How to do the ui designer's portfolio? How to prepare a portfolio? What should be included in the portfolio?
Resume can let employers know your general information, work experience, project experience and so on. But the portfolio can better reflect the design level and ability of UI designers. A complete portfolio, like a resume, should have some basic contents, such as an introduction at the beginning and a summary at the end. As for the richest works in the middle, they should be displayed in order.
You can adjust the order and proportion of portfolio display according to the quality of your different works and the business direction of the position you are applying for.
First, the basic content of the portfolio
A complete collection of works should include self-introduction at the beginning, exhibition of works at the end and thanks.
1, page 1
The ability of a UI designer has been demonstrated at the beginning of a portfolio, and the interface style at the beginning of the entire portfolio is as unified as possible. Some designers will use simple pictures as the first page of their portfolios, as shown in the following figure.

Some designers like to come straight to the point. The first page contains the elements of your own work and the content to be displayed later.

Generally speaking, at the beginning of the portfolio, you should also attach a simple self-introduction, including name, gender, age, graduation institution, contact information, photos and so on. And then show your work experience and skills. Work experience does not need to be as detailed as a resume.

After introducing yourself, you can have a table of contents page of your works, so that the enterprise can know the order of your works more clearly. The catalogue of works needs to include the revision of the content and order of works in the works.

2. The content of the portfolio
The content of the portfolio is the core of the whole portfolio, and you can choose your own excellent works for detailed display in the portfolio. If you have a favorite company, in order to increase the chances of success in the interview, you can adjust the contents and display order of the portfolio according to the business direction of the company. For example, if the company you are applying for is an e-commerce, you can focus on showing your e-commerce design works, enrich your e-commerce design works, or consciously show them in front.
The number of works in the portfolio should not be too large, because there are too many contents and the number is very complicated. People who look at the works will not find the key points, your advantages and highlights, so
The works in the collection must be refined, and the quality of the works must be guaranteed when the number of works is small.
Step 3: the ending
At the end of the exhibition, you can politely express your thanks and enhance the friendliness of the enterprise to yourself. Pay attention to the style of the ending page and the interface style at the beginning as much as possible.

Second, the portfolio-works
The content of the portfolio is the core of the whole portfolio, and the content of the portfolio is the display and introduction of the works. Through the exhibition and introduction of works, let enterprises know your design ideas and design ability.
UI design works are definitely classified, such as mobile design, web design, e-commerce design and even some designers have done graphic design. Different design contents are displayed in different ways. Let's talk about some portfolio contents of a mobile APP first. How can I show my design works?
A good product should not only have a beautiful interface, but also maximize the user's operating efficiency, influence the user's operating habits through color tones, and clarify the primary and secondary display of product functions and product contents with colors or graphics to reduce the user's operating burden. Therefore, in order to let enterprises know your design ideas more clearly, you can choose to show your works according to the design process.
Generally speaking, UI designers will participate in the process of requirements review, understanding PRD, user research, emotional board combing and so on. The main purpose is to let UI designers know more about the product and design an operation interface that is more in line with the target users. We can all show the process of our participation in the portfolio, not just show the works.

The exhibition contents of the selected music APP portfolio are: cover, design concept, demand analysis, competing product analysis, design criteria, design ideas, information architecture, color \ font specification, icon design and page design, and all designs can explain the design ideas in detail.
Product positioning:
A brief introduction to the project background and product positioning can help enterprises to judge whether your design meets your product requirements. After the product positioning, there will be user portraits, competitive product analysis, design concepts and other displays.

Show design ideas and product information architecture;
According to the requirements, the design ideas, product functional architecture and output prototype design are sorted out, and the product design ideas and product architecture are displayed to enterprises more intuitively.

Of course, in addition to showing according to the process, we can also show it directly and classify it. For example, web design can be divided into enterprise official website, e-commerce station, backstage and special page. And the plane can be divided into VI, LOGO and so on. There are many ways to display, but the display order must be smooth and orderly.

Third, other precautions
1. The portfolio should be packed into PDF, and the number of pages should be controlled at 50~ 100.
2. When submitting your resume, you must attach a portfolio. It is best to have a portfolio link, and the name of the portfolio compression package must have a name.
If the portfolio is already an online project, you can show it directly to the interviewer.
4. In the portfolio, you can show the works you have learned, such as hand-drawing and copying, which can reflect your learning ability and attitude of continuous improvement, but you should pay attention to excellent works.
5. If there are not many actual projects, you can also choose a product you want to optimize, further optimize the product interface and form your own combination.
How can a novice ui designer organize his portfolio (what is better for the UI portfolio) and share with you some tips on how to improve the portfolio:
First, the works should be few and fine, mainly commercial works.
Some UI designers often put a lot of works in their resumes when preparing resumes, which is a wrong way. Works should be few but fine. Don't put all your works on your resume just to prove that you have done a lot of things, because the interviewer has no time and won't be willing to browse all your works. Some bad or ordinary works will not add points, but will lower the level of your whole portfolio. In order to impress the interviewer, the works selected in the portfolio must be works that you recognize and prove your strength.
In addition, most of the designs we do in practical work are commercial designs, and the interviewer needs a UI designer who has practical experience and understands the market and customer needs. Therefore, the things presented in our works should have commercial characteristics, be simple and straightforward, have commercial information, be executable and be easy to spread. Of course, in addition to commercial works, some excellent airplane manuscripts can also add points to your portfolio, but it is better than important control, about 20%-30%.
Second, create the highlights of the work
In a collection of works, it is obviously impossible to make every work excellent and eye-catching, and there is no need to pursue perfection in every work. All we have to do is create a bright spot. For example, add illustrations, works designed with 3D software, animation works, video works, etc. Your resume is a skill that design companies attach great importance to at present. If you don't have the above skills, it doesn't matter, because in many cases, only one or two eye-catching works can impress the interviewer. Your graduation project, excellent cases you participated in and award-winning works can all be displayed as highlights after processing.
Third, other details.
In addition to the above two points, there are some details worthy of our attention, such as several simple aspects:
(1) The typesetting should be concise and tidy, which will make the whole collection more readable and will not make people feel cumbersome; (2) Classify the works into lists to enhance the readability of the collection;
3 targeted resume. Different companies have different businesses and different requirements for designers. Try to find companies that meet your own experience and add works that meet the needs of the corresponding companies to your portfolio, so the chances of successful job hunting will be much greater.
When perfecting our portfolio, we must know how to choose, pay attention to details, and have enough excellent content to highlight your own ability and attract the attention of the interviewer. Please remember that a good portfolio will definitely help us get better resources!
