Seriously? I think I'll let that slide. In fact, I didn't even notice until I read this comment. You're good & a blessing to your audience. The info is what's important. 😉
Thank you, thank you, thank you! As someone who did a masters in design at a great school, I was never taught how to actually promote myself after uni. It's one thing to be a sick designer, but its a whole other to have others believe it. Keep these videos coming!
I'm literally graduating with my bachelors in graphic design tomorrow! You are so right though! I'm a beast at Illustrator, and I can give you a good run for your money at photoshop. I'm *ok* at indesign ;) but I don't really know what makes an effective portfolio. I don't really know how to promote myself in a meaningful way. RUclips University here I come!
My main problem with most of my project-based clients are "utilizing the spaces" or "don't leave blank spaces" kind of mindset. No matter how I explain to them that "less is more", they just want their design to be crowded which is something I don't like. So I am forced to design something that is not really good BUT, unimaginably, great for their eyes. LOL.. I don't share them in my portfolio though.. My style for crowded design is to choose colors that has great contrast between the subject and the background or graphics that are less important.
Yeah, in the end we just accept the fact that the client is paying our bills either we like what was designed or not. Those kind of "messy" designs don't deserve a place on anyone portfolio.
Hi Satori! Can you make a video about what students (like high schoolers/undergraduates) can do if they wish to get into graphic design? I really like your videos and I believe they might have reached more younger people than you expected!
My first tips I encourage my students to do: - Find designs you like, save them, and try to copy them from start to finish as close as possible to the finished product. This will both test and improve your skills in your software of choice! - Learn Gestalt theory and find examples of it in the real world/web - Full up your workspace until there’s nothing left! (Negative space can come next after you understand back the dories/principles of design -Study the top designers based on your taste
Thank you! I was in an existencial dilemma as a graphic designer. I don't know how could i forget i am a problem solver... i was totally burnt out that i ignored the main reason i do this. I feel happy helping people with this little things i can do. Thank you again.
Hey Satori, I'm a brazilian man that have learned so much about graphics design these last months and I'm also would like to say thanks for your tips, its have been helped a lot in the creative process and how to get the main subjects when I'm building a brand.
Great tips as always. At the 5:38 point in the video OPININION should be opinion. Just thought you’d want to know because I would if it were my work :-)
I found your channel today. And I'm so glad that I did. I needed to better understand what goes into a comms portfolio. Though your video speaks to graphic designing, your core principles and advice helped me shift my thinking. I now get that it's not about showing off. It's about speaking to the problems I'm solving. That makes it so much easier as I live to solve problems. Now I know how to present my ideas. Thank you, sir!
I’m a college student. I am about half way done with all my courses. It’s crazy to me all you learn is not really helping you build a portfolio I have maybe a couple assignments that were portfolio worthy. This summer I plan on working to build my portfolio maybe I can get good enough to freelance while I’m building up a portfolio that’s my goal. This video was helpful I’m going to spend each week during the summer doing my own stuff to build it up. I’ll say it again. I learn more from RUclips than college. Thanks for this awesome video.
Thanks for the helpful tips on the importance of showing your best work but also your process and how you can solve problems. Can you please create videos on your process currently ?
ive found that its easier to keep a few portfolios going - one where you can deep dive into a problem, one for a playground, and one for general corporate-projects - I have so much work but its variable on what you want your users to focus on
I think that the "about page" should include things like interests and hobbies. But make it very brief. It lets customers/ companies get a sense of your personality.
1. How you can add value to a potential client and how can you solve their problems 2. What are some of the things we can do to sho wor demonstrate we can solve problems to potential clients - In each project you should outline the problems that the client had so that might be the brands logo - Like how you solved those problems how you used your skills and your experience to overcome those hurdles 3. Hook the attention of the audience or the viewer then deliver the message once you've got their attention the graphic design portfolio is then sell your skills services and any other design project -ask yourself what kind of clients are you looking for? - What kind of people are you looking to attract - non graphics design then go to people whos knows nothing then get reviewed 4. Small amount of work without introducing too many project do use mockups to design your portfolio
I watched some videos on graphic design portfolio, but yours gave me the clarity I really needed. Very clear and concise video. Love it. Thank you so much 🌼
Hi! I'm Rilwan. I can't begin to express how much your videos have greatly helped me understand the world of graphic designs.....can wait to be someday dishing out helpful tips like you for free too. Thanks a billion man!
Than you for the great info as always. I would like to see more examples of what makes a good vs bad portfolio. Maybe you could breakdown some real world portfolios in a future video. Your channel has been invaluable to my growth. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your invaluable advice and guidance. I always look forward to your tutorials. Is it possible for you to create a mock client briefs for us to undertake, to sharpen our design skills? Pax to you Satori!
"Less is more" is the most important advice when speaking with a Designer (imo). Of course, very important who your audience are. Personally, too often I see designers showing their skills with animations (a lot of animations) and it only manages to confuse our eyes. "Where do I go from here?". I remember back when Flash was introduced. It was a big leap and people went completely overboard. Don't get me wrong, they made some amazing stuff but confused people when it came to navigation. Prioritise Navigation! Make it look good without overdoing it.
