Question

Have an Adobe Portfolio Site? [DUPLICATE LOCKED]

One great thing about Behance users is that we have a strong sense of community. Thus, with the launch of Adobe Portfolio I thought it would be interesting for us to share links.

Reason being... by sharing links we can learn how to set up interesting sites. This exchange is also good because if we see an artist that we like we can establish a contact with them. Networking is key to the success of artists.... it can lead to collaborations, new jobs and so much more. You may even discover other artists in your area that you have round table discussions with. Plus you never know when or where your talents will be discovered!

Also if you see a site that was created and have a question on how they set something up.... then ask the creator. That is the best source to learn how to make your Adobe Portfolio shine!

So here is my link.... I look forward to seeing the pages that others have created as well!

I know that disabling the right click does not solve the problem. But it does help. I can already tell you I can download the images on my cell phone. I just hold on the image and I can save it.

There is no fool proof way to keep your work or even ideas safe. In fact, I had a friend create a similar project to one of mine, except with modifications. It happens. Once you put your work on the net the idea can easily be swiped. Luckily for the most part there is a collective of artists who try to watch out for each other and report it to each other when this happens.

Watermarking is also an option. But when showing your work to an ad agency or when applying for a job... having a big watermark does not really help. If you lower the resolution to where it looks like crap then hiring managers and potential clients will think you are producing really poor work too. Again no fool proof answer. We deal with the problems the way we each want to.

I do not see how enabling the right click option on a portfolio can really hinder someone. It would be different if it were any other site. But a portfolio I see no problem disabling the right click. I mean you are there only to view the portfolio... and should not be doing anything else. My site for example is for hiring managers and clients... most of whom do not use more advanced browser options. If if were anything other than a portfolio site then I would probably not disable it. If the content were meant to be shared and downloaded then also I would not disable it. The other thing is regardless if you do disable it...... Behance still has the right click built-in. So you still have your projects open to download.

With that being said... there are flaws in every site and every platform. You just have to find the best sites that work best to promote your work. Adobe Portfolio is fairly easy for the most part and does not need a big explanation. For those who are not coding or doing anything to extravagant in their portfolio then is great solution.

But the idea of this thread is simply to share links.... discover each other's work and connect. Hope we do not stray to far from that.

I didn't want anybody to get the wrong idea that just b/c Portfolio offers a disable right-click option that it's of any value. Obviously, you understand that . But many other people don't.

You should not make those assumptions. If you've ever used assistive web technologies, you quickly understand the problems that disabling right-click can cause for people. We have a saying in web development, "Don't mess with people's browsers."

Nancy... I would ask Behance directly. They will respond in 1 to 2 days. They are great about answering questions and solving problems.

Brad great site..... I think it is interesting how various people can set up their site differently using Adobe Portfolio. Yes, there are constraints to it. But with Behance there has always been constraint. For me Adobe Portfolio is great.... because I am not a coder and could not set up a Portfolio Site on my own. Granted yes maybe using Word Press or another site maybe. Wix I was not into.... I know they made changes.... but still was not the best route.

But if you are using any site that you did not build you are going to run into constraints. I have a lot of tweaks I have to do to my site still, but overall I like the look. Also one thing you do get with Adobe Portfolio is support from Behance. If you run into an issue usually it only takes one or two business days before they respond. If you build your own site you do not get that... and if you use another site produced by another company you probably will not get that. So that is an added bonus..... their team genuinely cares about their users.

Still hope other people share their links... because it is fun to see how others utilize the platform.

Portfolio is still light years away from being a valuable tool. Just way too limiting.

But here is mine anyways Stage Play Posters Brad Lawryk

Nice site, Brad. I'm still sorting out what/whether to use Dreamweaver, Muse, Portfolio, or just Wordpress ... or ... do they mix at all?

SO many options and I just don't have the time to test them all personally.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

I think it really comes down to need. That link was me trying out Portfolio (found it to limiting). The only thing it has going for it is the Behance integration. But it is simple enough to link to your Behance site from any site.

I am currently redoing my personal portfolio site in Dreamweaver. Simply because that is the tool I use everyday in my real job. I despise Wordpress and all it's baggage but it is a good option for some people. My personal thoughts for someone that does not know or care to know code is to use Muse. A million times better than Portfolio and very easy to use and get great results.

So if you know code then Dreamweaver is the way to go, if not then Muse is the way to go. Wordpress and Portfolio don't even come close.
