[logo] OVERTIME EPISODE 83 “As we know, the stakes are extremely high in political design. If somebody does something that’s different, it’s a risk.” [hero-image] Art by [Meg Lewis]( Hey baby, hey! It’s me, your host Meg “She’s Running Out of Ideas for This” Lewis, and hello, welcome, welcome! Welcome back to [Overtime](, Dribbble’s weekly podcast where I cover design news and give you the tips you need to create your very best work. On this week’s [Overtime](, a political candidate does something different for once and then, of course, everyone starts doing that too, and now the landscape looks the same again. Ooh, plus, 👁️👄👁️ (Eye Mouth Eye)! What is that? Oh, sweet Meg, it is what it is. And 3D artist Noah Camp bops on in to talk about imposter syndrome and the power of leaning on support to find your way as a creative. [Let’s get chatting!]( [Listen to Episode 83 now](.

Other Happenings 💪 Strong personal branding “Be authentic: Don’t shy away from injecting your personality into your website’s branding, while also pulling from the overarching themes of your work. Also, consider your audience: what do you want to communicate to your visitors? Use your branding to tell a story that captivates potential clients, and paints a picture of who you are as a creative.” As a creative professional, [strong personal branding]( is a must. Not only does it demonstrate your unique value to prospective clients, it also serves as a key differentiator from other creatives in your space. [Strong personal branding]( makes you and your work that much more memorable, while adding credibility to your craft. [Strong personal branding] So, how do you effectively incorporate personal branding into your own portfolio site? For starters, it goes way beyond the logo. It’s all about how every element comes together to communicate your message and paint a picture of who you are—from carefully selecting a color palette, typography, your choices in photography, copywriting, and even the projects you choose to showcase. Over on the [Dribbble blog](, we teamed up with our friends at Squarespace to highlight [nine stunning portfolio sites]( that each exemplify powerful personal branding. Much of what these designers were able to achieve was done through simply selecting a template that set them up for success, putting the emphasis on their talents and skills. Head on over to our [complete article]( and check out these striking branding takes, along with additional actionable tips for showcasing yourself as a creative practitioner. ■You elected to receive these emails.
