1 Seek inspiration

Creativity is not something that you can force or turn on like a switch. It is a process that requires curiosity, exploration, and exposure to different ideas. One way to spark your creativity is to seek inspiration from various sources, such as books, magazines, blogs, podcasts, art, music, nature, or people. You can also use tools like Pinterest, Behance, or Dribbble to discover and save examples of great design work. Try to find inspiration that relates to your goals, interests, and style, but also challenge yourself to look outside your comfort zone and learn from different perspectives.

See others work. if you are in initial stages of your design journey explore the work of your favorite designers try to recreate that, I am not saying you should copy others work but when you recreate you get into the mind of the designer and that will help you to get your own style as well.

In my experience, I found creative ideas pop more when you are not in front of the computer. Mostly what has been written in Seek Inspiration. It is a great motto. When trying to figure where is the best place to start, seek from your experiences and work out for more. It will help expand your knowledge and give you more inspiration.

2 Experiment and play

Another way to develop a creative mindset is to experiment and play with different techniques, tools, and materials. You can use sketching, brainstorming, mind mapping, collage, or prototyping to generate and test your ideas. You can also try new software, hardware, or platforms to expand your skills and possibilities. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, break the rules, or try something unconventional. The goal is to have fun, learn, and discover new ways of expressing yourself.

If you are not getting clients initially do Passion projects, that helped me personally to get my first client and I think it will help you too. You might ask what are passion projects? These are the design projects you do to show your creative skills to your potential client. for example, if you are a logo designer you can do a logo design project for a company which doesn't exist yet. while showing this project you can tell client that you did this on your own and in long run you may get a customer for this passion project logo as well.

3 Reflect and refine

Creativity is not only about generating ideas, but also about selecting and refining them. You need to evaluate your work critically and objectively, and ask yourself questions like: Does it meet the brief? Does it communicate the message? Does it appeal to the audience? Does it showcase your strengths? Does it fit your brand? You also need to get feedback from others, such as mentors, peers, clients, or users. Listen to their opinions, suggestions, and critiques, and use them to improve your work.

4 Curate and present

Finally, you need to curate and present your portfolio in a way that highlights your creativity and professionalism. You need to select your best and most relevant projects, and arrange them in a logical and attractive order. You also need to provide context and details for each project, such as the brief, the process, the outcome, and the impact. You also need to choose a platform that suits your needs and preferences, such as a website, a PDF, or a physical portfolio. Make sure that your portfolio is easy to navigate, view, and share, and that it reflects your personality and style.

Your design portfolio is not only a collection of your work, but also a reflection of your creative mindset. By following these tips, you can develop a creative mindset that will help you create a portfolio that showcases your skills, creativity, and personality.

For creating your portfolio initially needs 2 things: 1] curiosity to learn. 2] practice of the fundamentals of design. Have curiosity to explore others work and then practice what you learn will give you basic skill and mindset you create your own portfolio.
