2. Images and Logos

You will need several high-quality images for your portfolio. Follow these guidelines for optimal image sizes:

  • Site Logo: 510 x 510px
  • Project Images: 1900 x 1080px
  • Experience Template Image (Template 3): 1200 x 500px
  • Pictures of individuals giving testimonials: 640 x 427px
  • Contact Page Image: 500 x 500px

Tip: Use platforms like GitHub or Google Drive to upload your images and generate shareable links. Ensure you grant "view access" to anyone with the link. We are not collecting this images and logo from you but you need to provide the links to the images.

Note: 1. If you provide a Google Drive image link, the system will automatically modify the link to the format: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=ImageId. This ensures the image can be displayed correctly on your portfolio. Don't worry if you notice that your link has changed after entering it in the form.
2. If you don't provide image links, default images will be used, which may not be relevant to your specific projects, experiences, or contact page.

3. Resume and Other Uploads

Upload your resume to Google Drive (or another cloud storage service) with "anyone with the link can view" access. Inplace of resume link you can also provide any other platform link like GitHub, LinkedIn, etc.
