Products

[edit]

It is a personal portfolio site creation tool on the web and it syncs with a user's Behance project.[15] Adobe Portfolio can only be accessed by buying an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.

In September 2010, more were added, including branding, digital art and toy design. In April 2012, advertising, art, architecture and more were added as categories.[16]

Action Method

[edit]

99U

[edit]

99U is a consulting service and annual conference in New York City that focuses on marketing. The name 99U comes from the Thomas Edison quote that "Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration."[14] In 2011, 99U won a Webby Award for "Best Cultural Blog."[18]

Awards

  • 2009 Silicon Alley Insider Award Finalist – Most Loved Product or Service[19]
  • 2011 Webby Award Winner (The 99%) – Best Cultural Blog[20]

Criticism

[edit]

Adobe's acquisition of Behance in 2012 prompted concerns that the company would start monitoring the activity of its users, which may limit users' trust in the site.[22]

Studies on Behance user demographics show that male users on Behance outnumber female users by more than two to one. This contrasts with the gender demographics of Pinterest, where female users are the dominant majority, making up 90% of the user numbers. While male and female Behance users created about the same number of projects, men tended to have a greater number of followers and receive more likes for their projects.[23]

The platform initially operated as a bootstrapped venture, launching publicly in 2006 with a focus on simple project uploading and sharing tools to streamline portfolio creation.

Challenges

Criticisms

One major of Behance centers on its recommendation , which tends to favor established and popular users, thereby hindering visibility for newcomers and lesser-known creators. A study by researchers analyzing the platform's system revealed a pronounced toward popular projects, creating a "rich-get-richer" dynamic where high-view items receive disproportionate exposure while new uploads struggle to surface. This issue has contributed to elevated churn rates, with creators receiving fewer than five views in their first year facing 2.5 times higher dropout rates compared to those with over 100 views. The introduction of paid features through Behance Pro in 2024 has also drawn scrutiny, with users viewing it as a that locks essential tools behind a subscription model. The Pro tier bundled advanced and zero platform fees but integrated previously free elements like Portfolio, prompting concerns over for non-professional users. Professional reviews noted this shift "stirred up quite a bit of chatter, both good and bad," highlighting tensions between and platform equity. Content moderation on Behance has faced complaints regarding (IP) protection, particularly in handling reports of and . While the platform maintains a formal policy compliant with the (DMCA), allowing users to submit notices, instances of stolen designs persisting online have been documented in user discussions, often with delays in resolution. This has led to frustrations among creators who rely on Behance for showcasing original work without adequate safeguards against unauthorized replication. Accessibility remains a point of contention for non-visual creatives, such as writers and conceptual artists, as Behance's core design emphasizes image- and video-based portfolios, limiting native support for text-heavy or audio formats until platform updates in 2024. The 2024 Accessibility Conformance Report outlined improvements in compatibility, including support and keyboard navigation, but these enhancements primarily address disability-related barriers rather than expanding tools for diverse creative disciplines. As a result, writers have historically found the platform less accommodating, often needing to adapt content into visual mockups to participate effectively. Concerns over AI-driven biases in Behance's recommendation engine persist, with algorithms accused of amplifying trends from dominant user groups while marginalizing underrepresented creators. These critiques emphasize the need for fairness-aware re-ranking to balance exposure without compromising relevance, as highlighted in analyses of the system's popularity biases.

Controversies

In 2014, Behance faced controversy when it pressured student Sures Kumar to remove his project "Pro-Folio," an artistic critique that involved copying and recontextualizing works from Behance portfolios to highlight issues of unauthorized replication on the platform. Behance cited violations of its community guidelines rather than pursuing a formal , but the incident drew for potentially stifling satirical commentary on practices within creative networks. In response, , Behance's parent company, enhanced its tools for handling claims, including streamlined DMCA takedown processes and increased transparency reporting. Following 's acquisition of Behance in December 2012, concerns arose in 2013 regarding data privacy, particularly after a major Adobe security breach exposed the personal information of up to 38 million users, including those associated with Behance accounts. The incident involved hackers accessing customer IDs, encrypted credit card data, and other details, leading to widespread user apprehension about the integration of Behance's creative portfolios into Adobe's ecosystem and potential risks to user post-merger. Adobe responded by notifying affected users, offering credit monitoring services, and bolstering its overall privacy measures, though the breach amplified fears that the acquisition could expose Behance's community to broader corporate vulnerabilities. The 99U Conference, an annual Behance-organized event for creative professionals, encountered significant issues in 2020 due to the . Originally planned as an in-person gathering in New York, it was canceled in March, with organizers shifting to a virtual format held on June 17 via the Behance platform. Attendees who had registered faced refund delays and complications, including non-refunded cancellation fees for early dropouts; Adobe later announced automatic refunds for all registrants, retroactively waiving prior fees to address complaints about the handling of the transition. This fallout highlighted logistical challenges in pivoting high-profile creative events amid global disruptions, with some participants expressing frustration over communication and financial resolution timelines. In 2025, Behance has been at the center of ongoing debates regarding its policies on AI-generated content, especially following deeper integrations with Adobe's Firefly generative AI model. Critics argue that allowing AI-created projects on the platform risks diluting the authenticity of human-driven creative work, while Adobe maintains that Firefly's training on licensed data ensures ethical use and compliance with standards. Discussions at events like Adobe MAX in 2025 emphasized the need for clearer labeling and disclosure requirements for AI-assisted uploads to Behance, amid broader industry concerns about job displacement and content provenance. Behance's guidelines permit such content provided it adheres to community rules, but the policy has sparked calls for more robust moderation to prevent misleading representations of artistic originality. Post-2020, Behance and have maintained compliance with enhanced privacy regulations like the EU's GDPR, avoiding any associated fines despite increased scrutiny on data handling for creative platforms. 's privacy framework, updated regularly to align with global standards, includes user controls for on Behance and transparent processing of in portfolios. This adherence has been verified through annual audits and regulatory reviews, with no enforcement actions reported against for GDPR violations related to Behance operations since the regulation's full implementation.
