How to Make a Portfolio
Valerie Atkisson/ArtBistro
How Do I Create a Portfolio?
Go to Portfolios. Click on Go to My Portfolios. Click on Create New Gallery. Name the Album in the space provided. Select a category. Check public or private. Fill in description. Click Continue
NOTE: By selecting descriptive titles for your portfolio, you make it easier for someone to find your images when they search the site for art work. For example: Paintings, Sculpture, or Graphic Design.
NOTE: If you load your art images into the Profile Folder and not a new album, you will not receive credit for loading photos in your reputation score.
How to Upload Images into the Portfolio.
Click on Upload Images to this Gallery. Click on Browse. select image(s) to upload. Click Continue. Enter Title and Description of work. This is also a good place to put the year made, dimensions and the medium. Click Continue.
NOTE: Only upload jpg files under 2 MB. I would recommend loading small size files 1 MB or smaller. This will make it hard for someone to print your work out.
My Images are square and out of proportion!
Don’t be fooled. Those are the thumbnails. If you click on them they go to the original size and proportion, then you can click on the arrows to the right or left and browse through the portfolio.
How can making a portfolio help me?
- People searching the site for art, illustrations, fashion design, etc. will be able to contact you.
- You will receive feedback on your work from friends and ArtBistro members.
- You can post the link to your portfolio in the discussions forum
- It is a good idea to send a personal message to the artist who’s work you rate or comment on. That way they will be able to respond and rate and comment on your work too.
Once your images are loaded and you have created a paragraph bio in your profile, submit it be considered for the monthly ArtBistro Art Gallery or the ArtBistro Design Gallery. Then you work will also be featured on the home page.

Hey newbies, dont be afraid to share some of your work. I was hesitant at first to but have found that this is a great site to share and gain feedback. Its not hard to make a profile so please do and enjoy the benifits of networking. And you never know, you just might land that dream job faster than you think.

I uploaded 10 images to a portfolio and asked a member to check it out. They say that they can only see white boxes where my photos are. I can see them fine. I have clicked Public on for viewing, too. Also, when I uploaded the photos originally I noticed that there were two copies of each, so I deleted one of each from the portfolio. Is this why they are not viewable to others?

Alright... I am totally new to this page and I dont know if this could be a skam or not... I just dont want people taking my pictures and copyrighting them and saying they are theirs. So I am a little hesitant to put my pictures on here. So does anyone know what I should do?
