4 With over 30 million portfolio views a month, Bēhance is also a great place to find new work. But, with so many portfolios to browse through, it can be difficult to know where to start. Bēhance s team of curators select top graphic design portfolios to appear when you launch the home page. It also features filters, catagories, and a search engine for you to explore on your own.

5 Bēhance was founded in 2006 by Scott Belsky, a banking firm manager, and Matias Corea, a graphic designer. They wanted to give creative individuals the ability to share their designs and projects with the world -- for free and on their own terms. Bēhance was acquired by Adobe in December 2012 but the team remained intact in NYC. Terms of the deal weren t officially disclosed but news reports place the sale price at about $150 million. Bēhance has hosted more than 2.3 million public projects from 170 countries. Those projects have generated some 33.6 million appreciations from members and visitors to the site.
