Top 1 in Top 6 Portfolio Design Trends.
It is crucial that I overstate the importance of your work samples. Make sure you have some good samples and you better make sure they’re easy to browse. If not then the UX monster will come and eat you… or worse, clients will just leave your site without a second thought. Presentation can be just as important as the work itself. When in doubt, simplify.
A great example of simplicity can be found in the portfolio of Jake Parker. His portfolio includes a wide variety of content like book covers, graphic novels, and visual development artwork. The homepage doesn’t include much content and the only 3 links available make navigation pretty simple. Clicking through his work leads to single-page items along with multi-paged content rotators.
How you choose to display content depends on how much work you’ve created so far. Every designer will display their work differently but visitors only want one unified experience – to see what you can do in the most efficient manner possible.
