Thank you for your amazing videos of inspiration! I have been working on my portfolio for the past 3 days and it is indeed hard to start in the first 3 contents, and somehow thinking at the back of my mind (I think I can do better than what I am currently doing) so it's really hard to move on per page especially when the perfectionist inside keeps messing with your head. Thank you for sharing even if it's just the TOC. It really shows how you guys care to share strategies even if it's the smallest detail to do.
I am a third-year student in architecture school, and I've been working on assembling my portfolio during this winter break. While I was initially excited about the break to dedicate time to my portfolio, I hadn't anticipated the challenges of this process. Determining which projects are my strongest has proven difficult, and maintaining consistency has been a struggle due to the diverse nature of each project. Love your videos! They've been so helpful..
I loved how you explained in each of your videos, and you have inspired me to compose my portfolio. By the way, I'm about to start my 3rd year in Interior Architecture in about 3 months, so I aim to secure an internship to fill the gap in this long break. I, myself am a beginner to the whole Adobe software and a template might be a big help for me and to kick start ideas in my head. to build my portfolio I also have a hard time putting which projects are best and making the portfolio stand out as a 2nd year student who only has done a few projects.
i really like that editing. keep on going dude!
The main part I struggle with when just looking at my portfolio is the idea that I could make it better in a way but don’t know how. Maintaining a cohesive style throughout all the projects, especially when u work in groups at the university is hard since everyone has their style and I’ll never have all the projects in the same style. So the rework to keep the same style is very time-consuming. Btw love your videos! Hope to see you in Milano or elsewhere soon!
thanks for the comment! yep I totally get it, it's not really easy being cohesive at first. And sadly the solution to many of it is redrawing many of the images and plans!

This was so helpful. I was strugling with this part of the porfolio

I struggle with planning out the portfolio and this helped me a lot.
Designing a portfolio creation system is the thing that changed it all for me! before I just winged it, now I have systems in place for each step. Could you comment your email again please?

Making initial decisions on which of many styles to use throughout my project(s).
Hi Steven, what a nice video, great inspiration!
Something I struggle with is to create coherent style throughout my portfolio(s), so I hope to use the templates as inspiration to work out a matching TOC for my design projects!
glad you liked the video! for sure! Could you comment your email again please? I think youtube eliminates them, if it doesn't work then perhaps send me a DM through instagram with the screenshot of this comment and I'll send you the download link.
Love your videos ❤
thanks!
I definitely struggle with a consistent aesthetic across all my project graphics. Feels like a big lift to go do a bunch of rework but its probably worth it! Thanks as always for a great video!
yeah it is a big lift, but since no one else is doing it, when you do it you stand out.... a lot! Could you comment your email again please?

I often find it challenging to maintain a cohesive visual style across all of my project graphics since my projects vary so much in scale and architectural style. It can be quite a demanding task to revamp them, but I believe the effort would be worthwhile. Thank you, as always, for your fantastic video!
cohesiveness is the no 1 issue! for sure. Could you comment your email again please? I think youtube eliminates them, if it doesn't work then perhaps send me a DM through instagram with the screenshot of this comment and I'll send you the download link.
Hi, I am live in turkey. I like it.
I really struggle with the layout/composition of my portfolio and making it all look consistent throughout all of it. Sometimes I design the spreads of one project in a way that I think looks good, then I do another project, and when I look back they end up looking really different haha. I'm still working on that but your content helps me a lot!
thanks! send me a screenshot of this comment via IG and I'll send you the link
Hi Steven, I also struggle with creating a consistent style in my portfolio as for each project in uni I explore a different style and approach to displaying my work to see what i enjoy the most and what I am best at.
that's a common issue! send me a screenshot of this comment via IG and I'll send you the download link :)
Thanks a lot. I would like to know any graphic design books that you read and could recommend? Graphic Design for Architecture, of course! :D
I struggle with font styles which always mess my things . Currently going for masters and your videos are always a example.
thanks! choosing a good font is crucial! send me a screenshot of this comment from your account on IG and I'll send you the link
Hi! What is the font style you used in 1:02??
The biggest struggle for me is compiling a graphic language that looks visually appealing and also synthesizes well with my projects. However, I think the ideas presented here could prove helpful! Thanks!

