How to finish my portfolio by Al Abut

"I finally buckled down, redesigned my website and updated the portfolio section with more recent and relevant work, trimmed out all the old crap."

How I did it: I decided to go with a really simple approach - a single long scrolling page with case studies from three recent gigs. Once I figured out that would be easier for visitors to read and for me to build, the rest came together pretty quickly!

Lessons & tips:

Try to really think about what few pieces of work people need to see to gauge not just how good you are but what exactly you do (for example, trying to figure out if they're looking at a web designer or web/print designer or etc). It's the same advice as making a good resume - don't just dump everything you've ever done!
