[@aashvisingh5866]

This vedio was very informative in all spects for any design student. The most important and challenging part is how we make our portfolio because it's reflects our first impression, skills , works etc....How can a small mistake like spelling error destruct our chance. And i had a question regarding it, how can we create our portfolio more attractive as well as informative and also how to know our design USP??

[@stressedgamer9268]

very informative video sir. I have one question, if i am applying for a job which requires graphic work so for that should i disregard my projects of garment construction?

[@riyakumari5304]

Thnku for the incredible information about portfolio. It's very confusing for us in the beginning to make one but the points mentioned here are really helpful

[@divyanshisrivastava8783]

after watching this video I'm definitely going to work on my portfolio so these are the point which i learnt from this video: 1. Portofolio is something that shows ur skills, creativity, knowledge, research techniques, understading regarding branding, marketing, designs and so on. 2. it is something that is going to represent me in the industry so i should always choose a suitable fonts, images that make a portfolio look aesthically pleasant and colour that reflect our sense of selection. 3. it should be interesting and creative in such a way that who so ever is going to see, that person can not take their eyes off from that portfolio. 4. we should avoid some silly mistakes that generally we do so always re-check and redefine the work. 5. take inspiration from all your works and select a proper graphics, fonts and always put each and every thing in the process.

[@anjaliranjan3356]

While making portfolio,I always wonder how to make it more understandable to professionals, the best part I learnt from this video is while making portfolio I should focus on the font and the visual while presenting it.

[@rajbalabhagat4848]

Portfolio is your self reflection. It talks to people on behalf of you. It is a visual document which compiles your best work only, number doesn't matter, people seeks for quality not quantity. It looks like fashion magazine with texts and shows your skills, knowledge and design aesthetics. It is also important to avoid making silly mistakes like spelling errors in resume and should keep an eye on details while making portfolio because it tells about your passion, skills and shows how much you care about details and everything.

[@madhukarsushant6115]

This video is very helpful and informative for me. From now i will do exactly the same way you have said, and keep all the details in my mind while working on portfolio. Thank you

[@rinitaneogi5994]

More visuals than texts Show all your skills (eg. softwares) What to be considered? - Resume layouts .Template and fonts .Spelling mistakes - Technical drawings . Forgetting to draw armholes in tops . Leaving out the centre front of trousers What professionals love to see in portfolio? - A good aesthetic of that you understood the theme for collection which should show throughout the portfolio - Showcase the best of your works(be it less but should be worth showing) - Use story telling skills - Be very clear of every single thing drawn or written in your portfolio so that you are ready to answer every Q that interviewers ask

[@NehaGiri-ef6hk]

I have learnt so many things from this video, some of those learnings are : 1. Portfolio is something which represents ourselves. It is not just a visual representation of our work but also who we are. 2. We should reflect our understanding of the brief, market research, skills in our portfolio, and also consider that who is going to evaluate the portfolio. 4. we must avoid silly mistake and be more precise about our protfolio. 5. Our protfolio must be aligned in such a way that everything connects with each other like fonts, graphics, theme , etc. 6. layout plays an important role in making of a resume and portfolio. 7. And also avoid spelling errors.

[@ManasviHissaria-pp7qf]

From this video i have learnt many things like how to present our work ,what should be included or excluded , setting of fonts , avoid silly mistake, more precise , do not add irrelevant things , our work should be aligned properly or connected , our portfolio should look like more of a fashion magazine .

[@anshunarwal3236]

I learned a lot from this video, so I'll simply list some of them here: A portfolio is a visual representation of not only our work but also who we are and our abilities. It should resemble a fashion magazine, with visuals accompanied by text. In our portfolio, we should reflect our understanding of the brief, brand philosophy, market research, skills, and a lot more. We must also consider who will be evaluating the portfolio. It should be interesting enough that the person who sees it does not become bored with it. Because our resume reflects our aesthetics, we must avoid making careless errors and be more precise. Finally, we must not include anything that is unrelated to our project. ~ Anshu

[@RithikaChinni]

This video was very helpful and gave me a clear view of what exactly iwant to do with my portfolio. Thankyou sir

[@Himanshi-px7lq]

learning from this video is what portfolio is ? it should contain only your best work. Fonts ,placements, visuals should be all done aesthetically in well manner, must avoid making errors and not to include anything irrelevant to your work.

