What to Include in a Graphic Design Portfolio

Include a diverse selection of your best and most impactful work, showcasing a range of skills and styles. Begin your graphic design portfolio with a brief introduction that highlights your passion for design and your artistic philosophy.

Organize your projects with concise descriptions, presenting a mix of branding, web design, print materials, and other relevant pieces. Provide context for each project, outlining the problem or goal, your creative process, and the final solution. Include high-quality visuals, demonstrating attention to detail and a keen eye for aesthetics. Incorporate any testimonials or quotes from clients or collaborators to add credibility. Clearly list your technical skills and software proficiency. Conclude with contact information and links to your professional social media profiles. Regularly update and curate your portfolio to ensure it reflects your current abilities and style.
