## Introduction

Hey everyone! I’m excited to share another design portfolio review with you today. In this video, I dive deep into the review of a talented individual’s portfolio website, which showcases a diverse background in studio video production, photographer, 3D, and VFX. From the onset, I was impressed with the quality of the work presented. However, as I examined the design portfolio, I realized that while the initial draft had its strengths, there is significant room for improvement in terms of layout and cohesion. It’s essential for a portfolio website to not just display beautiful work but to do so in a way that's simple and easy to navigate for viewers. One crucial takeaway from this review is the importance of clarity in design. A well-structured portfolio allows potential clients and collaborators to quickly grasp what you can offer, saving them time and effort. I share actionable tips on how to simplify design choices to make your work stand out even more. As someone who is committed to supporting fellow designers, I host free portfolio reviews every month.

## Key Points

• How to build a concise and minimal portfolio website homepage • How to incorporate video elements on your portfolio website • How to incorporate research and sketches into your portfolio website

## To Think On

• How can you effectively showcase your top three or four projects on my homepage? • In what ways can you better communicate your creative process in my portfolio? • Are there elements of your work that could be visually represented in the footer to add more depth?

## Actionable

• Enable video autoplay on the homepage and change to a full bleed layout to enhance visual engagement. • Structure the homepage with clear sections as outlined for better navigation. • Incorporate R&D insights to convey the thought process behind the projects. • Consider merging photo content into the footer rather than having a dedicated page.
