Behance reveals all-new look for 2019

[Rss Bot 1]

Behance has long been known as a go-to place to find the best creative work from around the world. Since its inception, the online portfolio platform become a inspirational resource for everyone in the creative community, whether that be as an artist wanting to get their work out to the masses or an employer searching for new talent.  

However, with the arrival of multiple no-coding, easy-to-use website builders in recent years, its fair to say Behance started to lose a bit of its lustre. But that all looks set to change, with the company yesterday revealing brand new Behance profile (see above) and project pages to better showcase creatives work.

And we think they've certainly fulfilled that brief, especially when you compare the new profile page (above) to the previous version (see below). 

The previous Behance profile page has undergone a serious makeover

Bigger and better 

The all-new Behance profile page has been updated to feature larger, single cover images to really let the work do all the talking. And the text that was once immediately visible below the images - name of the project, likes and views - can now be seen by simply hovering over each project. 

There's also now the option for creatives to upload a custom banner image to their Behance profile. A subtle but hugely beneficial feature to add personality and keep a profile on brand. And it's ridiculously easy to set up, using a simple drag and drop/reposition system with a image of your choice. More information on adding Behance profile banners can be found here.

The best presentation

And the updates don't stop there. The Behance team has also updated the layout of individual project pages to help creatives present their work in the best possible way, and at the same time making it easier for viewers to appreciate it. 

Full project images fill the screen, with project and creator information at both the top and bottom and actions including share, save, follow and appreciate present the entire time. 

It's clear Behance and Adobe has pulled out all the stops for this update, bringing the online platform up-to-date and inline with other highly visual platforms like Pinterest. Question is, will this be enough to fully put Behance back on the map? Watch this space.
