Introduction
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Your architecture portfolio is the single most important document in your job search — yet most architects unknowingly sabotage their chances with avoidable layout mistakes.
1. Inconsistent Margins and Gutters
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. When margins shift from page to page, reviewers subconsciously perceive sloppiness — even if your projects are brilliant.
2. Too Many Fonts
Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. Stick to two typefaces maximum: one for headings, one for body text. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit sed do eiusmod tempor.
3. Ignoring Visual Hierarchy
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium. Without clear hierarchy, reviewers don’t know where to look first. Totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo.
4. Overcrowded Pages
Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit. White space is not wasted space — it’s a design element that gives your work room to breathe. Sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt.
