Avoid trends. Trends…End.

The portfolio should reflect the business and attract the clientele the designer is interested in working with. Colors should be selected appropriately for the content, not preference of the creator.
Ordered chaos can work, so can staid rigidity, depending on who you are trying to reach.

I’m going to second this. If you are following a trend, you are not showing what makes you unique. Though I have to say that first one has a lot of room to play around with which is why it makes a good BASE and I really mean BASE for a portfolio or just website (PP foundry for example has a pretty similar design)

Here are some of the top digital portfolio design trends for 2023 that will focus on UX design:

  • Personalized user experiences: Designers will need to incorporate personalization features into their portfolios to create a more engaging and relevant experience for visitors. This could include using AI to track user behavior and preferences, or allowing visitors to customize the layout or content of the portfolio.
  • Sustainable design: More and more designers are embracing sustainable design principles in their portfolios. This could include using eco-friendly materials, reducing the number of pages in the portfolio, or using a dark mode theme.
  • Ethical design: Designers are also becoming more aware of the ethical implications of their work. This means considering the impact of their designs on users’ privacy, security, and well-being.
  • Emerging technologies: Designers will need to stay up-to-date on the latest emerging technologies, such as generative AI, voice user interfaces, and augmented reality. These technologies can be used to create more immersive and interactive portfolios.
