Binding Portfolio:
I have yet to decide on how I want to display my portfolio as of yet but I have researched online and few images of pre-existing porfolio binding techniques which I have found interesting which are shown below.
Accordian Style Portfolio:
The tutorial for making this style of portfolio can be found here.
Custom, Leather Portfolio:
The above portfolio grabbed my attention simply due to the look of the how it is presented which the different colour leather, giving the text a raised feel to the binding and more texture as well. The only down side is that to produce something like this would cost a considerable ammount. The portfolio image can be found here.
Main Idea:
The main Idea I have for binding my portfolio actually came to me on the way to there University today. The idea I had was re-using the fox image I used for the Business Card and CV in the design of the portfolio Pages and Portfloio Holder.
Fox Picture
Just a personal note, I actually drew this fox myself from a preference picture during 2005 when I attended College.
Portfolio:
Embossed Fox
I most likely I will be using the above Fox image on the portfolio pages as well but at 40% opacity like I did with my CV.
Portfolio Holder:
From the Ebossed image above I isolated the head, adjusted it to A4 size and added a grey rectangle to the back of the head.
I then flipped the whole image for the other side, these will make up two sides of the Portfolio Holder.
Portfolio Binding:
For binding the portfolio, I got my inspiration from our tutor and decided to use Treasury Tags.
This image was found here.
Final Poster Design:
Here is the final Poster Design which was chosen to advertise the Exhibition.
I'm particually proud of this fact from being the person who made it.
As an addition I have edited the finished version of my Business card as per our tutor's suggestion and I agree with her that the design does look better with the slight changes of the Fox graphic being lengthend and the text re-sized and then moved.
