How to use PowerPoint to create a portfolio

november 14, 2023

by Microsoft Create team

A portfolio is an opportunity to put your best foot forward. Whether you’re applying to a creative role, beginning a new chapter in your education, or are looking to showcase your talents, it is important to present your experiences in an eye-catching way that will attract notice. Microsoft PowerPoint is a robust tool that emphasizes the visual, so it makes for a fitting platform to showcase your finest work. Think of your portfolio like a visual resume, and with dozens of professionally designed PowerPoint templates , Pinterest templates , and social media templates to choose from and personalize, you can find the perfect way to present what you’ve done.

Tell your story

Every portfolio tells a story—whether it’s chronological and starting from your earliest work, or thematic and illustrating the myriad projects you may have worked on over the course of many years. Depending on the roles you’re applying for, you might need a different template to convey your career’s path.

For example, if you’re applying to an art school, you can show the trajectory of how you have grown as an artist and gained experience from your various roles. If you are creating an image-heavy portfolio, you can denote your experiences with filler slides, in order to separate the different eras in your history. When choosing images, it’s better to lean on larger-sized images, which you can then crop or resize within PowerPoint.

Conversely, if you are applying for a technical role, you can outline the different roles you have held, and expand on your specific parts in detail. Here, your PowerPoint portfolio adheres closely to the format of a resume , where your portfolio can be broken up into education, experience, skills, training, and other common resume sections. Screenshots of your online work also make for tangible examples of your work that elevate an otherwise staid list of titles and links.

Present a visual narrative

PowerPoint templates make for an attractive, easily customizable starting point to build a portfolio. Different templates emphasize images over text or bullet points—one of the ways that PowerPoint portfolios are versatile enough to be tailored to your creativity. Because PowerPoint can hold plenty of slides, you won’t be limited by page lengths such as in a traditional resume.

Most people are visual learners, and a portfolio is a way for people to learn about you and your work. Therefore, the principles of good design come into play: where your audience will draw their visual attention, and what they see first, will matter when creating slides with biographical details or slides that prominently feature images.

Include a compelling biography

Starting with your title page, place your name in a large, eye-catching font. Then, add a profile picture—especially one that shows you in your best light. This will go alongside your biographical details, which can be at the front of a portfolio, to serve as an introduction, or near the end, if you want to introduce your work first and let it speak for itself.

Here are key elements in writing a bio that is clear, concise, and easy to read by your audience:

The key to a successful portfolio is careful consideration of the details that comprise your personal and professional life. Staying organized can save you a lot of time or confusion when creating your portfolio. Lastly, a portfolio offers more room and opportunities to let your personality shine through, especially compared to a resume or job board posting. By starting with the right PowerPoint portfolio template , you can begin to put your passions on display and find your ideal audience.

About the Portfolio Presentation Template

The Portfolio Presentation Template is a framework for showcasing your visual design work. It allows designers to structure their portfolio presentations in an engaging and visually-appealing way. 

Using our pre-existing slides, you can add your own designs and plans to the template. Customize the layout, add new slides, and do whatever else you need to create the perfect presentation to represent your portfolio of work. 

What is a portfolio presentation? 

A portfolio presentation allows designers to present a selection of their work. It's helpful in two different scenarios:

For interviews: A portfolio presentation is often used as part of the interview process for a designer role (or other creative jobs). It’s a chance to showcase your best work and convince the hiring team that you’re the right fit for the job. 

To present new ideas: Product designers can also use this presentation to introduce new design ideas to their teams. It’s all about showing the audience what they’ve created, why they think it’ll be successful, and how it’ll impact their work. 

No matter your reason for delivering a portfolio presentation, you’ll always need to make sure your designs are clear. You need to convey your point so your audience understands the design and why it’s important. 

This is where using a Portfolio Presentation Template is helpful. With our ready-made structure, you can make sure your presentation is clear, concise, and displays all the key information. And if you want to cover additional information, you can easily add new slides. 

