My new portfolio looks like a newspaper, and you can draw on it the way you would on a real one 🗞️

I've been struggling with my portfolio for a while – it looked too generic to me. Of course, a designer's portfolio should speak through the work, but every version I made could have belonged to anyone. So, I rebuilt it around my two careers: nine years in journalism, then interaction design. I intentionally made it look like a newspaper: layout, masthead, columns, a grid, doodles in the margins.

Curious what you think. Does the newspaper hold up, or does it get in the way of the work? 🤔
