Portfolios: The Do's and Maybe Not's

This one is a long one, but I wanted to try it since there's so much to talk about with portfolios and it's a fun discussion. Hope you enjoy! Here's what's discussed in order: Do: Show off your personality. Show off your strengths. Be “unique!” Hurry, show your work! Simple is okay! Use Dribbble, Behance, Semplice… Pick a focus, or 2, but not 10. Correctly order your case studies. Maybe not: Don’t hide behind text. Slow me down w/ a contact form. Don’t show skill splits. Questions: What if I don’t have any work to share? What if your work is under NDA? Big or small case studies. (Everest) Profile picture helpful? What if I don’t know code?
