Behance

Product Overview

Behance's core function allows creative professionals from around the world to freely create and showcase their online portfolios. Designers, illustrators, photographers, animators, UI/UX designers, and other creative talents can upload their projects here. A "project" on Behance typically serves as a comprehensive case study, including multiple images, videos, textual descriptions, design processes, inspiration sources, and more. This allows other users to gain in-depth insight into the background and creation process of the work. Discovery and Exploration The platform offers robust exploration features. Users can discover new works and creative talents based on various filtering criteria such as creative fields (e.g., graphic design, photography, illustration, UI/UX, animation, industrial design), tools, colors, countries/regions, and more. Community Interaction Behance boasts an active creative community. Users can "Appreciate" projects they like, leave comments, and follow other creatives, fostering interaction and exchange. Livestreams Behance provides livestreaming capabilities, allowing creatives to broadcast their creation process, share tips, or host Q&A sessions, enhancing community engagement and learning opportunities. Hiring and Talent Discovery Many companies and recruiters use Behance to discover and hire creative talent. The platform offers a job board, giving creatives the opportunity to be discovered and find employment. Integration with Adobe Products As an Adobe product, Behance is deeply integrated with the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of software (e.g., Photoshop, Illustrator, XD, etc.), making it convenient for users to publish their work directly from these applications. Curated and Featured Showcases Behance's editorial team regularly selects high-quality, impactful projects from the vast amount of submissions for curation and featured showcases, helping excellent works gain more exposure.
