How to make an awesome Behance presentation?

Presentations are an awesome way to show off your recent projects. You want to make a good first impression, right? In this article, we will point out the key aspects you should focus on while creating your project. For the inspiration purposes, we prepared for you examples of our solutions. Feel free to get some inspiration!

Let's get started!

Describe the process

Show everyone how you did it. It's good to answer the following questions:

What was the task?

What targets did you want to achieve?

What fonts did you use and why?

At this stage, don't forget about making use of the brand book - you are displaying the project you have already done. Don't make changes to it. Talking about the design, use screenshots of your project. Remember about app platforms. Show the final effect on a desktop, mobile, and a tablet.

When someone watches your presentation, you don't want them to feel like "I've seen it all before". If you want to make your presentation look professional, don't use popular and well-used mockups. This rule applies to you especially when you become a more and more advanced designer. Show off your skills!

"No" for using more than two different fonts. Using the proper spacing. Picking the right font colors and more. These are little details that make a difference in when you make a Behance presentation. I won't focus on every single aspect of typography rules because we already have a guide with tips and useful tools to approach this issue. Grab a link !

Add a pinch of your ideas

Of course, the client is the one who sets the rules for how the application or website design should be. However, it doesn't mean that you can't add new interesting elements to the Behance presentation. The background gives you a room for maneuver.

Let's suppose you're preparing a drone app presentation. Think of using a drone animation, beautiful aerial photos etc.

Remember that presentation is not for the client but for your Behance promotion purposes. You can do some tweaks to display the project in an attractive way.

Call to action

At the end of your Behance presentation, it's worth convincing the viewer to give you a thumb up. Use your creativity to intrigue person behind the screen!

When is the best time to post on Behance?

This piece of advice is not directly related to the subject on how to make a Behance presentation. However, it's good to keep the good timing on Behance, no matter if you post a presentation or just a quick shot.

What is the first thing I and many other Designers do in the morning? We all check the Internet for inspirations. Dribbble, Pinterest and of course Behance. When you post your work around 9-10 AM (my time zone is UTC+01:00), there is a greater chance that people will notice and appreciate your work. Try to avoid posting Behance projects in the evening or on the weekends. This is the time when your recipients are less active on Behance.

Behance promotion

So you have already done the presentation. Is this the end of guide on how to make a Behance presentation? Nope! Now it's the highest time for Behance promotion. Designers post thousands of projects daily, so the probability that your work will break through is low. Even if it's outstanding.

We have already done a guide on increasing the count of views and followers by small tweaks done daily. Using them allowed us to gain 20 thousand new project views in 3 months. They do magic! To learn more ways of Behance promotion go here .

That's all for today. We hope that now you know how to make a Behance presentation that is going to gain appreciation from the viewers.

6 Steps to Creating a Knockout Behance Portfolio

Behance is the most popular website for creatives to show off their work. Naturally, showcasing your portfolio on a site like Behance is one of the most effective ways to promote your skills and talent. There are many approaches toward creating a portfolio on Behance. The ‘boring’ way is to simply insert pieces of your work on a solid background. The exciting way is to design all your portfolio pieces together into a single, harmonious design.

Here are a couple of fully designed portfolio page examples from Wrecking Ball:

Awww yeah! Pretty cool, huh? Are you interested in taking your Behance portfolios to the next level? This article we will give tips on how to make a knockout portfolio that gets you noticed.

1. Select your best work

Your Behance portfolio is most effective as a series of projects: one project per Behance page. If you don’t have much work to show, you could bundle many projects into a single Behance page. A Behance page shouldn’t display all of your work. It’s best to keep it short and sweet, selecting only your best pieces. We recommend selecting, at least, five pieces for a single Behance page.

Remember, it’s better to have a portfolio where you show a few of your best projects that are stunning. Showing many average projects would not be as attractive. The quality of your portfolio is only as good as your weakest project.

2. Share a backstory, complemented by a theme

Deep dive into your work and think about how you will present it. People are drawn to stories. Developing a brief backstory for your project will pull your viewers in. Talk about your story from the initial concept to early sketches, to the finished product. Start your story by showing the finished piece first, followed by your progress which led you to it.

Think about the style and general look and feel of your project to come up with a design for the layout. The design elements you come up with should compliment and enhance your project. Take a closer look at Wrecking Ball’s TWC onDemand project for an example:

Notice how artwork featured in the Adobe Inspire Digital Magazine is used as a decorative background.

3. Flaunt the medium

Did you make a website? Then show it on a desktop, tablet, and smartphone. Did you make an app? Show it on its target device. Did you make a magazine? Then show people reading it. Emphasize the medium for the intended work. If possible, take pictures of people interacting with it. Otherwise, Google around for free templates where you can easily insert your work for a nice presentation. Here’s a collection of free tablet/smartphone templates .

4. Keep it simple

The design of your Behance page needs to be simple. We can’t stress the KISS principle enough. Avoid the temptation to make an elaborate design to push for a wow factor. Simplicity pushes your work to the surface, where it should be. Pick one font, pick a color scheme , and stick to it; keep the style consistent.

5. Craft a bio

An important part of your Behance portfolio is your Behance profile. Fill in your profile’s description with your story. Ask yourself, what’s your point of view? What’s your unique perspective on the creative world? What led you to develop this perspective? Answering these questions will help you zero in on your passion. Passion is infectious; putting it into words will make you shine.

6. Keep your Behance gallery fresh

Behance is a large, active community. Posting just once gets you ignored. Those who post on a regular basis attract an audience. Popularity is measured by likes and comments. Your posts on Behance become more reputable when you consistently attract engagement. Popularity has a snowball effect which increases the number of likes/comments. As you create new and better work, make sure you make additions to showcase your latest projects, but with the same focus on careful curation.