[@sneha9363]

this video is very informative and helpful. I learnt from this video that while you making a portfolio always focus on your fonts, flat drawing and most importantly do not make a spelling mistakes.

[@MansiNeekhra]

A lot of things about portfolios/resume are more clear now, for ex, that they reflect our interests, nature and aesthetics. It can depict that we are meticulous or careless. we should also consider who is going to examine our work, so that we can engage that person well. It should have more visuals and should be supported by text, and all the spelling error and small details should be keptr in mind.

[@IshanBatra]

This video provides such a great insight about making a relevant portfolio and clarifies all the confusions that i had regarding creating my portfolio as a fashion design student ! the points that i learned from this video are: 1. Once portfolio must be the creative reflection of the designer, his thoughts ,skills ,aesthetics and his ability to tactically resolve issues! 2. One should reflect our understanding of the brief, brand philosophy, market research, skills in his portfolio. 3. The portfolio must be engaging throughout ,to the evaluator and should not lose its strong representation of aesthetics and sense of precision and relevance to the theme. 4. The portfolio should clearly envision the theme one is catering to along with the design understanding of the designer and should not include anything irrelevant to the project .

[@saikaruna6315]

[@ujjawalsingh6077]

After watching the video I understand that portfolio is not just compilation of your work or project, there is lot to it. Portfolio is a reflection of you as a designer. Hence, portfolio communications on behalf of you. It should have the power to communicate your abilities, skills and aesthetic. So its equally important to pay attention to every aspect and elements that goes on making a single portfolio. This video was really helpful for a newbie like me who will be heading towards the fashion industry soon.

[@kavitapallavi8372]

This video was really informative. Got to know many things about what a portfolio is, what it reflects, what is should look like, what all body of work it must contain.

[@mahetalat8524]

Thank you, that's very insightful! I got to learn how important a role layout plays in making an engaging resume and portfolio and how important it is to be careful in order to avoid spelling errors which doesn't reflect well on us (definitely keeping it mind and triple checking things from now on!). Again, as students, who are going to embark on a career in the fashion industry, it's important know the relevance of what is thaught to us and what will be required from us in the industry. Also, I had a question, since, we are still in the process of learning and exploring new things, how can we identify our usp and how do we show our aesthetic in the portfolio?

[@Decodingfashion_]

We keep exploring ourselves on a daily basis and the evolution is constant. The best way is to identify through the path of IKIGAI because you are going to shape you entire career based on the decision of the USP you are going to build on. so please do identify which domain your passions lies, what the world needs and the way they can benefit , will this passion domain pay you and definitely you have to be good at ... or at-least way better than anybody you know ( and you are going to commit to be better than others everyday). Once you have figured this, it should help you. Let me know what you figured out. Happy New year.

[@gurnamsingh7509]

It has always been a big question for me that what exactly is this industry looking for in portfolio. It was a great help watching this.

[@Decodingfashion_]

After four months, I would like to say that the industry is hungry for design Thinkers. It is a bigger picture now.

[@messystrokes4319]

[@prachikamal9677]

This video was really informative. I got to learn many important points that plays a major role while making an engaging resume and portfolio and also got to know how important it is to avoid making spelling errors while making a resume and portfolio.

[@Decodingfashion_]

Spelling errors are as dangerous as..... you will never realise why your project was rejected. Just because of your spelling errors which reflects the carelessness quotient. So its best to have some research before you publish... Hope that helped. Happy New year.

[@amanpreetkaur7128]

This is such an important video for all the students. Sometimes it's hard to know what the industry wants, as a student.
