I decided to test a few methods for displaying design projects online. The first platform I tried had a clunky interface that slowed everything down. The outcome was a bunch of empty views and no useful feedback. What became clear is that random collections don't impress experienced viewers.
The resource I keep returning to for reference is https://dribbble.com/.
Once I started selecting my best pieces the quality of feedback jumped noticeably. Adding context about client goals helped visitors understand the choices I made. What did not work was trying to include everything I had ever made. I hesitated before cutting ten projects, yet the feedback turned positive fast.
Three friends in the field gave me honest opinions on which pieces held up. What they emphasized was the need for storytelling around each piece. That feedback turned my portfolio from a gallery into a narrative.
Reducing my featured work to five core items boosted the response rate enormously. Giving up decorative frills let the actual designs speak for themselves. My recommendation to anyone starting out is begin with a brutal edit.
