Get Wired!

If you're looking to promote yourself on the internet, then look no further. I've researched and found some online resources that can help you get your name out there.

1. FormFiftyFive (www.formfiftyfive.com)


The FFF team scours the web to collect the best designs. There's tons of features on the site with great interaction and community building. Not to be missed!

2. Jotta (www.jotta.com)


Features blogs, forums, education and empolyment. There's plenty of space to upload your portfolio. You can browse through others work and use it as a business platform.

3. Behance (www.behance.net)


My favourite. Behance provides a single point of contact for anyone interested in any format of design. The talent you find here is unbelievable.

4. CarbonMade (www.carbonmade.com)


This is another portfolio host like Behance and is one of the main creative talent pools on the web. There's designs across all disciplines.

5. EveryCreative (www.everycreative.com)


A brilliant online resource for networking. Through the site you can present your portfolio and gain feedback and advice from industry professionals.

Which is the best out of the lot you ask?

My favourite has to be Behance, hands down! It has everything. You can network, pitch, gain feedback, collaborate and present all on this site. Plus your work actually looks great on the site too! I have already been asked for design work through Behance and the manner in which it is set up is fantastic. Every designer should have their portfolio on this site!
