[@desanmoodley8971]

Sir I go into second year next year and start using computers for work, I look foward to watching every video on this channel in the coming years❤

[@LearnUpstairs]

That’s awesome! Best of luck with your second year, glad the videos can help you out! 💙

[@pingu_comunista]

2 is definitely my favorite

[@kakarotsaga7243]

all the versions are ''epoustouflantes" but the 3rd portfolio is just ✨✨

[@victoriamarchiorato8439]

I love videos about portfolios 😮‍💨💙

[@user-bh4ew5wf6b]

I ve never think about the 1:1 ! The second one, have a better porportion for architectural drawings and also give much more "space"

[@LearnUpstairs]

Exactly! The 1:1 isn’t super common, but it’s been my favorite aspect ratio lately. Plus, when you fullscreen it on a typical 16:9 screen, it fills up so much better than an A4 portfolio!

[@snowb0ard]

WoW! Really good work! I can’t decide which one I prefer. They all look so good!

version 2, the best one !!

Hi, what site do you use to get the shots of your portfolio pages printed like a real portfolio?

[@LearnUpstairs]

I use mockups! If you search for "magazine mockup photoshop" you should find plenty of results. It's easier to find A4-related aspect ratios, but if you need a custom format, then you'll probably need to tweak the original file to your needs. Working with mockups is quite easy, it's just a matter of swapping the placeholder information and you'll get a perfect final result, but in case you need help, there are a ton of tutorials here on KZbin showing how to work with these types of photoshop file structure.

[@shavaughndavidson2257]

What do you use to visualize the mockups

[@LearnUpstairs]

I use mockups in Photoshop to make these real portfolios. There are many free ones you can find online. But everything happens then in Photoshop because you can take the mockups and really customize them to make them look how you want it.

[@nimo945]

does adobe indesign make it look like a flipbook ? how can i make it like this ? if its okay can you do some simple tutorials ?

[@LearnUpstairs]

To get that flipbook look, you’ll need to use mockups. These are premade Photoshop files where you can add your PDF as an image in the placeholder. It’s super straightforward, just download a .PSD mockup file and follow the instructions. If you search online, you'll find plenty of tutorials on how to work with Mockups, but I can definitely make a video about using them for portfolios in the future!

[@nimo945]

@ thank you so much and cant wait for your tutorials !!

como imprimes en Indesign, otro formato que no sea A4 ?

[@LearnUpstairs]

When you first create a new InDesign file you can select any size you want. It's often recommended to stick to known sizes such as an A4 in case you decide to print it. If you have a file already created and want to change the page size, you need to go to File > Document Setup and change the Width and Height there. Now to actually print something other than an A4, you need to check with a local print shop and see what type of file prepping they need. If you have a square portfolio that is based on an A4, like 210mm wide and tall for example. Then you'll probably be cutting from the A4 printed to match the correct final aspect ratio. But again, this can vary from print shop to print shop, so I recommend consulting with the print shop staff and doing some test prints to get the result you're looking for!

@@LearnUpstairs y de forma digital ? o es mejor guardar como, .pdf ?

[@LearnUpstairs]

Yes, saving as a PDF is usually the best option! PDFs keep your formatting intact and are easy to share and view across devices. Just check your export settings in InDesign, if you're uploading to a website, sometimes you need to disable facing pages to ensure proper display. But if you're sharing via email, enable facing pages so it reads like a proper portfolio. Saving as PDFs also allows you to work the resolution and compression. Sometimes you need to have it very small to send to potential employers or universities, so it's easier to use the PDF saving settings to do that before even thinking about passing through a PDF compressor.