I'm subscribed for a reason - great videos! 👍 Now that AI can be our 'partner' if chosen, creating a portfolio has become testing. The main reason is that AI-generated art, or _work_ , can now be more diverse than ever. The answer to the following might be an obvious 'pick your niche'. Double-edged sword to now direct a team as opposed to having hands-on experience. I haven't had my hands on the actual software eg. Illustrator, PS, After Effects, Audition, etc. for a while. I'm finding myself creating with the help of AI and discovering other things I can create, almost better than the ones I used to manage with the team. I was just directing it before. As AI is allowing us to diversify further, the target audience covers a _lot_ of demographics. So I'm branching out on my own, and looking at my work is like owning albums by Nine Inch Nails, Britney Spears, Avicii, Tupac and Updog, all at the same time! How would you showcase a portfolio with a wide variety of work? This is the gist. It's been a year since you posted this, and I think your opinion about how to create a portfolio _now_ with the advent of AI versus a year ago would be interesting, insightful and very helpful. 👍 This comment was not created by ChatGPT.
Hi Satori! May I ask if the designer have the rights to use their clients' paid designs for their portfolio? or they do need to have a proper agreement before using designs to their portfolio? Thanks for your videos!
Hey Satori, thank you for your fantastic videos! I have some questions. What do designers buy from freelancers or similar services? What is needed a lot (several things are possible, not only one) by designers and it is not fully available now? Could you make a video about these two questions?
There is no such thing as a top 5% portfolio. The industry is too divided and too complex. A portfolio that works for one company isn't going to work for another company. A trendy, cool portfolio isn't going to work for a boring, old school agency. A European portfolio isn't going to work for an agency in nowheresville, Iowa. An In-house portfolio doesn't work for agencies. A fashion portfolio doesn't work for tech companies. On and on and on. Yes there will be some crossover but you can't please everyone, that is the fundamental challenge of creating a portfolio. You have to accept your specific portfolio will only apply to 20% of possible business out there.
Very helpful video, any tips on how to avoid those long scrolling pages? Say for instances if you created many assets for one project and would like to give them space on your portfolio
Satori, thank you so much for this video, I’m definitely gonna be reverting back to it as I start to build my first graphic design portfolio. Would you make a video on Tips of what to do when you don’t feel inspired, or creative. And what do you do when your downtime to pull that creativity out of you?
"Sell me this pen" the portfolio is there to connect you to the client that WANTS you not to persuade people who need something else that you're the solution.
I know this is going to sound dumb but could I add a merch shop with my portfolio website? For context I'm thinking of doing some light freelancing but I also am thinking of making a T-shirt shop. Should I make them two separate sites or one?
Hi! Quick question, is it necessary to place a photo of yourself in your own portfolio? I'm not very fond of doing that and wanted to know if I don't have to 😅
I would say: Yes, it‘s necessary. It builds trust because potential clients get to see a real face behind your brand for example. Maybe a short video introducing yourself and your work would gain people‘s trust even more. I mean, how do you feel visiting a website with and without a portrait of the business owner? Or how you feel watching a video of the person? On the other side, who are the people that would never reveal their real face? That are scammers for example. And if you show who you are, people tend to trust you more. That‘s how I see it.
Are there portfolio templates for graphic design? I don’t know how to design mine, I won’t design it yet, but I am new to graphic design currently I am an artist that paints and draws. And I felt drawn to graphic design because of designs and logos that every company or brand has. For example, Nike has logo for their sneakers, the Apple logo for the Apple products, and Microsoft logo for their products and applications everyone uses. I am still new to graphic design and I’m hoping to learn more.
Hey Satori, quick question: What's the value of having a website portfolio in comparison to having Behance with awards/features, or an Instagram account with lots of engagement?
@@manassetotype7098 Exactly. Especially when someone finds your sm account and can easily see if you are the right person or not. Social proof? People are engaging with you in comments/likes/following. Credibility? You have awards/features on Behance. More views, more comments, more followers.
No it does not. It's often wise to use the brand identity colour scheme, but it isn't always the correct decision. It depends on the brief, the target audience, and a lot of other things
Great video. Gotta be honest though.... I considered clicking away within the first 5 seconds because your camera quality is below average. Not making fun here, just being objective... it's a credibility issue.
No it's a fair point. The camera quality pre editing is actually good. However, the quality worsens post shooting for some reason. It's really annoying.
Satori I know this question may sound silly but is their a difference between a graphic designer portfolio besides someone who does only illustration. Please answer
digital illustration is graphic design, just it isn't that 'corporate'. However for the portfolio, the same rules apply. You want to show value to your potential clients. That means showing projects you worked on, your skills and how you added value to past clients
SATORI !!! I am trying to optimize my fb and linkedin account by creating a eye catching banner for my clients. Can you suggest me what to include in the banner, I meant from design to information about my services.

"Sell me this pen" the portfolio is there to connect you to the client that WANTS you not to persuade people who need something else that you're the solution.

Separate. Put the shop on your main site as a proof of work or example of work, and add your main site to the shop somewhere in the footer.

indesign if you want pdf version you should know that by know if you had any graphic design work done
You are the big deal master chief!
cheers buddy. have a great day
Satori I know this question may sound silly but is their a difference between a graphic designer portfolio besides someone who does only illustration. Please answer
digital illustration is graphic design, just it isn't that 'corporate'. However for the portfolio, the same rules apply. You want to show value to your potential clients. That means showing projects you worked on, your skills and how you added value to past clients
@@SatoriGraphics satori one more question. I Know illustrations are not that corporate but does that mean that a person has to settle with less pay 😂
@@itsdipganguly you are the one selling yourself
I think most portfolio choices are based on Opininion.
SATORI !!! I am trying to optimize my fb and linkedin account by creating a eye catching banner for my clients. Can you suggest me what to include in the banner, I meant from design to information about my services.
