AIGA Member Gallery
AIGA members are invited to join the AIGA Member Gallery—an exclusive
network hosted by Behance—to gain broader exposure for their work,
connect with like-minded designers, and be discovered more easily
by potential clients and recruiters. Joining the network allows you to:
Gain broader exposure for your work
Your work will be shown both on the AIGA Member Gallery and in the
larger Behance Network that
attracts millions of visitors per month.
Be discovered by recruiters and employers
Keyword search is built in, meaning that you can tag individual
pieces and portfolios with the keywords employers, recruiters,
editors, and industry leaders use to find and hire top talent.
Connect with designers and partners
The AIGA Member Gallery gives you the ability to create communities
through projects, collaborate with other creative minds and solicit
constructive feedback on current and past projects in your
portfolio.
Showcase your work in a professional
atmosphere
Put your best foot forward by building a multimedia portfolio with
an unlimited number of projects. You can also select a “frame view”
version to send a simple, stripped-down gallery of your work to
potential clients via your own URL.

FAQs
Q: What happens to my portfolio if I don't renew my AIGA
membership?
If your membership has expired, your portfolio will no longer show
up as part of the AIGA Member
Gallery, but it will remain on the Behance Network—without AIGA affiliation. When you reinstate your AIGA membership,
you'll be able to re-join the AIGA Member Gallery network in
Behance so that you can enjoy the benefits of inclusion in this
trusted and respected professional network.
Q: I there a space to display my résumé?
Yes! This feature was added in November 2010. You can provide both
a searchable web page and downloadable PDF version from your
profile.
Q: Can I add a URL that links to other websites/projects I
have done?
Yes, users can add URLs to their profiles in the Edit Profile
setting. Another option is to add links and linked-text within a
project. To do this, simply add a TEXT module to your project and
select the icon for inserting a web link from within the text
editor.
Q: Can I organize the projects in my portfolio by
groups?
While users can add specific tags and creative fields to each
project that they publish in their portfolio, Behance doesn’t
currently offer the ability to group projects by a specific group
name.
Q: How do I get my work “featured”?
Featured projects are hand-picked by the Behance curatorial team,
based on a number of criteria and data from the network. Behance
has a dedicated group of people who review every project published
in the network everyday to find the most innovative projects.
Q: What about AIGA Design Jobs? Can I still find or post a
job?
AIGA Design Jobs has
relaunched as a trimmed down, easier-to-use resource for talent and
opportunity in the design profession.
Q: I need help!
