4+ Simple Tips To Expose As An Designer

I am always a crazy guy always designing stuffs using the Photoshop. Till last two years before i used photoshop only to produce the stuffs like logos, banner, button and other designing works. But once i realized that this is not the ultimate limit to use Photoshop for a freelancing and started to do a deep research in the term web designing and finally i came to understand that web designing differs with designers. Some use to manually code the web pages, some use to code the web pages from the existing scratchs, Some are used to the editors such as Dreamweaver, and others used to do the PSD to HTML conversions.

I was really surprised with the last one, because the PSD to HTML is nothing but the conversion of the Web pages created with Photoshop with more graphics and then slicing it using the Slice tool and coding those into a dynamics as well as static web pages which looks really awesome. So i took online tutorials to completely study this process and i want to share those tuts to my reader, Subscribers and other visitors of my site.

1.Your Web Identity

Your web identity has other elements such as the email address, website, avatar image, FaceBook page and Twitter account. These elements can be increaseed based on the new services that are added to the web every day, especially with the revolution of social media sites.

However, your website or portfolio is an important element for your business identity on the web. The design of your site and any logo will become part of your professional identity; that is why the overall design of your site is very important, because the first design that any clients or companies will come into contact and truly look at when visiting your site, is your site’s design itself.

In the following information you will find out what some of the important content, in your portfolio, is that most clients, companies, and other designers might want to know about you:

A brief introduction about who you are

Little words can make big changes; that is why it is important to add a brief introduction about your self. Just a few lines can help clients and companies get an overview about who you are before they dig into your full resume or portfolio.

This brief intro helps by introducing yourself to the visitors of your site while acting like a welcome message. This message will help to show your portfolio target, professional aims and your abilities as well. You can attach this introduction directly to the site homepage or in an internal “About me” page.

Your resume

Your resume will become the most vital piece of information about you; as any client or company will check this first before deciding if you are qualified for their job or not. It is important to attach your resume to your portfolio so clients can review it clearly and easily.

For example, you will want to show your resume in the site and provide a link to where they can download it in case the client would like to print it out for further review. Also it is a good idea to allow the downloading of your resume to be in multiple formats such as Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF.

Work samples

Here we come to the most important part of your portfolio website, the section that will house and include your work samples. In this part you will use the web capabilities to show off your designs to the clients, letting them see your skills and maximum capabilities. One thing to keep in mind when showcasing your work is that you should always present it in an uncluttered, clear, and easy to review manner..

Always make sure that your work samples are presented well and that the site visitor can view your samples in good quality and in good form. Do not forget to add in a description under each work sample; as most clients would like know which tools were used in each sample. By adding in a big thumbnail and other previews generates interest and attracts the visitors to check out each of your provided samples.

Your blog

A blog in your site is an important part as it gives a dynamic personal sense to your site. You can use this blog to share with the visitors your experiences with any new designs, any showcase studies for your work, and it allows you to fully interact with the audience.

You can use your blog to get feedback from the audience about your work while letting them switch from a viewer to a participant while your work is in the designing process. This will help with getting traffic to your site and subsequently new clients can see your site as well.

Your blog can connect your portfolio site with your profile in social media sites such as FaceBook and Twitter. Your friends can see frequent updates about your site and work, which will help to give you more visibility and the ability to communicate with more people which could possible turn into potential clients.

Make sure to link your blog with your social media sites by adding the FaceBook button, Twitter button and any other social media site you belong too, so that people can share your site on them as well.

Professional Services

Mention in your web portfolio the professional services that you can provide and information regarding how you can help the clients with their projects. Although your resume shows this information about you, most clients are looking for a more in depth explanation about the exact nature of the projects that you can handle.

You can specify the categories of projects and solutions that you can provide for clients and what your experience is in these categories in great details.

Contact information

Your contact information is the way that clients and other designers will be able to reach you. The best way to cover all angles of contact is to offer and provide a multitude of ways and methods where your visitors can contact you.

You can use a contact form which makes it easy to people to contact you with just a few simple steps. In addition to a contact form, you will want to add in your email address, Telephone number, Fax number, Twitter account and Facebook account.

2. Creating a web presence

By finishing your web portfolio, you are now able to spread the word about yourself and the services you can provide. The first step is to add your site every where that you can, you can also add your site in your email signature and in your profiles on social media sites. This will start to flow traffic to your site and attract people to visit your professional website or portfolio.

The second step is to submit your site into multiple directories and designers’ communities to help get exposure from the community and from other clients. Many clients are looking for designers from within the design community. By listing your site there, it will help in getting you introduced to the design community and clients get the ability to see your work there as well.

Having your own portfolio does not mean that you do not have to add your work elsewhere. When you add your work in the different communities for designers to network at such as DeviantArt and Behance, people who visit your pages on these sites can go to your website or portfolio and read more about you and your services.

3. Market Your Skills

There are mainly two methods when it comes to finding jobs and projects over the internet. The first method is through direct contact with companies by emailing them about your services and what you are able to provide to them. The second method is to list your site and services in recruiting and freelance sites.

The first method is good as it creates direct contact with the companies and creates a professional relation with each company. Although the companies my not need your services at the time of contact; they will most likely hold onto your email in case of a future need, but only if you have managed to impress them with the initial contact. As long as you are professional and serious with your contact, they will take it just as professionally and seriously and archive it for any possible needs in the unforeseen future.

The good advantage to this method is that you do not have other competitors; it is a one-on-one relationship that can be developed to a stronger better business relationship.

The second method is to search for listed jobs in the recruiting and freelance sites. The advantage of this method is that the companies that list their jobs are looking for people to fill their open positions right away. This method tends to be faster than the first method in being able to get projects.

4. Recruiting sites

The jobs listed in recruiting sites are mostly for on site jobs such as full time jobs, part time jobs and contract positions. However most of the jobs posted on them will need to you to actually go to the company or relocate closer to the job in order to work for the applied company.

For Example
