Another portfolio idea: Title cards for your favourite movies/short films/music videos/tv shows! You could even experiment with motion graphics for a short opening credits scene

[@lanacoreldr]

A quick one I love is design a simple postage stamp for your hometown or cities you've visited

[@isaacgomez532]

Project Idea: Cover artwork! or branding for a Musician's/Band's latest album

[@Royce9019]

Thank you for this ... I am just starting my journey as a graphic designer and was totally clueless what to add in my portfolio. Great timing for this video I must say.

[@PaolaKassa]

I’m happy to help☺️

[@Sawanstyles]

thanks for your great ideas. My dream project is to make amazing poster for my Town's street food and also do photo of beautiful sellers but I can't work because i don't have a good mobile or camera but I'm working to be financially stable and in future will share with you ❤☺️

[@cappuccino_please]

One question: Images? Where to get them? Let's say an ad campaign for a fashion company, as you mentioned. Where would you get pictures from? You can't use from their website, because pictures are a main part of a campaign and at this point, you just copy the old campaigns. Also you can't use their pictures on your own website portfolio.

[@ceekachu]

Stock images help! I utilize the stock images available through Canva, both free and pro options are great.

[@Kayla-ep5gm]

pexels is a great resource! And yes, that's with two Es, no I :)

[@Yashviiiii06]

Pixabay has a good variety picture

[@aloealice]

"Dupe" photos is a new site, copyright free images and videos in Pinterest or Instagram reel/story style.

[@Fact_Sphere-y8k]

You can use websites like pexels, pinterest, unsplash etc. Personally i use pexels because here you can easily get your desired high quality pics

[@vidform]

Very good ideas. Thank you.

[@comfysofi]

thank you for this video! An idea that maybe for someone who is more illustration centered could be tarot cards! or going for a new theme of cards for the game magic! you could play with the name of the tarot cards, also play with the description on each magic card, the colors, etc. Also making a stationary branding could be really fun! from making sticky notes, or envelopes, etc.

[@fatimahhussaind]

I love this!

[@0llar]

Web Designer here and I'm rebuilding my portfolio. Great ideas! I'm definitely taking the sunglasses project one, never thought about it for some reason 😁

[@birdiexoxo]

Oh I love that tour guide idea! Would love to put something together for my hometown because we kind of suck marketing-wise lol Thank you! You definitely got me thinking!

[@konohoa8473]

watched a couple of your videos and now i feel so inspired. thank you for your amazing ideas and advices !!

[@Ryan-hy9uo]

Love these ideas! Thanks for the inspiration 😄

[@jacobmougharbel3092]

Thank you :) I'm a 3D artist and I've been working on my 3D portfolio for ages but my Graphic Design one has been collecting dust cause I didnt know what to exactly make. Many thanks!

[@jamesbruce9171]

Currently working on my graphic design final project and this video has given me so many fresh ideas!

[@Kainaatarora_3]

Thankyou so much Paola. Thank God I stumbled upon your video, I feel so much better and have clarity on how I could showcase my stuff. Bless you!

[@CareyDigital]

All great ideas. I'll be doing the ones for social media design, that's one of my favourites to do but to stretch myself I'll explore the campaign design idea

[@Madlikedasha]

I really loved all the ideas, and especially the examples you chose to show, they’re really inspiring to create something similar or at least get started Collage is something that probably won’t be the 1st thing that comes to mind when making a portfolio but oh boy if it isn’t a refreshing idea esp given how much fun u can have with it Thank you, I might finally kick myself to start working on that portfolio 😂🖤

[@PaolaKassa]

awe I’m so glad you like my ideas!

[@isaacgomez532]

Thank you for this video! Would we be able to get a general breakdown of how you approach a branding project? I'm a beginner when it comes to big projects like these!

[@PaolaKassa]

I can do that! I also cover a lot in my branding project videos you can have a look ☺️

[@rdendelacruz4332]

Great Ideas! thank you paola 🙌

[@papajoshhy]

I want to be a graphic designer but i have no idea where to start, how to make the magazine but I want to learn and get better to build my experience.

[@hwkkoko9361]

That was helpful. Great video 🔥

[@chansokneen]

love this ,thank you✨✨

[@JakeMakesArt08]

Another Idea: Movie posters and music album covers, either variations of existing ones or for fake movies/bands. I’ve done this before and it’s really interesting trying to convey emotions and genres.

[@LuisGarcia-qi9eu]

thank you for the great ideas!

[@ShumaimFatima-hg6vu]

My dream project idea was a classical library with a modern touch

[@betul-vc5rk]

Paola giving away great ideas like that for free 😄

[@PaolaKassa]

🤭

[@kellyryan616]

Thank you for an helpful video! Question: For example I would like to do a magazine design, so what should I do with the magazine content? I can come up with photos related to magazine topics but have no idea about writing content. Should I use generator or write it myself? Let’s say it’s a fashion magazine.

[@PaolaKassa]

You can use a word generator or even placeholder text! No need to become a writer just for a design project haha☺️

[@varshinikirlampalli7885]

How awesome!

[@ft.dollyy]

loved it 💝

[@anshikajain5489]

I loveddd the ideas. I'm also wondering what the major tools or resources would be for designing mockups apart from photoshop and illustrator?

[@PaolaKassa]

most mockup sites will have photoshop files to download, so I’m actually not too sure about other apps!

[@EmmanuellaYu]

Can these be done on canva only?

[@1awrzoo]

Came as fast as I could!

[@PaolaKassa]

obsessed with u
