I love the part that we have to create projects for different platforms cuz it’s so true viewers would get tired of watching the same thing, personally I’ve been having that idea in creating projects for different platforms and not getting struggled with the same platform

That’s good! Of course apps are most common as a requirement so they’re also important but too many people just do 4-5 apps and finish at that.

"It has to be nice to be clickable." 🤩 design portfolio eye candy, lol Very practical, straight to the point advice.

Yeah, it's all compiled knowledge from what I've learned from the people using my courses - I simply ask them a lot of questions via email when they come back to me saying they got the job. That tip 5 thing is something I found out about myself when working freelance and suggested it to a couple of people looking for jobs - also worked for that - so it's in :)

Adding to the "image in the email", tip: Make the image clickable to the site where your portfolio is nested.

[@Haljana]

I liked the part about how to email your portfolio and to include some images below the link. Will start doing that ☺️

[@MalewiczHype]

Yeah we tested it on a large group of designers and the responses were like 30% higher. Then we tested it on some freelance clients and with a similar result. Before people click on a link to get out of the email client it’s good to show them something “interesting” so they’re compelled to click :) Of course it has to be readable (so they see exactly what the visual is about) and looking good :)

This was one of my favs too ... such a great idea!

I really want to showcase my 3D art as a background in my portfolio that is why I have a welcome screen..... But its logical recruiters don't want to spend too much time.. Rarely someone will actually apreciate the work i have put into for my website lol

I pretty much have all the data that I need to make the case study and my current portfolio website is the 'boring' version. Once I'm done revamping my case study, what is the best way to integrate it into my personal website? I hope you can make a tutorial on this one. As usual, great content and easy to understand. I usually doze off listening to other tutorials but not this one!

Awesome! Boring can be good when the main focus is on project, not eye-candy of the portfolio itself :) The best way is probably to create a projects section and list it there next to a couple other case studies :)

[@КириллЛинкер-о5ф]

Greetings, Malewicz! I recently found your channel and what can I say: the stuff you put out is tremendously helpful for me as a beginner. Can you help me understand one thing: when you are talking about 3-5 projects in a portfolio, how many pages of the said project should be there? Should it have like 10-15 screens each? I am asking this question, because I have this frustrating feeling (not an educated fact, just a feeling) that you have to do so many things to "impress" a recruiter and to do it with such quality, that you shouldn't apply for a junior position at this point (and I speak from salary stand point mostly). Because if you can make things to look so smooth and terrific in terms of UX/UI while applying as a junior, then isn't the just an illogical and, quite frankly, inadequate from a potential employer perspective to be this demanding? I might completely misunderstand things, because i don't have a commercial experience in this field though. Would be thanful for your answer. Cheers!

[@MalewiczHype]

Generally 3-5 projects with around 10 screens each is fine, some can have 3-5 screens too, but definitely not projects with 1 screen as you need to write a little bit more about the screens and with one there's not much to show. I made a course on creating those case studies this year that helped a lot of people fill the knowledge gaps and get the job :) You don't need to be smooth and terrific yet, it's more about a wholesome package - so the recruiters see that you know how to do some UI (that's well aligned and has good contrasts, typography) even if it's not beautiful yet, and you can write a case study about it.

[@aguillermo2498]

Thank you very much for this video, what would you suggest to a UX Researcher who does not actually build something to show in his portfolio and has constraint for discussing his research process and results because of non-disclosure agreement?

[@MalewiczHype]

I need to look a bit more into this but there are definitely some obvious rules: 1. present your data in a beautiful way 2. make small research projects even as twitter surveys and analyse them - it can be for an existing products 3. But always treat your research as a visual story - just like a regular design portfolio, just use data and possibly some mockups to highlight how that data affects design

[@nurnabisumon3480]

what do you mean by projects? case study or normal 3-4 pages of design?

[@MalewiczHype]

Good question, I may add it in a future video, but for now: You need at least 3 case studies and you can have a couple of UI works separately just to browse your UI skills (without a case study). But even for purely UI work try to at least write those UI related parts of a case study (fonts, colors, how you set up the grid etc)

[@moragdominika]

Hiii, great video and greaaat tips! Some points are so obvious yet...😅 thanks! I do have a question tho: What if you are "just" a UX designer? not UI. How do I work around the eye-catching mockups? Also: I used to have the website, which got me a job, but recently I was wondering: If I am a UX designer who prototypes in Figma - would it make sense to have an interactive figma file and share the link? problem is that it won't be responsive so 🤞🏻 they won't open it on mobile, but I thought it could be an amazing way to show off the prototyping skills. thoughts?

[@MalewiczHype]

Hey Dominika, that's a good question - let's say your work ends on low-fidelity wireframes and flows, right? Well even if your lo-fi sketches are just pen and paper, I believe you can still present them well (made a course called how to present your work that also shows how to present data, how to "wrap" visually low fidelities and more) - so there's no need to always have beautiful UI's but what you have should have a beautiful presentation anyway :) As for your other question - yes, but as a link from within a case study only - people don't really like to be taken somewhere without making a conscious decision to do so, especially to a prototype they're not familiar with - it's a nice to have in the case study itself, or what you can do is record a part of your screen with the prototype as video of going through it and add that to the portfolio in a mockup (phone or computer) - that way you show the flow to people viewing the portfolio yet they don't have to do any clicking :)

[@moragdominika]

​@@MalewiczHype heej! thanks for the answer. it makes sense, I would loove to see some good examples of presenting wireframes in a beautiful way. The second question: I was thinking about having a prototype instead of a website. meaning my own website just as a prototype rather than coded one 🤔

Hi! I focus on UI mostly because I believe it's an important part of designing.
