In this article, we will try to take a look at the world of design from an unusual angle. For example, have you ever thought about the fact that trolley buses, street lamps and even subways have a design? So, one day, someone designed them and drew them.   I mean, design is more than just posters, billboards and flyers in the street. There are many interesting design directions. Here are some of them:   Graphic design - the creation of 2D plan graphic objects.

Many people ask themselves the question when starting their career in IT: how to build a professional portfolio? The answer to this question sometimes looks like a vicious circle. In this article, we will answer your questions and explain how to build a professional portfolio, even without any professional experience.

The programmer's portfolio includes programs, and the promotion specialist will have graphics and links to the pages he has promoted.