What should you include in a portfolio presentation? 

When delivering a portfolio presentation in an interview, here’s what you’ll need to cover: 

Introduce yourself and what you’ll cover in the presentation

Your role in each design project

The challenges you faced (and how you overcame them)

Your design process (including UX methods, UI, and any design decisions you made throughout the process) 

The end result of each design project

What you learned from the design project and how it’ll help you with the rest of your design career

If you’re presenting a new idea to your design team, your presentation will also cover the following information:

What your new design is

How it’ll impact customers 

How the new design will help the business grow

At the end of your presentation, whether it’s part of an interview or to present a new idea, you’ll also allow time for questions and a discussion.

How to use the Portfolio Presentation Template

Our digital workspace is the perfect canvas for planning and creating your portfolio presentation. You can jot down notes and ideas and keep all your key designs in one location. 

When you’re ready to pull all your information into a presentation, start by selecting this Design Portfolio Template. It’s free and easy to use, meaning you can start using it immediately. Then, follow these steps to create the perfect presentation. 

Step 1: Choose your favorite design projects

If you’re preparing for an interview, start by choosing which design projects you want to showcase and why. 

Step 2: Add the designs to the template

When you know what designs you want to talk about, you can add them to the template. It’s easy to upload files and images to your presentation — you can simply drag and drop them from your desktop to the slide deck. 

Step 3: Customize the presentation deck

Start by adding new slides and changing the order to figure out what information you want to include. Our template is fully customizable, so you can create the perfect presentation structure. 

Step 4: Add supporting information

When you’ve finished formatting your presentation, you can add the supporting information. For example, if you want to show your design team some key customer insights, you can add a chart to display your findings. Similarly, if you want to show a hiring manager the results of your previous design projects, you can add this information to back up the success of your work. 

Step 5: Do a run-through

Check that everything is in order before you deliver the presentation. You can easily share the presentation with colleagues, friends, or family members to get feedback. Then, make any last-minute changes before you give the presentation. 

Step 6: Deliver the presentation

Use presentation mode to jump into full-screen and deliver the presentation to your audience. You can use the arrow keys to move through the presentation.

Top tips for delivering a successful portfolio presentation

The way you deliver your presentation can impact the way your audience perceives the information. Here are some tips for making sure you deliver your presentation as successfully as possible. 

Prepare everything in advance. Your presentation needs to be well-prepared. If it’s not, your audience will know, which won’t give a good impression. This is where using Miro’s Portfolio Presentation Template can be helpful. With our ready-made templates, you can make sure to cover all your bases. 

Pay attention to detail. What you include in your presentation (and how it’s structured) says a lot about your organizational skills and your work ethic. Be sure to be thorough with your presentation and make sure you cover all the necessary information. With Miro’s template, you can add as much detail as you need by customizing the placeholder text and adding new content. 

Be selective. If you’re delivering the presentation as part of an interview, you’ll have a timeframe to work with. To make sure you don’t go over your allotted time, pick a couple of your best projects and spend time explaining them in detail. Don’t try to cover too much ground and spread yourself too thin. Let your presentation skills shine through while you go into detail on your favorite projects. 

How long should a portfolio presentation be?

It varies depending on the designs you want to show and the reason you’re delivering the presentation. If it’s in an interview, you’ll probably have an allotted time frame. If it’s for your work colleagues, aim for within an hour and allow time for brainstorming.

Tips for Creating an Impressive Graphic Design Portfolio

Learn how to create a graphic design portfolio to present to prospective employers and admissions officials that showcases your skills as a graphic designer.

A graphic design portfolio highlights your best and most relevant material from school or work, depending on your career stage. A compelling graphic design portfolio can help you stand out from the competition when applying to jobs, projects, or colleges, and is an important resource for making a good impression on potential employers or admission officers.

What are graphic design portfolios?

