Resource of the Week

Master Adobe Portfolio

"There were things I didn’t even know you could do, like setting the text styles and making columns. I feel more confident making my portfolio now!" – Jennifer S

This is a recent review from my Mastering Adobe Portfolio Mini Course!

Out of the 108 portfolio reviews I completed in the last 4 months, 27% used Adobe Portfolio. It's free with Adobe CC, but many designers underutilize its features. This mini-course helps you:

1. Use text styles for easy formatting

2. Create multiple column layouts for project pages

3. Add rich-media elements like videos and forms

4. Customize your selected theme

5. And much more!

My portfolio website has helped me win roles and clients, and I want the same for you.

Something Gorgeous

Head Sculptures by EMXW

Some days I feel like my brain is filled with spaghetti and these sculptures by Edwige Massart and Xavier Wynn capture exactly that. They create skull sculptures from found objects like headache pills and seashells. Each piece is playful, detailed, and visually captivating.

I love how the objects vary per sculpture, creating a complete series. They remind me of the game Operation.

One Lesson

We All Start as Caterpillars

A caterpillar envies butterflies, dreaming of flying. A chrysalis encourages it to trust its transformation. Eventually, a butterfly emerges, and the caterpillar begins weaving its own cocoon, realizing its potential.

The Lesson: No matter our beginnings, we hold talents ready to blossom. With patience and faith, we can achieve more than imagined.
