A designer and illustrators need to include about 10 to 15 of their best work. To narrow down one’s options, designers must look through their portfolio to find the works that show off their talents, versatility, and artistic voice. A portfolio could also contain an artist’s background information, contact details, and photos—so that visitors can put a face to the name and know what the creators look like.

A solid portfolio also includes well-written artist statements for each work, as well as a profile detailing your background and vision as an artist. You could also include a list of awards, accolades, and residences.

Why is online portfolio important to a dGraphic designers, illustrators, interior designers, web designers, and UX/UI designers can all benefit from online portfolio websites in the same way—by putting your designs on a digital platform, you expand your reach to a global audience. Designing an online portfolio website can get you clients from all over the world, even without having to put in the effort of reaching out and emailing your design work. That’s the importance of an online folio.esigner/illustrator?

Creating digital portfolios is pretty much the same as building a physical one—you need to build a list of your past works, then narrow down your options to a handful. Add your background information, mediums you specialize in (i.e. traditional painting, digital arts, etc.) then your contact information.

Consider using a website builder like Format, which can make it easier to design, personalize, and share a portfolio website. You can choose from a variety of free themes and design and customize it to your liking. A website created with Format is customizable and easy to edit on the go, unlike self-hosted portfolio websites.
