Thank You!! Exactly what I was looking for.. 🙂 Take Care!!
I heard that text is something the company or boss or whatever does not want to see, they only care for the actual pics and such, how much text is too much?
is this good software for interior design
You did a great job show how to set up a digital Portfolio when my instructor has done that in class. You should be a teacher.
Nice, Roberto
Thanks!
This video was clear and straight to the point. Thank you!
hi this was very helpful thank you
Really liked this portfolio I am liking the setup so far. I tried to get it to be more vertical but it won’t do it on my version. So I used just what it wanted to do and created the rest of it from that point. But I do love the look and appearance of it.
So for a portfolio is it better to use I design or photoshop?
Hey Roberto, this was a great tutorial, I really learn something about indesign, I’m new to this but wish to make a career in graphic design. Do you have an animated portfolio.
thanks for the help brother.
If all the pages under interior behave the same way, how did you put different pictures and text paragraphs in each one?

i’m a fresher.. i have no work experience.. currently im looking for a Graphic designer job.., but i designed some self initiated projects like Logos, Flyers, and some business card designs.. and i did those designs for freelancer, 99designs contest.. can i put those designs in my portfolio..? Will u please give me some examples, how a portfolio looks for a fresher or one who has no work experience in graphic designing field..?
Page numbers or no?
Hi Roberto! Is it possible for you to share tips on a responsive web design or UI design portfolio? I’ve often had people comment that they do find the presentation impressive (screens presented within Apple devices) however the actual screen content isn’t too clear.
Bro, you doing very nice work! Keep it up
I am in the process of designing an online architectural PDF portfolio that cannot exceed 20 MB of space. There will be about 15 pages totaled but I wanted to know if the program your using, InDesign, is capable of compressing files like this smaller. The content of the work is nothing too graphic nor detailed. The pages would be more simplistic then what you provided in the video.
Thank you so much really helped mega much 🙂
How do you make the line after your name then email then phone number
Thanks so much! Really helpful video. Appreciate it.
Awesome video! Appreciate it, I tried it with out creating the master B part pages. It wasn’t coming out right, this was better than what I was doing! lol
Hi Roberto.
Do you know how to embed videos from youtube, in a pdf?
I want to improve the experience of the viewer of my porfolio, by changing an image & link to a video for an embedded video.
Best Regards.
PS: Congratulations for the channel, It´s very good
Thank you very much for making this video, for learning in design.
I am just graduated Architecture so i am interested to learn more in design for making portfolios for finding a job .
Thanks again 🙂
Thank you Tommy Murphy awesome any cover tutorials? Thank you.
pretty clear and Helpful <3
thanks man (Y)
Where can I find your pdf portflio? I can’t find it on your website. Very helpful video btw!
yo this is another anime wallpaper
its my fav anime SAO
Hey, can I also upload URL links of my work on to the portfolio
starting to look for design jobs and freelance work. you don’t know how much I thank you.
being legally blind and a digital artist is hard yet fun enough. but I’m nervous about job hunting.
this relieves a lot of stress.
my portfolio should speak for me in interviews- not my disability- I wish some employers saw it that way
sword art online wallpaper.. niceeeeee
nice tutorial
what paper is preferred when printing it out?
Thanks
All of this information was very helpful 🙂 Used this video to help me get started on my portfolio. Thank you very much for this 🙂
If i Set the margins to a quater of an inch does that mean when it prints it will not print on that part or the paper?
The reason i am asking is because i am going to be punching holes on the left hand side of my page to put them into my portfolio? i am not using sleeves. therfore would the left hand margin need to be an inch?
if this makes any sence
how did you merge the two pages together?
Hi， i have some trouble with making words larger quickly ,could you mind tell me about that ??
Robert, a question: I am a graphic designer in the federal government. Although I have a lot of good work, I am not getting many interviews. I have been on the interview panel for other designers we’ve hired whose work, IMO, is almost never better than mine (as a designer, you can tell). I’m guessing that potential employers (esp. ones too far away to drive to) don’t really have time to bring people in to interview, and would rather peek at your stuff on the down low before even contacting you. I’m starting to believe that NOT having a website or link to something is actually hurting my chances of getting interviews. In your opinion, which type of portfolio should I focus on: 1. Print with hard copy images 2. Online portfolio, with a URL on my resume 3. Interactive PDF (via InDesign) that I can send beforehand if I get called in for an interview. OR a combination? Thanks.
Thank you roberto!
where do you get the majority of your images? Is using google a bad idea?
i saw you’ve used two pages to describe one work .. how that will appear in PDF ? how can i force the PDF to show it in one shot or it happen automatically since you drag the image on the two pages ?
I have never used Indesign before, so this is all a learning experience for me. But i have a question, in my Indesign, the pages are represented in pairs, how do i change it to the single pages. So just to clarify, when i add a new page to the document, its creates one on the left and then when i add another page, instead of going under the previous page, its goes right beside it, like a book. Can you help me to correct this?
Hi Roberto, I’m just wondering. I’m in the process of creating an Architecture Portfolio, to highlight some of the work I’ve done at university. Could I essentially create a layout in photoshop, using all the abilities and capabilities of PhotoShop image manipulation and then export that layout as a jpeg into my InDesign layout?
