A designer who doesn’t have an online portfolio is like eating a hamburger without the patty. It’s pure crazy. In this day and age, an online portfolio is not only easy to get, it’s also a must.
Dribbble and Behance may be the biggest online portfolio sites today, but with all that competition and shine it’s easy for a designer to get lost in the fray.
To get that competitive edge, we’ve compiled a list of 12 portfolio sites that you can subscribe to for getting discovered.
