How to build your portfolio.

Organize your samples.

Take some time to organize your work before uploading it to Adobe Spark. It could help pick some of your best and brightest examples and include any necessary links, context, or citations. If you’d like to include a brief bio on your portfolio, write a draft, then proofread it to make sure it reads well.

Create an impressive layout.

Adobe Spark features multiple layout options and customization tools so you can create a portfolio that resonates with your personality. There are several options for photo layouts, including grids, glide shows, and split layouts, so explore these possibilities to see how they interact with your work, as well as with each other as a whole as you scroll through your page.

Choose a theme.

Adobe Spark offers themes that change the header and text options of your page. You can click “Themes” to find these preset selections. When including text, highlight your content and choose “H1” or “H2” to test out header options that vary with each theme.

Save and share your portfolio.

Take your time to build out your portfolio. You can preview it at any time. Choose “Present” to view it as a slideshow. When you’re ready to share your portfolio, click “Share” to publish your portfolio and send it to others.

How to structure your online portfolio.

Before getting started, take some time to think about the story your portfolio will tell. Draft a paragraph or two that provides insight into you as a person and your career goals or ambitions. Then compile your best photos, videos, graphics, and links to include on your site to give your audience a full understanding of your accomplishments and capabilities. Don’t forget to include contact info in easy-to-find places so that your readers know how to reach you once they get inspired by your work.

Different types of online portfolios.

Online portfolios are a necessity for careers such as photographers, visual artists, architects, or designers. With Adobe Spark Post, you can also include videos. For writers, you can provide snippets of your writing samples and links to published work. If you work in business, use your portfolio to showcase your projects and detail some of your most significant workplace accomplishments. An online portfolio can work for anyone, so let your creativity flow as you craft the site that perfectly suits you.
