    How To List Things?

    Hey everyone,

    I offer graphic and web design services. In my portfolio, I have them sorted as general, so you can view all my projects at once.

    When a client has asked for a logo and a website, what would you lead with? I keep getting torn between having all the logos as the thumbnail images, and then all the projects inside, but then, I didn't do all the logos.

    Confused :icon_Wall:

    Logo and branding first. Can't design a website to a brand that doesn't exist yet.

    What about when all I've been tasked with is a website and a small header for it?
    Or a quick freshen of an old logo?

    Agreed ^ Show the logo/brand first then you can move onto how you have used the logo for stationary, web design etc..

    If you've got them all sorted in one menu I'd do it like this.

    For projects that you've done logo/branding and website, use the logo for thumbnail. Then the website inside it. Are you going to put tags underneath each image? Branding/ Website etc..?

    For projects that you've designed a website, plus banners, use a thumbnail of the site, with the banners inside it.

    I always order things like this.

    Logo/branding, stationary, website, print.

    No bother, so the Tasty Treats, even thought it was just some kerning and a colour change, would you use the logo for the thumbnail?

    Yeah. That's all, it's a typeface.

    Doesn't really matter, you've still worked on the brand, so use a thumbnail of the brand.
