Awesome student online graphic design portfolios

A portfolio is your professional interface to the world. Separate from your social media profiles, which might be more snippets of work in progress or private narratives. Your portfolio is a document of your current thinking and production skills. Your portfolio should communicate to the professional world your work interests, passion for design, and technical and conceptual skills. Your portfolio should be online and accessible remotely.

Often the presentation of a portfolio project will go far beyond a snapshot of the design. A project will be explored from many different angles, using different media and formats. It will be examined in multiple contexts, and display how the project solves a particular problem. The presentation will explore how the project functions in the field. Concept development, design thinking, and problem-solving are often also explored and presented in a portfolio piece.

Here are some examples of excellent portfolios by recent graduates.
