What we learned from these graphic designer portfolio examples
After looking at all these beautiful graphic designer portfolio websites, we quickly spotted some similarities that most of these portfolio examples have.
Great graphic design portfolio websites have:
- their best work front and center
- clean and simple design with focus on portfolio work
- a clear introduction telling the visitors who the owner is and what he/she does
- an
esily reachable contactpage links to other social media (Instagram, Dribbble, Facebook)
We also noticed that the more successful the designer, the cleaner and simpler their portfolio website looks.
This can be a hard pill to swallow for most beginner graphic designers since they tend to try and make their website look “personal” and “purple because that’s my favorite color”. But the goal of a good portfolio website is to make it look professional and easy to use for your potential clients without distracting them from the most important part – your work and contact info.
We hope that these examples gave you some great ideas for your own graphic design portfolio.
