A user is confused about how to categorize their design portfolio work and is seeking advice on how to structure it effectively. They want to know what elements determine a project's category and how to organize it for clarity.
I’m currently organizing my design portfolio and I’m a bit confused about how to properly categorize some of my work. There are many subdivisions of design like branding, poster design, social media design, packaging, and print design, and sometimes a single project can overlap multiple categories. So I’m wondering: • How do designers decide which category a project belongs to? • What specific elements in a design determine its category? • Is it better to organize a portfolio by design type (poster, logo, packaging) or by project/brand? I want my portfolio to feel clear and professional, but I’m not sure what the best structure is. Would love to hear how other designers approach this.
