Choosing the Right Portfolio

The Print Portfolio
Portfolios that speak their language
Folder is quick to view
Small and light enough to fit on lap
Double page spread
Illustrations are created to be reproduced mostly
Wide variety of portfolio sizes and types
A bound portfolio is good
It is easier to pick a portfolio that you can insert or remove pages easily
Work should always be protected
Leaves and laminates are a good option
Work doesnt have to be mounted on white or black
Mount should not be the dominate thing
Minimize the amount of folder twirling
Get work photographed by someone who knows what they are doing

Tha Digital Portfolio
Digital is good for motion graphics and webistes
Be prepared with your own equpiment unless told otherwise
Images should be high quality
Be self-relent
Never assume you can use someone else computer
Make sure you are sending a file that the person can view
