Hi everyone, I’m working through the build your portfolio project (finally!) and have got my ideas for the basic layout down. I was wondering, though, where do you guys find images for the header cover? ---

Hi! If you don’t have an idea what image will be suitable, just use some nice bg color (you can change it into img anytime). In my project I divided the portfolio into subsections, each with it’s own distinct color and filled them with description + thumbnails 😉 ---

Yep, don’t lose that momentum! If you’re certain you want a slick looking image but haven’t found the right one yet, you can just stick a placeholder there for now.
