If you do any type of design work then an impressive portfolio site is one of your most important needs. And the first step to designing your own site<\/strong> is studying other sites<\/a> for ideas.<\/p>\n

These little design ideas may seem insignificant at first. But when you piece them all together you\u2019ll start to see a bigger picture for your personal portfolio website.<\/p>\n

Finding quality portfolios and gathering ideas<\/strong> takes time. However, with Bestfolios<\/a> you can shave down the time spent searching and dig into some great-looking sites right away.<\/p>\n

The Bestfolios site is much like other inspiration galleries, but with a twist. This site focuses only on designer portfolios<\/strong>, many of which feature designers who work at major companies like Google and Facebook.<\/p>\n

In fact, if you check out the collections page<\/a> you can browse through portfolios based on curated topics like specific tech companies<\/strong>. Right now the collections are small but I\u2019m hoping the site will add a lot more in the near future.<\/p>\n

From the main page you can sort by 3 types of portfolios:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. UX\/product design.<\/li>\n
  2. Graphic design.<\/li>\n
  3. Motion graphics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \"example<\/a><\/figure>\n

    Each portfolio is also tagged with certain design features like if they include case studies, visual artwork, or follow certain design trends like minimalism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    I\u2019ve found this gallery immensely valuable for picking out some awesome portfolio ideas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Most websites are built on top of other ideas and they usually hinge on a great design. So use this inspiration gallery to your advantage and be sure to save any portfolios that really grab your attention.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
