What is the name of the application you used to animate the portfolio? So that it would be an interactive book

[@DenaNguyen]

It's called FlipHTML5! It's completely free to download if you just do a google search :)

[@keih2018]

@@DenaNguyen thanksss !🥴❤️

[@sophiarth4292]

Is it possible to download the file with the animation? Or can you just embed it with this application? :)

[@Emmie837]

if you are into UI/UX like me I used Unity to make my videogames/apps ui interactive

I’ve done so many branding projects like this till now in my class but never knew how to put it together. Thank you so much for this 💜. You’re such an amazing artist 😍

[@joshparaiso6534]

As a hunger games fan, I love what you did with the book covers! Sooo amazed with your work. Hope to see more from you!

[@ebmage8793]

Very inspiring! I've been working for a few years now and Im ready to rebrand my own portfolio. Im more fired up to do so because of your video, thank you!

[@emanipettiford868]

I see your growth and it’s motivating! I know you’ve worked hard and I love to see it. Thanks for this video, it’s truly helped me!!! I’m excited for you! I’m a fan of you girl! Keep it up!

[@YumpixelDesign]

Your video just popped on my KZbin so I decided to watch it and get some inspiration to create my own portfolio. More than that I just loved the way you communicate... you seem calm and humble. =) It was equally pleasant seeing your projects. You are organized and know exactly how to show your work. Thank you for it xox!

[@itanithalefi4434]

Thank You so much for this breakdown! Your cross platform synergy is brilliant, and your work is absolutely amazing!

[@xKiittyWhitex]

WOW, you are incredibly talented! I'm a new graphic design student, so while I've been creating on my computer for many years, I'm still relatively new in the world of design and actually applying techniques that bring designs together. You're extremely inspiring, I hope one day I can present work that's even half as good as yours.

[@stephenhewitson5264]

Im a second year graphic design student, and this video really gave me alot if valuable insight on creating a portfolio and especially the quality, i really love ur designs and concepts they are so beautifully crafted and executed, and aesthetic as well! ☺️

[@annemagdalene368]

I'm new in the Graphic Design industry and I feel like this is the most inspiring video/information that I've Gaines in the past year! Your tips are so great I want to print them out so I remember to look up to them. I aspire your creativeness and design process - you really are an inspiration!

[@rur1279]

I remember seeing your passion project going viral on twitter. Kudos for creating the art and message

[@michellemrdgz]

I've missed amazing job opportunities for not having a portfolio, and I think I know how to do it, thanks to your advice. Simple and precise!

[@jaunegiallo]

Your projects are terrific! I particularly love the idea of the bookmark storage: it's so simple yet so effective. 💪🔥

[@lakshyajonwal]

Your portfolio just blew up my mind I am so motivated to create a portfolio like yours, your designing skills are amazing

[@cuijessie4243]

just want to say thank you so much. Its helps me out of stress and just be inspired. love your works

[@giengien208]

I'm late but I love your projects. It is just amazing how art reflects the person we are. If I ever get the chance to enroll for a degree in visual comms or any comms program, I would definitely recall the tips you just gave! Thank you so much!

[@SalleyneDesign]

I just came from your first portfolio video where I had alot of trouble seeing what you created, but this is so much better! And I absolutely love your work! Especially your "This is America" passion project. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[@user-os8gp7eh2v]

Thank you for sharing! As a senior about to graduate soon, it's really inspiring seeing how you approached this

[@janelchang7196]

Your design project is amazing! The entire portfolio design is just clean and eye-catching! Thank you for all the tips, I am making my portfolio and I have 0 idea on how to design it

[@iammelissamatheson]

Wow! I'm so, so impressed by the way you lay out your work. Your keen attention to detail and organization really comes through and you have some really beautiful work. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@erictaggart4819]

I like how well thought out and helpful your tips are. They are different than the constant things everyone is saying on KZbin. Also nice design work and good luck in your career.

[@djhaulix1581]

Its an very informative and inspiring video for me. I am a learning graphic designer and thinking about the steps that you have gone through to make these type of projects or brand identity is brilliant. You seriously have an lots of exposure in your life right.

[@thanhtruchuynhnnguyen4382]

Hi Dena. I glad to find another female graphic designer to share tutorial and helpful tips like you on KZbin, and also a Vietnamese, I'm so proud of you. As a graphic design student in Vietnam (because graphic design is a new major in Vietnam, so many of the universities in here don't have the proper knowledge of graphic design), I learn so many design skills and knowledges on KZbin. Thank you for sharing this tips about portfolio and many helpful contents ❤️❤️❤️

[@dungphan-xt6oi]

I’m getting into my design degree, yet im so encouraged just look at your portfolio. I personally really appreciate your tips and your KZbin channel ❤❤

[@napostrophen]

Definitely thought of some new tweaks to do on my portfolio that I loved from your video. Will be very helpful building my portfolio for my Portfolio Development class as I get ready to graduate this year😁

[@tanzhenxing2909]

Thanks for sharing! As a graphic design student this really helps me to learn so much more about building a good portfolio!

[@melxviera6936]

I really love your vibe, your soft voice is like PERFECT MOOD.

[@anotherdeadgirl.mp3]

Your design projects are so amazing and unique! It's really inspiring tbh. As a mass communication student who wants to pursue a degree in graphic design soon, your videos have taught me a lot about what graphic design students usually do, all of these tips about portfolio and etc. Really appreciate it! ❤️

[@DenaNguyen]

Thank you so much :) I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@sandeepsahu8743]

Don't pursue graphic design. These people just selling themselves to make living. Just showing fancy stuff to lure students to watch their content. Reality is really opposite. You will die with frustration you will get in graphic design. There is no scope in near future. Rather go with UI UX. It's more customer centric rather than posting no sense design. Consider this option.

[@user-kd3hn6em4e]

Impressive and helpful. Actually i was having trouble of how to showcase my portfolio for my designs and creativity. This really helps a lot. Thank you so much ma'am. Truly appreciated.

[@georgesaunders3532]

This is some amazing work. One of the best presented portfolios I've seen.

[@serenabooth7884]

Thankyou for this video, it gave me some idea of how to recreate my current portfolio. In my last year of uni I was feeling overwhelmed and my creativity just seemed to halt, as result my portfolio was just bland and static. You’ve inspired me to give it another go.

[@turtles717]

As a sophomore taking multimedia arts and wants to pursue graphic design. thank you! this helps a lot!!
