I agree with what AD1 is saying, so I won’t harp on things already mentioned.

If you could only take one piece of feedback from me it’s, legibility is king. I would prioritize the copy of your content above any font stylization (size/bolding) and emojis.

Your copy should be short and to the point. No one is expecting you to be a copywriter, so just speak like you normally would. Avoid hollow or flowery buzzwords.

In terms of case studies, I’d personally recommend following a consistent framework across the project examples. I use a Challenge, Approach, Impact for my portfolio, but you could use anything. Sure, the images are important to show you can design, but how do they know your designs/process achieved the brief/results?

Are you looking for honest feedback on your portfolio? If you drop a link in the comments I am sure several people including myself will be happy to review your portfolio and provide feedback to help you out.

Yup! Just did
