Guest nokta_graphics Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Fiverr recommend flicker for portfolio image although I think flicker is not enough for a graphic/logo designer. Because, such as a logo, A logo is not just a logo, it's a brand. It has a huge impact and it has a feeling of excitement. A good logo has a story, has a meaning, has an appeal, has a heart-touching vibe.... So, its not possible to show all meaning of a logo/design by just an image. And maximum client never identify a good designer by just see an image. But if a client saw a full history behind the logo then he can identify a real designer. And I think Behance is a portfolio site where we can show the full history behind a design. Otherwise i saw here are many of level1/2 designers didn't know the design principles which is foundation of a quality logo/design. And some level1/are giving design from free stock site. And a real designer who make his design by following design principal, he can't sell his design by low coast. Can we request Fiverr for allow another portfolio site?

aarontgladiator Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I don't exactly understand this perhaps because I'm no logo designer myself, but Fiverr only allows you to share links of certain sites they can trust on their platform so that someone doesn't share something inappropriate or something like a virus. It's for the safety of the users on the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelbostwick Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Have you thought about creating a PDF file that highlights one or two logos you have created with information about what makes them such a powerful brand? I think a lot of gigs have the option to upload a PDF or two for your gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be stopped from posting any outside content as a link. It has to be the original work and you must post it. That prevents fraud and malicious behavior, the Terms will say it better than me. Fiverr has very strict rules and you must read them and understand them and PLEASE don’t go against the rules because you run the risk of getting your account banded.

Yes I have uploaded 1 pdf with every gig, but if I try to include full history of a logo in a file then the file size also gets bigger. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks for your suggestion. I think if you use Illustrator or coreldraw and export as a PDF, the file size should be minimal under 2MB. If you have images of a higher resolution in the design, I'd suggest you try to reduce its quality to the total file size can be under 2MB. If build a reputation on the platform, it will get a certain stage fiverr will allow you create a portfolio on your profile where you can include your case studies. I hope this helps.

And you don't need more than two logo histories to impress a future client - more than that and you'll lose their attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenasemenkova Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Flickr is such a bizarre choice for an “official” portfolio host. I remember it being all the rage around 2010-ish. Then yahoo! acquired it and killed it immediately. I wonder if Fiverr has made a deal with them back in the day because Fiverr/Flickr sounded similar. I agree that it’s not a good platform for a design portfolio. It was made specifically to exhibit photography. You can write to customer support and make suggestions. Sometimes they listen if they accumulate enough requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your suggestion. If you have a file size that's too big and you're not sure how to play around with the compression setting go to google and type "Adobe PDF Compress". Adobe offers an auto compression for pdf's on their site for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
