Every day, several young people and professionals (companies) are faced with the tough task of developing their portfolio. Sometimes it becomes complicated to achieve the best result, because we always find it difficult to do a self-evaluation of our best work.

A portfolio’s main purpose is to show the different competencies, qualifications, and experiences of our skills along our professional and personal path.

The physical portfolio has always been the most applied over a long time, as a more artistic and tactile way to show your work and evolution. Nowadays, with the progress of technology and the Internet, we are able to achieve results more economically and more quickly. However, there are advantages and disadvantages to both formats.
