The Behance Network

I recently came across The Behance Network when someone tweeted about the work of Anna Rusakova. First impressed with her beautiful illustration that I would describe as highly professional doodles, I continued on to browse The Behance Network, where her work was being displayed. The site is a free service for creatives, who may build a portfolio after requesting an invite by submitting just an email address and description of their work.

Once a member, you can create an ad-free portfolio to share with potential clients. According to the website, they also receive millions of visitors looking to hire designers and other creative professionals. While I don't yet have personal experience with the site, it's an interesting one to watch especially because it is an attractive alternative to creating your own portfolio. I would never underestimate the importance of having a truly unique and personal showcase of your work, but it's also beneficial to get your work out there in many places.

If anyone has experience with the network please share in the comments.
