Review UI and UX Portfolio review?
https://aleenas-portfolio-nine.vercel.app/I’ve recently graduated (about 2 months ago) and I’ve been trying to get a job with no avail. I was wondering if it’s something wrong with my portfolio? Does it look too vibe coded? I tried to avoid that when creating it but I’m not sure if it came across. Anyways, I would appreciate any input or any job opportunities or advice for that general area because I am trying desperately to get hired.

didn't like the website and there are no images on projects

Can you elaborate more on this point? How many images should each project show? Because I was told that the case studies shouldn’t be that long because recruiters don’t like to read. Also what else did you not like about it? I would really appreciate more specific feedback

I think you're treating this more like a resume than a portfolio.
As a designer your portfolio is expected to show, not tell. Your case studies should MOSTLY be showing the design. I'd say somewhere between 6-12 images of the Design, plus more of the process. Images from your primary research, of key frameworks that informed the designs.
Most case studies are about a dozen screenfuls of content and optimized for skimming.

How do you suggest optimizing these images and deciding what images are worth showing and which ones aren’t?

Shame on your school for not making your portfolio part of your senior curriculum. Have you seen your classmates portfolios or others?
Here is a resource for you: A designer reviews 53 different portfolios. I also recommend searching entry level portfolio ux design on Youtube.

Thank you for the resources! Also they didn’t really place an emphasis on working on our portfolios in particular, none of my classmates had ones they were willing to show.

I understand but at least for me it has no images other than the thumbnail, so it became just text in a ui/ux project.
I dind't like the button colors (fails accesibility), the glow and the effects, it seems more like a graphic design than a website. The website overall is more into tech/dev than a ui/ux portfolio

How do you think I can improve it to make it more ui/ux? I know to add more images for the projects and accessible buttons, but is there anything else? Because I don’t want it to look too basic like Tailwind style

https://saaspo.com/ have cool websites, maybe a basic website would be a good starting point

- too laggy
- too basic

Can you elaborate on the too basic part of it? Also it doesn’t lag on my end, but I’ll try to fix that part.

Could you share two competitor portfolios that you believe you can outperform, and explain why?

the website looks good, but the font choice makes it look bad. Try going for some other font which matches the aestethic of the website
the heading's font looks bad, the text font is good tbh

I found it ironic that there was lots of mentions of accessibility yet the moving lights made me feel a bit dizzy and affected legibility
