Great timing Will, since I am working on my portfolio rn!

[michaellennox]

This is all super helpful. I’m just getting going and definitely feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the things I need to do to get started in the industry. You managed to break a lot of things down into reasonable chunks and give some great action steps on how to better my portfolio. Thank you!

Man, you always come on time. Last time you came with vectary and now this. 🤩🤩
You're surely going to make my portfolio great 😃😃

[helenmlady]

Love the video! You should totally do one on how you applied your business knowledge while pursuing graphic design

[Jacoby]

Great video, great animations, great designing. I'd love to become a professional logo and animation designer one day and could make it all by myself. Keep going :D

[_Encie]

I'm an industrial designer and this was very reaffirming and helpful. thanks Will :)

[johnprime]

Hi Mr Will, Can you please do a video on how to make case studies?

[raqueliatheimpatientgardne]

Yes I would like to see tut on "contact form process, " (Code side) & tut on animations. Do you prefer JS over CSS? Also do you subscribe to the Figma/XD/Webflow design platforms with the former now able to be read by a plug-in called "Anima?"

Hey there, a lovely video❤,
But what if I am new to designing, and I don't have any client work.
So, what can I add on my portfolio?

[XDiCap]

I have ideas for the next version of my portfolio, I just need more/better stuff to put in it first

Hey Will, love the video as always, but I have a problem with your ad for Envato. Whenever you do an ad for Envato you say something about the simple license Envato offers and how it's easy to use because even if you end your subscription you can still use what you downloaded. I don't know if they have different terms of agreement in every country, but the terms I read cleary state that once I end my subscription, I, for example, have to delete every font I ever downloaded from them. So the way your ad is phrased bugs me a bit. Like I said might be a country thing, but it is probably a good idea to check your terms of agreement for your Envato subscription again before the next sponsorship. Like I said not a critique of you and your work, it just bugs me everytime and I finally decided to comment about it.

QUESTION: There are Graphic design jobs that lists "Bsc degree in Graphics or Any Bsc degree" as a requirement to apply for the jobs.

my question is; as a school dropout who is good a Graphic Design and well spoken, how do i go about this?

I'm asking this question because most Graphic design work has the above as a requirement.

[FantasticArsal]

I've been struggling to get a stable income for a long time, hopefully I'll get myself going after working on my portfolio

[iwonaszewczyk]

What if we do not have a clients yet? How to build a trust, so the clients will give me a chance?

[briterencew]

Thanks for the content, currently going through the ups and downs of designing my portfolio/ personal brand and wanted to know if there is an alternative option to a website portfolio because right now buying web space isnt a option?
