The portfolio is not the online website of our work or samples, but it has become an asset in modern times to enter into the professional world. Earlier times, creative people had to collate all the physical copies, printouts or prototypes with them to present it in front of jurors or company leaders to impress and get a place in the desired office. Nowadays, everyone has access to the internet, so viewing the work and profile has become just a click away. So an essential task for designers to create a portfolio for them is not to collate all the work but also to stand out from the crowd and follow correct rules and guidelines for designing their portfolio. In the end, presentation matters and the message well conveyed is a message well received.

Essential Tips for your portfolio:

● The high impact introduction
