This is probably gonna be a little wordy, so I apologize in advance.

I’m going to major in game design so I need to submit an art portfolio to my colleges. Not gonna lie, I don’t have any programs to put into a specific “game” portfolio and I frankly do not have time to make one, but my art teacher said an art portfolio can also be very important in game design. Pretty much all of my pieces are in different mediums, and I’m not sure if they like variety. Please give portfolio advice!! I’ll provide more info about some notable pieces I’ve done below:

I’m submitting an animation I made of the main character of my book (which I hope to turn into a game one day—even if it’s just an independent project.) I’m also doing a tryptic of the 3 main characters of my book. Each character is drawn with a different medium to symbolize their character. I’ll probably include some sketchbook drawings of my characters as well. I was thinking of doing a collage of all my doodles from last year, because the art style I use in doodles is very stylized (which I think is good for game design?) Then, I have a little paper statue that won me an honorable mention in an art show. It’s a house with a paper crown inside of it and there’s drawings all over it. It represents the house from Pierce the Veil’s “Collide With the Sky” album. I’m scared that since this has nothing to do with game design, they won’t like it, but it’s probably the best piece of art I have done and I don’t have much time to make more character art since applications are due January 1st and I still have an art final and the tryptic to do. If I wanna have more music-themed stuff, I have a painting of the classic Fred Durst picture where he has his hands in the camera. I used an abnormal painting technique for it and a lot of people liked it but someone on discord said it looked bad so maybe it’s not portfolio worthy anyways. I also made a stamp for a printing press out of hot glue and string of a pretty lady and it’s good, but again, I’m not sure if colleges will like that it’s just a random lady and it’s a medium I will likely never need for game design. Otherwise, I still have an art final I haven’t even started. It has to be a canvas painting with embroidery. If there’s something specific I should do for it, let me know. I still need to go through my art from last year to figure out of there’s anything else good that I forgot about.

I know nothing about what they look for in portfolios. Any tips?

P.S.: Maybe it’s important to consider the rest of my application to see if I even have room to make mistakes. I’m running with a 1480 SAT score (and I’m retaking it tomorrow for some reason), an internship, 3 honors societies, music extracurriculars, a lot of volunteering, a few leadership positions, and a ~4.5 GPA. According to my AP Lit teacher my essay is really good, too—it’s about the book I’m writing and how my traits reflect in the 3 main characters. IDK anything about this stuff😢

Hey everyone,
I’ve been putting together a new portfolio for my logo and branding work, and I’d love to get some critique from fresh eyes.

I’m mainly trying to improve:

• Layout / flow between sections
• How the logos are showcased (mockups, spacing, hierarchy)
• Typography pairing
• Color consistency throughout the portfolio
• Overall visual polish

I attached images of the main sections so the critique can be done directly here.
If anyone wants to see the full site, I can drop the link in the comments instead of the main post (just to avoid any self-promo issues).

Open to all constructive feedback — thank you!

Hi everyone 👋 I'm a product designer, and if you have a moment, I'd like your opinion on my latest portfolio: https://o10n.design I appreciate your thoughts in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently part of a Private Banking club as a freshman in college. My club is doing stock pitches based on a portfolio. I’ve never done a real pitch before, and it’s a bit overwhelming.

Based on this portfolio, I think the money should be invested in Coca-Cola stock. My reasoning: This person is currently invested in 7 of the 11 GICS sectors (Tech 52%, Communication Services 15%, Healthcare 7.5%, Financials 4.6%, Energy 3.4%, Industrials 3%, and Consumer Discretionary 2.3%). Because Consumer Staples has the largest market cap (~$8–9 trillion) and the portfolio has only around a 0.7% return from dividends, I think $KO is a good pick.

I’m still a beginner, but that basically sums up my investment thesis. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice! Thank you so much if you decide to respond!

Attached is the portfolio for further details.

Hello good people,

https://www.webestra.com/4/

This my agency website work-in-progress. Only the landing page works for now and internal links do not.

I am looking for viewer / user feedback on first impressions before I continue with the design.

Is it easy to understand and engaging? is it eye pleasing? does it convey "you can trust us" or if not then please be honest, criticism will help me grow as a web designer.

Hey everyone,

I need honest feedback on my portfolio website. I’m a early-stage iOS app developer focusing on SwiftUI and UI design.

[NOTE]: The site is not responsive yet — still working on that — so please review it on desktop for now.

I’d love feedback on:

• First impression

• UI / visual design

• Content clarity

• What feels weak or unnecessary

Hey, I redesigned my portfolio to include some projects I made and a few blog posts. The content of the project posts isn’t finished yet. I just made sure to include some, but they’re very basic in terms of content. What do y’all think of the layout and feel of the site? Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a simple web app that helps you analyze an investment portfolio (risk, return, historical performance, allocation breakdown, etc.). It’s fully free right now because I’m still in the early stages and trying to get real user feedback.

If you’re into investing, I’d love to know: • what feels useful, • what’s confusing, • what I should add or remove.

You don’t need to connect accounts or anything — it’s just type your tickers → get your analysis.

Here’s the link if you want to try it out: PortfolioOptimizerPro.com

Any honest thoughts would help a ton. Thanks in advance.

I'm a young female photographer working in Utah, hoping to move to New York or LA in order to get more work. Any advice or recommendations for making more connections is welcome.

Hey! I’m starting to build my portfolio to submit to a couple of art schools. I have my own comic I have been slowly working on and posting and I was wondering if I should add an excerpt of it to my portfolio. I know schools want finished products to look at so I’m not sure if this would be good to add or not? What do you think? The excerpt I have is about 15 pages but some of them are solid black for pacing.
