I like cd-rom portfolios – especially mini 3 inch cds – they look crisp.

I certainly agree that having a paper based portfolio and not just an Online one is a good idea as it does not look very professional when somebody asks to see examples / evidence of your work and you have nothing to show them. Good post Gino.

I have a nice wood grain portfolio from Veer

I also have a more disposable black plastic portfolio tat I can give out if needed, plus my online portfolio.

I think clam shell is ok if you have a lot of odd size work that won’t fit in sleeves and actually books and other printed items.

I am a recent Visual Communication Design graduate. I have a job now but I need to update my student portfolio to a professional one. Currently, I have a clamshell with all my pieces in wells. Should a professional portfolio be like this or should I transfer everything to book form? I would really like to know if the trend is book form. It was going back and forth between clamshell and book when I graduated.

@Liz

Web portfolios belong on the web and printed ones belong in the “real” world. If you have an electronic leave behind that the CD is going to have to plug into their computer to view, why wouldn’t they just view your website?

Create a small printed leave behind ranging from a 4×6 to a small bound piece that accents your work, but also who you are and your process (something that is all too often missing from student portfolios)
