Portfolio help

[Orangutan Amy]

Hi all,

I need to give my printed portfolio a revamp presentation wise. It's been presented in the same way since college and it's looking a bit tired. It's just on black card in plastic sleeves in a black carry case.

I know the main focus should be the work so I don't want anything too fancy. Also the reflections off the plastic sleeves are detracting from what's underneath.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
Amy

What are you trying to present, logos, photos, etc?

sew your stuff onto tracing paper with some thick white or black thread

Why not try to take your gear to a printers and get them to bind up a nice hardback book for you where they can print your images onto glossy paper and you can have some text about the concepts of your designs etc?

hi amy,
can i ask why you call yourself "Orangutan Amy"? Are you interested in orangutans?
I run the UK branch of the world's largest primate rescue operation, Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation. We look after over 800 rescued orangutans.
We are currently looking for pro bono help with logos, branding and leaflets, and in return offer the chance for a graphic designer to showcase their work internationally on a huge scale (designers will be acknowledged on our award winning websites and newsletters.)
If anyone here is interested in helping or submitting some ideas, please get a hold of me through the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation UK website.
