today we're going to have a look at
behance
and how it allows you to create projects
to help showcase all your wonderful work
to the wider creative community
additionally it allows you to get
inspiration
create mood boards for different
projects and watch other people do
walkthroughs of their work
as well so be hands can be accessed
through your creative cloud desktop
application
but it is a web app and there is a quick
resource link down the bottom on the
left
once in it's good to log in with your
profile so that way your photoshop and
lightroom can also link in as well
so here you can actually see all the
projects plus the live feeds and
categories at the top
so the projects i've created one on the
left
and later on i'm going to show you how
easy these are to create now a project
is a collection of your work and this
can be showcased to everyone on behance
another great thing is you can create
mood boards now a mood board can be a
collection of other people's
work that can help inspire you
additionally this will also show you
tools that people have used now moving
over to discover
these are curated collections that can
help inspire you as well so the best of
behance has some amazing collections
as you can see as a quick example here
again you can like this
you can add this to mood boards and you
can actually see what tools they've also
used to create this work
now in the discover section they have
broken this down into numerous
categories as well as you can see up the
top one thing that i do like to point
out
is the creative challenges is amazing
and again it's a good way to actually up
skill yourself as well
so you can follow this but you can also
drill down and follow
specific categories if you want to now
jumping into the live section
this shows people walking through some
of their creative processes
really great way to get inspiration also
up skill yourself
you can see here it's broken down into
different categories you can subscribe
to it but there's also a chrome
extension that you can add that will
notify you
when a new live event is happening after
that we have our profile which features
all our work
our mood boards appreciations even
insights to how many people have viewed
our work
now moving over to mood boards here you
can see some of the collections i've
already made
as well as some that i've already liked
and appreciated and added into a mood
board just for inspiration for those who
i want to
again you can follow these people and
whenever they update that it will be
notified as well
another great thing is they have a job
board you can post jobs you can find
jobs
and people can look at your portfolio to
add you to jobs as well
following that you got 99 new conference
amazing spot for inspiration
workshops and events now let's move on
to how you create a project
now you can actually see the simple
steps that we can go through here
but there's a few things i want to
highlight so the behance curators
are looking for well-crafted work if the
if your work
is well crafted then it's going to
filter up to the top now make sure you
use about 6 to 15 images
in your projects also make sure they're
large with no watermarks
100 make sure your work is polished
now a well-crafted job is so much more
beneficial and will definitely filter up
on our search a great cover image is
also paramount because this is going to
stand out
and it's going to bring everyone in to
look at your project on top
also take time in categorizing your work
make sure you filter out
all the fields that are relevant to this
project you can add up to three
different creative fields
this is also going to help categorize
where it will sit within the hands
take your time in tagging the
information so that way again the right
tags will help filter up
and that way when people are searching
they will find your your job
or your project also don't forget to add
in your team members
and also take your time with the project
tags again you can add up to 10
different tags
it only increases the odds of you being
searched
after that's published you can see here
that we can also promote this on
facebook twitter
pinterest and linkedin so again that's a
quick overview
of behance but it's amazing way to
promote your own work but also get
inspiration with mood boards and the
live feeds as well
so once again i hope you find that
really useful and i look forward to
seeing all your work
please leave your feedback or anything
else that you would love for us to
showcase
thank you
