Going Further

Market Your Portfolio. Promote your creations.

Invite Your Friends

What is the point of creating your amazing new portfolio if you do not show anyone?

Now that you have an easily accessible showcase demonstrating your talents and skills, share it any way you know how. Social media is thoroughly integrated in today’s society; share the link in any and every account you desire. Put it in your Twitter “Bio,” your “About Me” section on Facebook, post it on Pinterest or Tumblr, and even LinkedIn has a designated spot for you to put personal websites.

Reminder

This is a fun way to display your creativity, but it is also clean and professional. Put a link in résumés and potential employers can see what you specialize in while being impressed that you were able to create your own website. It displays that you are a multifaceted artist who is not afraid to go outside of your comfort zone and dabble in other forms of design and expression.