A graphic design portfolio is a collection of a graphic designer’s best work to show prospective clients, employers, or college admission representatives. Portfolios should include a concisely written introduction that provides brief context on the designer and included material. 

Some portfolios highlight three to five samples as case studies. This approach allows designers to provide more details about how they approached the projects from start to finish. Testimonials from clients or teachers can offer insight into their experiences working with you.

Uses for graphic design portfolios

There are a number of ways you can use your graphic design portfolio to achieve career or personal goals:

Show employers and potential clients your best work.

Document the impact of your designs, such as increased social media engagement or brand awareness.

Complete an application for a Bachelor of Fine Arts or a Master of Fine Arts in graphic design.

Express your personality, passions, and vision.

Explore your creative potential.

Demonstrate your versatility and range of abilities as a designer.

Keep track of the projects you complete.

Note skill gaps and ways to build in-demand skills.

What types of work should go in a portfolio?

A thorough graphic design portfolio includes the following components:

Samples of your work that span multiple styles, media, and use cases. These might include motion graphics, original illustrations, animations, product design, web and UX design, ad campaign and social media assets, storyboards, brand identity assets, and designs for print.

Case studies that show your work process, start to finish. Outline each project's objectives, the design approaches you took, and the results.

Use a program like Keynote to illustrate a project from brainstorming to completion, including mood boards and inspiration from other designers, examples of color schemes, textures, patterns, typography, and other design elements, and more.

Examples of how you excel in different aspects of design, including imagery, typography, and 3D modeling.

Pictures of physical products or print materials that you designed.

Testimonials and recommendations from past employers and clients.

Samples of your passion projects.

Links to your LinkedIn and other social media accounts.

A professional bio or "About me" page.

How many pieces of work should go in a graphic design portfolio?

A successful portfolio might contain up to 20 pieces of your best work, provided that the display doesn't overwhelm or confuse your viewer. Keep in mind that as your gain experience in graphic design and complete more projects, you'll need to update your portfolio to highlight new abilities and styles.

School admissions: If you're building a portfolio to submit for college applications, follow the school’s guidelines. The school may give you a page limit, among other requirements. You may wonder what to include if you’re a recent graduate with no client experience. You can add work from school, create mock-ups and personal projects, and participate in design challenges. 

Ways to organize your portfolio include:

Chronological order to show how your skills have grown over time.

Categories to highlight multiple strengths.

Themes to demonstrate how diverse interests work well together.

Job interviews: Content may be more important than page count for a job interview. Your portfolio should reflect your career goals and the type of company you’d like to work for. Portfolios help tell prospective employers your unique story. You should adjust it with each new job you apply for.

How to build your graphic design portfolio

Follow these steps to build an adaptable, versatile portfolio to achieve your graphic design goals:

1. Select a platform.

Using website builder or platform to build an online portfolio can make it easy for anyone to navigate your graphic design work and learn more about you. Popular platforms include:

Squarespace

Adobe Portfolio

Site-building platforms like these offer numerous templates and layouts to choose from, the ability to customize your domain, and responsive web design capabilities.

Be sure to use high-resolution images throughout your graphic design portfolio.

2. Curate your portfolio.

Knowing your audience can help you decide what to include to create a cohesive and organized portfolio that represents your goals and personality. Here are examples to draw from:

Applying for a job as a brand designer might mean including more logos, typography, and social media assets.

Applying for a job with a publisher might mean showcasing your experience designing ebooks or documents for print.

Specializing in animation design might entail showcasing a storyboard and motion graphics for a video game, brand animation, or cartoon you've worked on.

Include pictures of yourself, your "About me" or professional bio content, and other relevant images for the portfolio.

3. Write descriptions and case studies for your work.

Written descriptions are essential elements of a graphic design portfolio, in that they help viewers understand your design process and the use cases for your work. Make sure the text is concise and free of errors.

4. Fine tune your portfolio.

Before publishing your portfolio, fine tune its layout, design, and overall look and feel. You can get inspiration by viewing others' graphic design portfolios on Canva, Instagram, or Pinterest.

