With more than a million members, Behance is a great way to get constructive criticism on your work, or help others f nd you for freelance assignments or employment. You can also look through job listings, browse curated gal- pleted Project rather than a Work in Progress (see below), you’ll leries, follow specif c members, post your work experience, designate one image as the Cover. explore portfolios from design schools and other organizations, f nd items (work) for sale, and much more. The Work for Sale area is especially interesting because it not only includes the expected images and illustrations, it also includes the unex- pected: fonts, audio, clothing, accessories, crafts, furniture, home goods, posters, cards, books, and toys. You can upload video, audio, and image f les, either through Adobe’s Creative Cloud app, or directly from Lightroom 5, Photo- shop CC, and Illustrator CC.
