you have plenty of time. Forget it. Sophomore students will consciously start preparing.

Because a classmate said to me, "If I had known this a year ago, my resume wouldn't feel that there was nothing to fill in."

Yes, don't get ready to play, but learn!

Finally, if you don't know about spring tricks and autumn tricks, you can look at the second tweet today ~

I hope this article is helpful to you, and I also expect you to make a good resume portfolio. Bye bye ~
