Being featured in a Behance gallery is more than just a point of pride — it’s an opportunity to reach a wider audience. In addition to a boost in views and appreciations, many creatives have caught the attention of potential clients after their work was featured.
One of the most common questions we hear from the Behance community is “How do I get featured?” We’ve gathered insights and tips from our curation team to help you create polished projects and improve the chances of being featured.

1. Share your best work
Our curators look for creative projects that are visually striking, thoughtfully conceived, and executed with skill and precision. Beyond the quality and originality of the work itself, they also consider how it’s presented, the context behind it, and the organic traction it’s gaining within the community. To give yourself the best chance of being featured in a curated gallery, showcase your strongest work on Behance.

2. Publish complete projects
Due to the sheer volume of projects that are uploaded to Behance every day, our curators only review projects once — the first time that it’s published. Many people prefer to publish partially completed projects, then finish them later on. But because our curators can’t look at a project each time it’s updated, we suggest only publishing projects when they’re complete and ready to be considered for the curated galleries.
3. Include high quality images
People come to Behance to get inspired, so our curators are looking for high quality, high resolution, high impact visuals. If photographing your work, make sure the images are well-lit and thoughtfully composed. Mockups are a valuable resource to show the real world applications of your designs and add more depth and context to your projects. We recommend 1400px wide for images, and be mindful of watermarks — they should not distract from the work.

4. Tell your story
A strong Behance project tells a complete visual story. Our curators recommend including between 5–15 images in your project that show the breadth and details of your work. If your project is a single piece (for example, a mural), include close up views and the behind the scenes processes to paint the full picture. Keep in mind that our curators do not see projects with less than 3 images.

While including a write up in your project is not necessary, a few sentences that explains the scope of the work, the client (if it’s a commissioned piece), your process, and inspiration goes a long way to add context to your work.

4. Choose the right cover image
The cover image is the face of your project. It’s the first thing people see when they encounter your work, so it should be appealing and entice people to click through to the full project.
When choosing a cover, select an image that highlights the look and feel of the project, and consider including a full size version of your cover in the project. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to explain your project in words inside the project, so there’s no need to add text to the cover image.

5. Select the right category
Select the creative field that best represents your role, not necessarily the work as a whole. If your project is a short film and your role was in sound design, make sure you select Sound Design, not just Film in general. This is the opportunity to highlight your specific contribution.
6. Add relevant metadata
Tags help your work to be found. Your keywords should include the creative category, genre, technique, theme, concept, and other notable elements in your project. Think quality over quantity; it’s better to have fewer, relevant, and targeted keywords than a long list of unrelated ones.
Include the tools you used to create the project for a chance to be featured in the Adobe tool galleries, and be sure to add any credits or add collaborators to the project if they are also on Behance. We do not feature shops, publishers, or agencies if the artist is not included as a collaborator.

7. Connect with the community
Behance is first and foremost a community of creatives, and we value authentic interactions between our members. Start by following designers whose work you admire. Appreciate projects you enjoy – it’s a simple way to support fellow creatives and can spark reciprocal engagement.
Leave thoughtful comments that show genuine interest, like a specific note about what you love, be it the choice of typography or color palette, or the story behind the project. Building a following on Behance means you’ll get more organic views and can help your work become more visible.
