As a creator who has to prove their capability through evidence, a business card or sales pitch won't cut it. You've got to show who you are and what you can do.

The portfolio can totally be a source of anxiety at times, especially when you're starting out, but there's really no need for that!

Your graphic designer portfolio should be something that drives you to improve your work and get creative. It should get you excited about the jobs it's going to bring you, and the opportunity it presents to really define and sell yourself as an artist.

We can look to fellow designers' portfolios to get inspired by fresh ideas and what's possible for our own careers.

Have you ever spent time browsing famous designers' portfolios? You might have done so while studying graphic design, or maybe you browse now and then when you need a little inspiration.

There are worlds upon worlds of projects, styles, layouts, and niches to explore on the internet. We've listed a few of our favorites below, plus some tips on how to create your portfolio that will really help if you're just starting out, and even if you're a veteran who might just need a breath of fresh 'folio.

Why graphic designers need portfolio websites

Graphic designers need a portfolio to showcase their work in order to gain potential clients or jobs. Your portfolio is an opportunity to share your design experience and give potential leads an idea of what your design style is like.

Designers are highly in demand, and the industry is super competitive, so your online portfolio is a great opportunity to differentiate yourself and show potential clients why they should pick you.

Whether you're a professional or simply a digital artist keen to share your work, an online design portfolio gives you the motivation to express who you are and inspire others.

How to create a graphic design portfolio

With the help of website building software or professional web development, you can create something unique out of your online design portfolio. It's another opportunity to showcase your skills as a creative.

While there's a lot of freedom in what you can do, it's good to follow some best practices for creating a design portfolio. Check out the insights and tips below.

Personal website vs a hosting platform

There are a few options when it comes to building your online portfolio. The most professional way to go is to get a custom domain and host your personal website on a hosting platform. The best hosting platforms for a personal design website are:

Building your own site gives you a lot of freedom in how you present yourself. Many designers will have the skills to build and customize a website, but if that's not your thing you also have the option to host your portfolio on one, or a few, of the many creative hubs for designers.

There are some great websites dedicated to supporting artists and designers in getting their work out there, connecting with clients, and building community.

While the platforms listed below are pretty customizable, this route is more limiting than building your own website.

Targeted platforms for hosting your design portfolio:

A personal website can really aid your business strategy. It provides the opportunity to broaden into teaching elements like online courses, and marketing elements like a newsletter. You can include personal content creation in the form of a blog on your personal website as well. Your website essentially becomes an online studio representing your business.

The ideal approach is to showcase your work on one or a few of the online creative communities listed above in combination with your own website to reach as many potential clients as possible.

Filling up your portfolio

Designers who are just starting out know how difficult it is to get the ball rolling with portfolio designs. It's the chicken before the egg situation: you need a portfolio to get work, but to build a portfolio you need work.

This is the time when you need to take initiative- reach out to small businesses, friends, and family members and see if you can do some work for free or create your own stuff just to share your skills.

You could create an entirely imaginary brand just to use as an example. In fact, this is fantastic practice for improving your craft and experimenting. Having the space to experiment will prepare you to deliver your best work when you are hired. You could even rebrand or create a mock project for a brand that already exists.

If you don't feel like coming up with ideas yourself, there are plenty of design challenges you can find online to get the juices flowing.

Types of graphic design portfolios

The umbrella of graphic design includes many types of design. Some designers choose to focus on one niche, while others work on a variety.

This is really up to you as a designer, where your career takes you, and where you decide to direct it.

Types of graphic design portfolios include:

  • Logo design
  • Typography/ Lettering
  • Illustration
  • Editorial Design
  • User Experience
  • Interface Design
  • Packaging Design
  • Environmental Design
  • Branding and Visual Identity
  • Product design

Some designers even opt to have two websites: one for their personal art and one for their professional work.

Tip: You should still keep your portfolio up-to-date even if you have a full-time gig and aren't necessarily looking for work. Sharing your work online will always push you to create your best, and work on some side hustle stuff too.

Practical tips for your online portfolio

For a really stellar, effective design portfolio website, there are a few fundamentals you should include and basic guidelines you can follow to make sure it stands out and communicates everything necessary to keep the gigs rolling in.

We've listed some design portfolio tips below for you.

