Learn how to create a clean Freelancer portfolio layout design with great color.
Create a new file (File>New) of 900×900px/72 dpi. Select the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to give the new background layer black color. 
Next we’ll draw a small circle of white color with the Ellipse Tool (U). 
Set the next indicated styles by making a mouse click on the processed layer on the layers’ panel: Fill 20%, Blending Options>Stroke 
Make a copy of the layer containing the circle and select then the Free Transform option to enlarge a little the circle and place it the same way demonstrated on the next picture. Change the corresponding parameter on the copy on Fill 10% 
Make other copies of the same circle, changing the sizes for each copy with Free Transform option. Set the same parameter for the copies’ layers’ effects. Blending Options>Stroke 
… and change also the Opacity and Fill parameters arbitrary: 
Next we’ll apply a standard brush on a new layer (Create new layer) to represent several colored spots on the picture’s background. Each spot should be represented on a separate layer: 
… the color #F900C1 
The layer’s parameters: Fill 69% 
The next spot has the color #C2D373 
The layer’s parameters: Fill 63%, Blending mode-Linear Light 
The next spot has the color #6DB0F5 
The layer’s parameters: Fill 60% 
On the next layer we’ll apply the same standard brush, but we’ll change the Opacity on 10 % and select black color. 
Next we’ll write the site’s name, keeping the demands from the next table (used font): 
The layer’s styles: Blending Options>Drop Shadow 
Blending Options>Outer Glow