Thanks a Lot Steve 🙂😊You re best. I struggle with the style of my portfolio images. This is a simple fade or gray color, not an HD image type. How can I enhance them and make them visually appealing?
what do you mean when you say simple fade or gray color? also, send me the screenshot of this comment via IG and I'll send you the download link
I am currently struggling with what to start with in the portfolio, I have no previous experience and Im thinking of putting my thesis work from interior design school :')
Im only struggling with the book mockup
I struggle with putting in the part where work is not related to architecture and design but more related to policy making and reports for technical recommendations.
Gotta redo my table of contents
haha yep
The main part of my struggle is that i don't know how to convert the sheets into booklet which u did in 2:41 and 3:19, can you please help me out with this
I really struggle with showcasing the work I do in a consistent grid that makes sense
Hi! where do you make your pages look like a book? i´ve been looking a lot of portfolios on behance and they are all like that, i hope you can help me! :)
i have same question and cant find the answer anywhere
La parte más difícil es saber que Software usar para mantener una estética única en todos tus proyectos. Yo quiero las plantillas! Saludos desde México!
Hola Andru! gracias por comentar, mándame un pantallazo por IG y te paso el link
İ counted 19 comments that u put hearts on it .can i be 20th ? Love your content 😊
for sure you can be the 20th comment! haha but you have to comment what you struggle with the most in your portfolio
The biggest struggle for me when making my portfolio is when I try to find a font that fits my design and what I want to show to the public, also when I insert an image and I can't scale it well.
so many struggles! haha, Could you comment your email again please? I think youtube eliminates them, if it doesn't work then perhaps send me a DM through instagram with the screenshot of this comment and I'll send you the download link.
Hi Steven, informative video as always.
I commented yesterday (1 day ago) but unfortunately, it seems like CZcams deleted my comment since I included my email. I was asking for advice, I am currently reworking on my portfolio, and I am trying to figure out which project should be the first one (opening project). I have a commercial building design which is my best work so far and I have a residential design that just got completed being constructed and I am wondering if should I add my best project as the first one on my portfolio or should I add the completed residential building as my first project?
the best one for sure! and then the completed one. Usually you want to have the more wow projects towards the beginning, and towards the middle, projects that add layers of complexity to your profile. Also for the template, send me a screenshot of this comment via IG and I'll send you the download link
@@ShowItBetter Noted, will take that into consideration. Thank you, will send you the screenshot as requested also
I struggle with a consistent graphic throughout the portfolio. The whole portfolio doesn't feel cohesive.
And with acquiring a job interview.
I feel you! Could you comment your email again please? I think youtube eliminates them, if it doesn't work then perhaps send me a DM through instagram with the screenshot of this comment and I'll send you the download link.
I struggle with the composition, is it less? Should I add more? Is this too much?
And end up creating two different composition
true! also send me the screenshot of this comment via IG and I'll send you the download link for the templates
How many pages do you think that the Portfolio, more or less, should have? thanks
it's hard to say specifically, really depends on who you are sending it to, what is your objective, etc. But when a portfolio exceeds 50-60 pages I would say it's too much
Well, I wondered because most jobs want a portfolio who has around 10MB. How many good pages do you think that it should fit in there? Around 20 to 30? @@ShowItBetter
Ey! I already comment twice but my comment is missing. I try here again, I'm struggling with consistency in my portfolio, your help and resources will be very helpful!, as usual a crack, thx for all your help

Any free indesign template for portfolio ?
this would have been free if you would have watched until the end!
by far the biggest struggle for me is finding a way of figuring of a portfolio design that flows from one project to another cohesively and as always the fonts to use.
ohh yess... this can be a big one. Sometimes using the same introduction format for a project can work, or adapting all of your projects to one image style (example collage renders ) can work.

The biggest struggle for me when creating a portfolio is the consistency of spreads and choosing a font
I always opt for san serif fonts and sticking to a color palette! Could you comment your email again please? I think youtube eliminates them, if it doesn't work then perhaps send me a DM through instagram with the screenshot of this comment and I'll send you the download link.
The biggest struggle for me is making the portfolio homogeneous with the rest.

Audio quality is off and not synced
Edit: maybe?
in what part? thanks for the help!
So the sound is a little echoey, and the audio sync looks off in the first cut, but I think may have been mistaken
