Share updates on your personal projects occasionally and post completed work on your social media accounts.
Take time to study the designs and portfolios of graphic designers you admire. Pay attention to how they tell their story and present their work.
Create a portfolio showcasing 3-5 of your best projects, using a format you’re comfortable with, such as a PDF or a profile on Behance, which is a platform for sharing creative work.
