Building a Portfolio That Gets You Hired
Clients and employers hire based on your portfolio, not your certificate. Aim to build at least 8–10 varied pieces — a logo project, a social media campaign mockup, a poster/flyer design, and a packaging concept — before you start applying or pitching clients.
Platforms like Behance and Instagram are commonly used by Tamil Nadu-based designers to showcase work and attract freelance clients.
