I would buy your own domain and not host through Canva. Go for something short, memorable, and catchy since you’re a writer.

As someone else stated it’s hard to tell at first glance if you’re a CW or AD. Overall I think the design is nice but there’s so much content crammed in here that at first glance I don’t know where to begin. I’d shorten and simplify and really pair down your book. Most people have short attention spans and won’t read all of your copy.

Much appreciated and noted, Thanks

As-salamu alaykum brother. First of all very brave of you to make a post like this asking for feedback. Not many people would dare to post with their name.

Coming to your portfolio - I think it’s important with all the local work you have to provide good translations. I’m not an Arabic speaker myself so struggled to understand what some things were.

Besides that… I know it’s tempting to put work made in the real world in your portfolio. But maybe it’s good to shift your thinking a little. Your portfolio doesn’t need to be a summary of things you’ve made before. It can be a glimpse into the kind of work you want to be making instead.

Very often the day to day work or the opportunities we get can fail to show our real potential and real taste.

If I were you I would look to add a couple killer ideas in there. Some spec work. Maybe do some D&AD New Blood briefs. Maybe do some Young Ones briefs. They always put out nice stuff to get the juices flowing. And it’s a nice shot to win some awards as well to promote yourself.

If you’re going to do that and want to review some ideas at some point, feel free to dm me.

✌️

Alaykom As-salam brother, thanks for your time and your honest words… I know that I miss so much that’s why I’m asking, I’m here to learn and explore…

Your feedback is very appreciated and helpful to me and for sure I will do what you said.

Thanks again

It’s unclear what role you are pursuing with this portfolio. Are you a copywriter or designer?
