How to share your FPIs on your portfolio page

Any images you upload (or images others upload and tag you in) that have been added to the Front Page Image Collection will be displayed on your FPI page:

• Go to your portfolio page
• Go to the grey cog (top right) and click My front page images (FPIs) 

PurplePort VIP members can add an FPI button on their portfolio page and a clickable FPI logo in their portfolio notes, both of which link directly to their FPI page for easier access to their FPIs.

• Click on the FPI logo you just added 
• Click the Insert (from the top menu) and then click Link

FAQs

What are FPIs?

Front page images (FPIs) are images added to the Front Page Image Collection. They are displayed to visitors on the logged-out PurplePort homepage to show how fabulously talented and creative the PurplePort community is. These images are the most breathtaking, beautiful, and inspiring images on PurplePort. 

How can I get an FPI?

There are no particular criteria for getting an FPI. All you need to do is be active on the PurplePort and upload generally good-quality, well-lit and well-processed images that have been cropped with an eye-catching thumbnail. Click here to find out more about how to get FPIs.

Who chooses FPIs?

PurplePort Staff and members of the FPI Selection Team are responsible for managing and choosing FPIs. The FPI Selection Team (aka "elves") are a group of around 100 PurplePort members (including models, MUAs and photographers) who volunteer their time to help with FPIs. With varying backgrounds, image styles, and preferences, this team of volunteers ensures that we have a wide selection of images displayed on the front page for visitors to PurplePort.

Can I join the team that chooses FPIs?

Yes! Anyone with an excellent eye for stunning images and an interest in helping with FPIs can apply to join the FPI Selection Team:

1. Create an image collection (20-30 images) of fantastic images that aren't FPIs. These must be images you think should be FPIs but are not currently FPIs. Click here to learn more about image collections. 
2. Contact us via a support ticket with your finished collection. Create a new support ticket to let us know you want to join the FPI Selection Team and share a link to your image collection. 
3. We'll review your collection. If your images are along the right lines for the Front Page Image Collection, we'll add you to the FPI Selection Team.
