You may have noticed that we no longer have portfolios on Student Designers. Why is this? There are many portfolio sites out there already and we want Student Designers to be more about work in progress, what you guys are working on now rather than your finished designs.

A good title is one that describes the feedback you are looking for. For example: 'Help needed with colour of type' or 'What material to use for model'.
A good description expands on a good title. You should draw the communities' attention to the feedback you require. By adding more information you provide a better context for feedback.

Student Designers is here to help you improve your design work by getting feedback from other design students and industry professionals. Unlike other similar sites like the Behance Network and Coroflot, Student Designers is about your work in progress rather than your finished portfolio. It's also the place to read design students blogs all in one place.
To follow a designer, visit their profile and click the green follow button just underneath their name.
You can discover other design students using Student Designers by clicking on the 'Community' link in the main navigation and then selecting 'Browse and Search Design Students'.
Links to discover who is following you, and who you are following are situated on the left side of your homepage when logged in.
If you decide you do not want to follow a designer anymore then there are a couple of ways to stop following them. You can either visit their profile and click the red 'Unfollow' button, or you can view your following page (accessed from your logged in homepage) and click the black cross.
Currently it is not possible to directly message a user on the site. We are looking to implement this feature in the next few weeks.

The number next to your avatar is your reputation in the community for providing constructive feedback.
Every time you provide feedback, the community has the opportunity to provide feedback on it. If they feel that your feedback is good, constructive and relevant they may up-vote your feedback adding a plus point to your overall reputation. If, on the other hand, the community feels that your comment was unfair, your will receive a negative point towards your reputation score.
From uploading work for feedback to changing your profile picture and ensuring your profile is complete, the chances are every time you do something on the site, you'll receive some points for it. The more you interact with the site and our community of design students, the quicker your level will increase until finally you become a design BOSS (legendary status)!