Make it user-friendly

Let's start with the basics here. You don't want your portfolio to be some kind of Avante Garde labyrinth of obscure artwork. You can create a separate site for that.

Choose a layout that showcases your work with ease and simplicity. When putting it together, you can employ basic UX best practices and put yourself in the perspective of the potential client visiting your profile.

Express your identity

This is an opportunity to express your originality as a designer. Clients are always looking for something unique to bring to their brand or project in this competitive space, so it will serve in your favor if you can show that you have something truly authentic or a signature style to contribute.

Easily accessible contact and social details

Another back to basics tip here, that might seem obvious- but make sure your contact details are easy to find and that you include links to your relevant social media platforms. Linked in, Instagram, and any other places you might share your work will be a good idea. Make sure that the links work, and that you show your social spaces love by keeping them up to date.

Include a bio

Your bio is a good place to share a bit more about what you do and who you are. Potential clients or employers will be more drawn to you in they can feel a connection with who you are. Your bio or about page should include:

  • A bit about your work and what motivates you
  • A bit about who you are personally and what inspires you
  • Why you are unique
  • A profile picture

Keep it short and impactful!

Put some love into the wording

While a graphic design portfolio is visually driven, some clever copy here and there will guide the experience of your portfolio website and help bring the visuals to life.

Create case studies

Including case studies that explain your work are an important part of the graphic designer portfolio.

A case study needs to:

  • Showcase a project you've completed in full
  • Define the "problem" of the brief
  • Share the thinking behind your solution
  • Describe the design process that led to the end result

Consider your ideal client or job

It will be hugely beneficial to the trajectory of your career to get clear with yourself on the kind of work you'd love to create, the types of people and companies you'd like to work with and the range of clients you'd like to have.

Having a bit of clarity around these desires when you create your portfolio will help you decide what you'd like to showcase, so you can get more of what you ideally want.

Share your side hustle

Your portfolio is a place for your artistic expression. Yes, it's about getting work and being professional, but most creatives like to create their own personal projects as well. Showcasing your personal art projects will only give anyone who's viewing your portfolio deeper insight into who you are - and hey, you might end up getting more work based on this!

Show variety

It's a good idea to show some variety in your projects and skills. Choose the best from as diverse a range of projects if you can.

Show your best work

While you want to showcase a variety of work, don't put projects you're not proud of up simply for the sake of variety. Of course, you're not going to feel like every project is perfect and you'll have to have some lesser favorites up in the beginning but be sure to keep updating your site to make sure it's full of only your best work.

Be confident

The point of your portfolio is to show that you can deliver on a job. Show that you trust yourself through the wording you choose and be confident in the pieces you choose to show.

Take the layout seriously

The layout is pretty much everything. If you have the skills, you can get creative with it, but you want to do your work justice by having it presented simply and cohesively. A layout with a white background or muted colors works best. You can browse lots of layout options in the examples we provide below.

Don't forget the favicon

In case you don't know, the favicon is the little icon on the left-hand side of a browser tab. It's usually represented by the logo of the website. When you don't customize this, it will show up as a placeholder of whatever web builder you're using like WordPress and looks unprofessional.

The favicon is another opportunity to get creative and showcase your skills as a designer with something that represents you. Remember to keep it simple.

Include your awards

If you're an award-winning graphic designer, shout about it (with humility). List the awards you've won on your site and provide details about the projects.

Include your resume

This isn't absolutely necessary, it's really up to you but it's an idea. You might want to provide the option to download a PDF version of your resume. You could include it as a page on the website, too. You'll see some examples below.

Include a call to action

Make sure you're opening up a conversation with any potential or fans clients browsing your site and provide a call to action such as to get in touch with you or sign up to your mailing list.

Consider mobile viewing

When designing your online portfolio, take into consideration that people might be browsing on a mobile device, and that the user flow of your site works for mobile.

Consider a blog

Including your own blog in your portfolio is an opportunity to share your thoughts, expertise and personality. You can position yourself as a thought leader in your field through blog content, improve your discoverability online and give others the chance to feel personally connected with you.

Share testimonials

Client testimonials are a very effective way to share your credibility and build trust. It's definitely a good idea to ask clients if they wouldn't mind writing a short testimonial and sharing it on your portfolio website.

Once you start putting it together, you might need some extra assets to make it stand out as well. We've listed a few of our favorite websites for design inspiration below.