Freelance Presentation Designer

I’d love to help you design a professional presentation to wow potential investors, clients or employers.

Testimonials

Adrienne is an exceptional asset to our Microsoft organization. She is a presentation wizard, works with efficiency, and brings our priorities to life in visually compelling ways. She steps in when need arises, immediately blends into the flow of the project, delivers with excellence, and bows out gracefully until the next time. If you need someone to take your slide presentations to the next level, look no further!

Melissa Wilson

Adrienne is the ultimate professional. Absolutely a pleasure to work with. She got the scope of the request, engaged in good discovery, presented design direction and turned around a great presentation in a short time. I will work with her again: often and soon!

Ursula Llabres

Global Director Client Success, B2B Reality Labs

Adrienne is great at what she does. She asks the right questions, listens to the job requirements in detail and executes on the instructions beyond expectations. I totally recommend her to anyone looking to use her skills because she possesses the qualities of a great freelancer with excellent communication, quality and timeline expectations.

The process

We’ll kick off a project with a 20-minute phone call to discuss your goals, brand identity, and timeline to ensure that your project goes smoothly.

Based on our discussion, I’ll send you a creative direction of 2-3 slides to ensure I’m headed in the right direction. My goal here is to amaze you!

I’ll incorporate your feedback from the creative direction and complete the design of the entire deck. I’ll edit until you’re perfectly happy – usually 1-2 revisions.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical project take.

A typical project takes 5-7 days to complete. Faster timelines may be possible. Feel free to reach out to discuss current project estimates.

What if I'm in a BIG hurry?

Other clients’ schedules may shift, leaving availability for rush projects. Please feel free to reach out if you need a project expedited to see if I have availability. Rush fees are 100% of the project cost for a 48-hour turnaround and 50% for 48-96 hour turnarounds.

In what format should I send you my content?

You are welcome to send your content already on slides or in outline format. If you have a specific vision for a particular slide, feel free to include an inspirational graphic or description of your vision to maximize efficiency and reduce turnaround time.

What else do you need from me to get started?

If you have high-resolution version of your logo in PNG, EPS or AI format, please send it, along with any style guides you may have for your brand. If you do not have a style guide, I can follow your website style to ensure consistency of your brand.

What if I don’t have a style guide?

If you do not have a style guide, I can follow your website style to ensure consistency of your brand. If you do not have a website or it does not currently reflect the direction you’d like to go, feel free to send over any other designs or examples you may have or like. Alternatively, I can propose a design that represents your brand.

How does payment work?

At the end of the project, I’ll send you an invoice that you can pay via credit card online.

How do you source photos? Are those an additional charge?

I use Shutterstock to license photography. Technically, those assets are licensed to me so if you are going to use them in the public domain you will need to license them to you or your company. I can provide a collection for quick access to license the images. Shutterstock packages are very reasonably priced at $3 or less per image.

What if I’m not happy with the final product?

We will begin the project with a creative direction, which is 2-3 designed slides, to ensure that I am the right designer for your project and that we efficiently get to a presentation that WOWs. If I am unable to create a design that you like during that process, you will not be charged.

If there are a few slides that need additional revisions at the end of the project, I am happy to provide those to ensure you love the final product.

Will I be able to edit the final presentation?

Absolutely! There may be occasional design elements that are created in Photoshop and imported in, but to the extent possible, all text is added in PowerPoint so that you can easily edit it.

How will we coordinate and communicate during a project?

I can communicate with you in whichever fashion you prefer. Most of my clients prefer email, but I am happy to collaborate with you in Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack or any other platform that is in your workflow.

What if I don’t want my content in your portfolio?

That’s not a problem at all. Just let me know when we start working together and I’ll place a note in your client file to keep your content out of my portfolio.

Additionally, if you would like for me to sign an NDA, I’d be happy to do so.
