Building a strong design portfolio is essential for showcasing your skills.
Here are some platforms to help you get started:
Instagram – A highly visual platform to showcase creative projects and attract an audience.
Twitter (X) – Useful for sharing design insights, engaging with the community, and networking.
WhatsApp Catalog – Ideal for small business owners to display their design services.
Google Drive – A simple way to store and share design files with clients.
Choose the platform that’s easiest for you and ensure your portfolio is well-organized, visually appealing, and easy to navigate.
Improving as a designer requires constructive feedback and continuous learning.
Here’s how to refine your skills:
Seek feedback from diverse sources – Ask clients, peers, and target users for insights.
Document your progress – Track changes and improvements to see your growth over time.
Stay updated – Follow design trends, take online courses, and read books by experts.
Develop a critical eye – Analyze successful designs to understand what makes them work.
Embrace feedback as a tool for growth – Don’t take criticism personally; use it to improve your design.
Be specific with your questions – Instead of "What do you think?", ask.
Is the design clear and balanced
Does it evoke the intended emotion?
Are the colors and typography effective?
