Graphic design portfolio review

Heya! I have been a graphic designer for a couple years now and now have a solid amount of work that isn't all just from uni, I am part way through completing my framer website and would love some advice on what people professional designers think about it. There is still a lot of work to be done but I feel as though I have been staring at it too long and can't form any opinions on it apart from wanting to restart already!! Any advice or tips are much appreciated.

7 years as a game dev and I never once found out why I failed an interview. So I built something that tells you.

Every job cycle I hit the same two walls. I never knew whether my portfolio survived a recruiter's first 30 seconds, and after an interview nobody ever told me what actually went wrong. You get a rejection email and that's the whole feedback loop.

So I built Preterview.

Three AI interviewers read your portfolio and the job posting, then ask out loud. Each one has a job: your portfolio, role fit, fundamentals. When an answer is thin they follow up on the spot instead of politely moving on. When you're stuck they open another door and keep going.

At the end you get a report out of 100. Feedback on every answer, a stronger version of the answer you actually gave, plus your filler words counted and how long you took to start talking. That last part was the thing I never knew about myself. I say "um" far more than I thought.

There's also a portfolio review that reads a GitHub, Notion or site link and scores the work itself rather than the bullet points about it.

Stack is Next.js on Vercel with Turso, and it runs in English and Korean.

Honest limits. It's strongest for software and game roles, because that's where I could actually validate the questions. Voice mode wants a decent mic. Signing up gives you one full interview with no card, mainly because I need people to tell me where it's wrong.

The part I keep rewriting is the follow-up questions. If you try it, the thing I most want to hear is where a follow-up felt like it didn't read what you just said.

Looking for honest feedback on my UI/UX portfolio

Hey everyone! I recently redesigned my portfolio and would love some honest feedback.

Portfolio: https://het-designs.vercel.app/

Open it on laptop or PC💻🖥️

I’m mainly looking for feedback on:

  • Overall visual design & first impression
  • Case studies and storytelling
  • What feels weak or unnecessary
  • Whether it feels strong enough for junior/product design roles

Portfolio: https://het-designs.vercel.app/

Please be brutally honest. I’m here to improve, not collect compliments. 😄

First attempt at a luxury branding portfolio – Seeking feedback! Can I land small gigs with this style?

Hi everyone,
I’m 17 years old and just started teaching myself graphic design. I’m currently building my first portfolio to hopefully land some small freelance gigs (like local cafes, florists, or boutiques) to save up some money.
This is my first project: "BLUME" – an avant-garde luxury floral brand.
I went for a "Dark Botanical" vibe, combining deep burgundy tones with teal textures and high-end serif typography. I’ve tried to focus on creating a consistent brand experience, from the packaging and business cards to the overall editorial feel of the presentation.
Since this is my very first attempt, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts:
Layout & Aesthetics: Does it look high-end enough for the target audience?
Professionalism: Is this level of work sufficient to approach small businesses for paid work?
Portfolio Tips: What should I add or change to make it look more like a "real" designer's work?
I used Canva for the layouts and some AI tools for the mockups to visualize the brand in a real-world setting.
Be as honest as possible – I really want to learn and improve!
Thanks in advance!

[FEEDBACK] Product designer looking for honest feedback on my portfolio

Hey everyone!

I'm a product/UI designer currently looking for new opportunities, and I recently updated my portfolio.

I'd really appreciate some honest, critical feedback from other designers, founders, recruiters, or anyone who hires designers.

Portfolio: https://www.ezherin.com/

I'm particularly interested in feedback on:

  • Does the portfolio immediately communicate what kind of designer I am?
  • Are the projects/case studies strong enough?
  • Is the UX of the website itself good?
  • Does anything feel confusing, unnecessary, or weak?
  • Do the projects demonstrate actual product thinking, or do they feel too focused on visuals?
  • If you were hiring a product/UI/brand designer, would this portfolio make you want to reach out?
  • What would you change first?

Please don't hold back. I'm specifically looking for things that I can improve rather than compliments.

Thanks in advance — I'll genuinely go through the feedback and make changes based on it.

Built a portfolio that doesn’t have an “About Me” section.

Instead, you can just interrogate a chat window. 💬

Ask about me, my projects, GitHub, LeetCode, Codeforces, or what I’ve built, and it answers using live data.

The backend is where I had most of the fun
Java 25, Spring Boot 4, Virtual Threads, PostgreSQL, jOOQ, Kafka, OpenSearch, Valkey, Testcontainers, and a two-agent LLM architecture.

Frontend is React + TypeScript, deployed on Vercel.

Try it out
https://sahib-nanda-portfolio.vercel.app

Would love some feedback from fellow developers.

EDIT: ADDED ANONYMOUS CHAT FEATURE

Is my portfolio bad ?

Hello,

I’ve been searching for a moment now a job in the graphic design field, and I’m getting a bit down recently by the lack of interest of my profil. (I’m living in France but willing to relocate).

I’ve been meaning to ask for a long time but always been a big afraid since some opinion can be harsh but now I need advice on how to do better.

Here’s the link of my portfolio :

https://www.behance.net/carlazarcone

So, is it bad ?

Is the work the issue ? The presentation ?
I also post some of my artwork that are essentially illustration on my instagram.

You can find it here :

Thank you for your time and response.

Discussion on PM in portfolio

Hey everyone, can we discuss Phillip Morris vs …..

I currently have 5% of my portfolio in PM, this is from them growing 100+% since ownership. My portfolio construction is mostly upstream tech, industrials, medical, utilities, and I have a little bit of energy and discretionary. I like the thesis that as marijuana becomes federally legal and legal globally PM will capitalize and have more FCF. They pay a smaller dividend now than in the past because of the smokeless transformation and medical acquisitions. The reason I’m reaching out here is 5% in a dividend ballast company is safe and I’m not concerned about a major hit to them however there are other safe companies in my main sectors that grow more but have a smaller dividend.

Can anyone weigh in on the safety of having an outlier company for balance and dividends or downsize this position add more to my main portfolio thesis but market cycles will all correlate and I’d have less protection as the cycle changes.

Thought?

Basic personal portfolio and resume website. Source code available 😉

Customizing (make it yours)

This site is built by Shreyansh Vishwakarma, and the content is intentionally hardcoded, no CMS, no database.

The easiest way to make it yours: ask your LLM to replace the hardcoded values. All personal data lives in a few obvious places:

  • app/page.tsx — name, subtitle, quickLinks, workProjects, labProjects, timelineEvents, stats, and contactLinks.
  • app/contact/page.tsx — your emails and social links.
  • app/globals.css — theme colors and fonts.
  • app/icon.svg — the favicon.

Swap in your own projects, links, and story, then redeploy. Everything else just works.
