What's the best online Portfolio? Anonymous Fri Mar 23 09:55:50 2018 No.3356538 [Reply] [Original]

I tried using wix, but when I uploaded my artwork, it reduced the size of the image and it doesn't look as good anymore.

Right now, I'm considering using DeviantArt but I don't know if its a professional thing to do. I plan on making a separate account, solely dedicated to showing only my portfolio pieces, and it won't have anything else maybe except my cv.

You think this is a good idea?

I remember Dave Rapoza once saying something along the lines of: "When sending out your portfolio, don't link a client to a site that has way better artists than you are". Kinda stuck with me because it makes so much sense. If I was looking for an artist and you sent me your portfolio on artstation, one look at the front page would make me already forget all about you and your art and I'd instead try to hire one of those guys instead.

completely right. Have your portfolios whereever you want. Artstation is a good pick, much like any other artforum or social media website – But only for the social aspect.

When you send in a portfolio to a job you apply for then isolate it. Best bet would be to build your own one. It does not need to be fancy.
Something like this is sufficient: https://www.artpad.org/

and can be learned to code in 2-3 days.

1. Harden the server (you won't believe how many attempted automated attacks I've already seen)
2. Make sure people can't get where they shouldn't be able to go through proper configuration
3. having forms and stuff open is just asking for XSS attacks https://bdtechtalks.com/2016/03/10/a-beginners-guide-to-cross-site-scripting-xss-attack-prevention/
4. strip EXIF data from all submitted art especially if they are photographed pieces unless you want to get doxxed

where? how?

the problem i've encountered with coding it yourself is that you can make it look perfect on your desktop, but your client might be checking in from mobile, or tablet, etc. and then it's all wonky. or not? plz help kind anon.

From what I've heard from picky asshole art directors, deviantart gives a bad first impression. imo it shouldn't matter as long as what's in it is good, but there are people who apparently think it should be a factor in their decision.

use artstation.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 26 05:40:53 2018 No.3360522 >>3360511 Not a bad idea actually.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 26 08:34:10 2018 No.3360689 >>3360149 Good points. I am obviously new to these aspects myself. I haven't gone live yet with my portfolio site but I do own webspace and a domain through my internet provider. Would that not get rid of any potential problems if I dont host myself?

If you go with github like this smart person says >>3360511 that's probably the best option, if you're not buying the server you want to host on you won't need to worry about having to harden it and stuff. Exif should be removed by default if you're uploading to imgur, tumblr, etc
