How to make digital portfolio

1 Shortlist and compile the design work.
2 Organise the content of design work as per the category/theme.
3 Include technical drawings- Add technical drawings or flats to your portfolio that display your understanding
of garment construction, and attention to detail. These drawings provide a clear visual representation of
your designs and how they may look when you construct them. For example, include front and back views
of a garment with detailed annotations of seams, fabric choices and closures. You can create the technical
drawings using softwares like Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Fashion Studio etc. and edit the images using
Adobe Photoshop. You can digitize your manual technical drawings by scanning the previously drawn
images in any format such as jpeg, png etc.
4 Show your design process - Demonstrate your creative process by including mood boards, fabric swatches
and inspiration images. This content helps understand how you develop your ideas and provides insight
into your thought process. For example, showcase a mood board featuring images that inspired a particular
collection, followed by fabric samples and final designs.
5 Use high quality photographs or scanned images.
6 Use your own distinctive style of presentation.
