At this point during the year, we have to begin thinking about our portfolio. I have done some initial research into what a portfolio is and what it should contain.
So a portfolio is my selling tool to communicate my skills to a potential employer. It is a set of pieces of work that displays my best work.
I used Adobe Illustrator to come up with the basic layout of my portfolio where I considered shape and orientation.
I chose to use a landscape orientation for my portfolio. However as I begin to gather pieces of work together, I might find that it would look better portrait but we shall see how this goes on.
I wanted to research into a little bit about book binding and being creative with the idea of my portfolio. It will then stand out from all the other black case portfolios that could be there at a job interview I may encounter one day.
Book binding is the process of physically assembling a book from a number of folded or unfolded sheets of paper or other similar materials. It involves attaching a front and back book cover, resulting in the form of your own book.

For my portfolio, I would love to take inspirtation from these few gathered images here of other peoples work and develop this and come up with my own cool portfolio that isn't just a bog standard black case.
