Responsive layouts for Adobe Portfolio — the foundations for creating your own unique website

Project

Responsive layouts (themes/templates) for Adobe Portfolio, a website creator specifically for creatives. We needed to design a small selection of layouts to cover a range of creative fields, with different placements of elements — all intended to be a solid foundation, for the user to select at sign up, populate with projects, customise and make their own.

Curation

We searched through Behance to find the best creatives to suit each layout, to be used in all product marketing and to create a live demo site to present each layout. We also needed a naming convention for all the layouts, that was scalable. We loved the idea of naming the layouts after Behance creatives — it typifies what Behance is all about.
