Behance – Creative Portfolios

When I click on notifications, the app is stuck on that project page. I can’t close out of the project, click on the artist, or use any gestures other than clicking on the pictures. I have to close out of the app and reopen to get back to the home page. This just started after the last update. The other issue I have is that you can’t click the top of the screen to return to the top when a project is open. Not sure why this hasn’t been fixed yet.

Behance used to be the place artists could not only display their work to potential clients and promote to the general world consciousness and could expect for many eyes to see it. But in the past years, Behance no longer fights to stay on top of the design industry, allowing newer platforms to get a lot more popularity and traction in the design space. 90% of the income of this platform should be spent to retake the #1 creative spot and to target and drive traffic from business owners, entrepreneurs, company creative departments, startups who need logos and brand development, ad agencies needing overflow work, and more. Stop pocketing all the ad and subscription money generated from our creative work and INVEST that back into getting out work seen more, as it used to be. Now you’re just riding the coattails of previous years and the reputation of years past. Make this platform competitive again with the platforms who have soared past us here. Get back in the game. If you do that, you will also benefit from the restored popularity of the site. Not just squeezing whatever juice you still can until it dies completely. We creatives deserve your investment back into our work. Only then can we all rise together again to top prominence. Bring back Behance again. It’s still the best display platform for us to upload work to, but if no one is seeing it, what’s the point? I used to get work here but it’s dried up entirely and is only good anymore for our own vanity to feel like we can show new projects that no one sees anymore. Please. You owe it to us for making creative be work on your platform and we no longer get anything for our efforts. The only ones making money on this site anymore are you, the platform hosts, on ad revenue and our subscription. We need to benefit too or it can never sustain itself. Invest some of your profits back and into us creatives to retake the lead again in the creative space. Please. It’s been dying far too long. Target those who invest in design and creativity back to this platform. We all win from that. Not doing that, everyone here involved will lose. Including Adobe for not reinvesting into driving traffic back here.

This app is useful for people who want straightforward ideas. I Myself, loving to draw unique things, downloaded this app thinking that I would get some funky and unique things to draw, but everything there was digital art. No paper, no pencil drawing tips, nothing. On top of that, all of the digital art was really basic. The for you page had nothing to do with things that I recently viewed or saved. Uploading posts or creating a profile is much more difficult than I think it needs to be, which is really annoying. The search bar basically has barely to no helpful use, because when I search a type of art up, other random things show up. In conclusion, if you could make this app less strict and more creative, that would be much better.
