Adobe's portfolio platform: long-form creative case studies, no public API since shutdown
Behance is Adobe's creative portfolio network, where designers publish multi-image project case studies rather than single shots. Projects are filed by creative field — Graphic Design, Photography, Illustration, 3D Art, UI/UX, Motion, Architecture, Product Design, Fashion, Advertising, Fine Arts, Crafts, Game Design, Sound — with a second axis of Adobe tool tags (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Substance 3D). Browsing projects is public and does not require sign-in; uploading, saving and following do. Behance Pro adds analytics and a custom portfolio site on a 7-day trial. The public API was shut down, so there is no supported way to pull a user's projects programmatically.
Treat this as a human-only destination: the projects are image stacks inside a JS app, the public API is gone, and every project is the author's copyrighted work with no reuse grant — so never scrape it and never present a Behance image as an asset the user can ship. It beats Dribbble when someone needs the full arc of a project (research, process, final artwork) rather than a hero crop, and it is the right place to point someone hunting for a studio or a freelancer. For anything you need to read, cite the project URL and stop there.
Why it is here. It is the largest public record of long-form creative process, which makes it the reference for how a case study is structured — even though none of it is machine-accessible.
