What Behance does well
- Portfolio presentation. Projects can be laid out as detailed case studies, which suits design and illustration work.
- A global audience. Your work can be seen by studios and clients outside India.
- Creative jobs and freelance work. Behance has a jobs board and lets people hire creatives for freelance projects.
- The Adobe connection. It fits naturally into the work of people who already use Adobe tools.
For a design or illustration career with clients anywhere, Behance is worth keeping up to date.
Where Gig'le is different
- Built for India and your city. Every gig and event belongs to a city, so you can see what is open near you, for example in Hyderabad.
- More than visual work. Gig'le covers ten crafts: music, dance, comedy, theatre, literature, visual arts, photography, videography, fashion and culinary. Collaborations across them are easy to find.
- Gigs with the pay stated. Organisers and venues post gigs on the Gigs board with the craft, location, experience level and pay.
- Events, not just work. Exhibitions, photo walks, workshops and shows on the Events board.
How to use them together
- Keep your Behance portfolio for global clients. It is the right place for detailed case studies.
- Use Gig'le for local work and your scene. Find gigs and events in your city, and meet artists in other crafts.
- Post your strongest pieces on Gig'le too. They are what organisers look through when you apply.
