Have you ever received feedback on your own design portfolio?

Overall first impression (visual appeal, professionalism, initial thoughts)

Visual design (layout, typography, colors, branding)

Usability and navigation (ease of use, clarity)

I was personally asked by someone I knew (friend, colleague, classmate)

I volunteered to give feedback in a design community (Slack, Discord, forums)

I gave feedback through a formal event (portfolio review session, course critique)

I reviewed someone's portfolio after seeing it posted publicly (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter)

I gave feedback as part of an ongoing mentoring relationship

To give back to the design community that helped me

To practice giving better, more useful feedback

To build relationships or expand my network
