Portfolio Ideas

[glam8babe]

I need to make a portfolio for my demo/interview which i should be getting a phone call about VERY soon...

and i was wondering what i could use to make it look presentable, neat and not cost too much.

thanks in advance!

the best quick tips i can think of

• avoid before-afters if at all possible
• use professionally-taken photos
• mix it up! (naturals, bridals, editorial, high fashion, etc.)
• don't overload - top it off at 15-20 photos
• get a professionally bound book... you can get some great ones at art stores or some office stores

hope this helps a little!

oh, and try to stick with one photo per page (quality permitting)

I had an interview and I took in a portfolio which had a mix of different looks. And I tried to keep it with predominantly large photos for quality. Mac like creative stuff. Don't feel that it has to be completely 100% tidy or they wont take you on. Mine was a scrap book of sorts with lots of ideas and photos. Parts were professional looking and tidy and parts were just me letting my creativity show through. They are looking for: enthusiasm of the brand, a clear idea of what you are capable of... Good luck!
