The portfolio should contain only those designs that are your original work and have no issues with copyrights or third party rights.
Your graphic design portfolio is also an opportunity to impress the clients from across the world. The portfolio will help you in winning more projects as you showcase your talent, expertise and wide-ranging technical capabilities.
Now, Here Are Some Of The Characteristics Of An Effective Graphic Design Portfolio For Your Consideration.
01. Impressive Visual Design
To win the contest, it is advisable to include only excellent visual designs in your portfolio. Graphic designs such as logos, brochures, business card talk to the targeted audience in a visual language for conveying a business message to the client.
02. Be Creative
Your portfolio should showcase your creativity and you must include those works that stand out because of your unique concepts and designing techniques.
03. Use Of Relevant Elements
A good design incorporates the colors, fonts etc that relate to the industry of the client. So, for example, if the design is for a social networking site, blue is usually the color and if the client runs a women’s clothing store, the color for its logo is most probably be pink, though it is not a binding on any creative designer. But the use of the elements must make a sense.
