Overview As a graphic designer, you realize that the visual design of your portfolio site is extremely important. One of the most critical visual content pieces of a website is the hero image on the Home page. It’s the first thing your visitors will see, and it sets the tone for their entire experience. You can choose to use a single image or multiple images and graphics to create components like a collage or carousel for the hero image area of your portfolio site. In addition, you will also need to create some images and graphics that you can use in other areas of the portfolio site. For example, you may want to use a different hero image for different pages, or you may want some graphics and icons to use in the body of the webpages. You can create and use various types of images and graphics for your portfolio site, such as photos, previous design work, abstract images, background images, patterns, and so forth. However, keep in mind that any visual content you create for your portfolio site should reflect your values, skills, and personality as a designer.
