Thanks for this video. Could you tell us more about the basics of portfolio design layout? I mean the page size, how many pages, margin size, suitable font size & style... etc. Also, what is the preferable orientation? Portrait or landscape? I see most of the online portfolios landscaped from the cover, but when it comes to the facing pages it seems too long.

Kind of unrelated but it would be really interesting to see you render images with very diverse scenery. I have seen that most of the times the surroundings on the image are either forest, with the projects being secluded cabins in the woods or subourban residences. Most oftenly I am asked to render scenes from a city and the surroundings have to apply to the existing ones and it seems a lot more difficult and your tips might be very useful.

Thank you for your comment and for watching the video! In my experience, it's important to choose legible fonts for your portfolio or resume. It's also helpful to have a variety of formats, such as bold, italic, and regular. I actually made a video where I go into more detail about my favorite fonts for design work.

Hey Steven! Thank you for such an amazing video. I love the styles shown in here. However, I would like to know how can one create a portfolio in minimum number of pages for Uni applications showing maximum number of projects in the this simplistic format. I have been struggling to fit in maximum drawings in minimum space. Also, the portfolio is a combination of UX + Architecture works.

@ShowItBetter Жыл бұрын

Hi Manjiri! That is one of the biggest struggles tbh. You have to curate very carefully what projects and images you need in your portfolio. Less is always more, and the more you filter and ask yourself, which are the best 2-5 images that explain my project and my skills as an architect, the better. Remember that the portfolio is a first impression of you as an architect, but it's not the last one. In an interview you have a second impression and chace of showing more images and projects you have worked in. So don't try to show all of your cards from the start, make them curious to see more.

@ShowItBetter 8 ай бұрын

well this is totally subjective and based on my taste, but the spread where you introduce each project is important to have a consistent language so the viewer can understand that someone is starting a new project. If not it can be a bit confusing

The problem I might face when creating my portfolio for masters uni as a 2nd year ArchiStudent, is like in uni we do 99% only group project. I can’t put someone’s else’s plan in my portfolio but if I worked on the section plans and my teammate on the views, like I am not gonna put just random plans with no other drawing to support the project. What should I do?

@ShowItBetter Жыл бұрын

When creating your portfolio as a second-year Architecture student with mostly group projects, you can overcome this challenge by: Clearly defining your role in each project. Including sketches and concept development drawings that highlight your individual thinking. Presenting your section plans and explaining your design decisions. Emphasizing teamwork, coordination, and communication skills in collaborative projects. Including supplementary drawings, with permission from teammates, that support your section plans. Showcasing personal projects or design competitions to demonstrate individual work. Providing a brief description for each project to provide context. Focus on demonstrating your skills, creativity, and potential as an architect while acknowledging the collaborative nature of the projects.
