Task 2 : Self Promoting (creative portfolio)

CREATIVE PORTFOLIO

2.      Book (paper)
In this ever advancing digital age, there's something very special about a well put together paper portfolio. Paper portfolios appear to be a bit of a rarity these days. But, thankfully, there are many designers who still recognize the power of print. Done properly, a handheld, printed portfolio can really make your work stand out and leave a long lasting impression. Therefore, we scoured the web to find some brilliant examples of paper portfolios. (2015)


1-      Italian graphic design studio Happycentro was behind this beautiful, handcrafted portfolio for modular merchandising systems company ALU. "All their products are mainly made in basic materials like aluminum," comments the team. "We then took inspiration from the material soul of these elements to develop ALU's ID. Starting from this basis, we chose to tell the brand through a series of keywords explaining their values." (2015)

2-      US-based graphic designer Nathan Hinz developed this beautiful, handheld portfolio back in the days before everybody went online. Each page is a window envelope, which displays an image and info of a project. (2015)

3-      Dyla Rosli is an intern graphic designer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In order to assist in her search for work, she developed this cool paper, info graphic portfolio.
                  Using matt laminated art paper, Rosli selected her best work and carefully placed images                     of each into this template, along with illustrations detailing her skills and personal                                 information. (2015)

4- Working in both print and digital formats, designer Emil Kozole created this printed presentation        to support the CD with his work on. Knowing that many discs are overlooked, Kozole made sure        the print part of his portfolio stood out. Covering different areas of expertise, the designer divided      the page into different categories and then, using transportation systems as inspiration, illustrated        the cover with different colored lines, with projects being each stop. If lines meet, it means                  projects fall into more than one category. On the reverse, each project has a photo and                         description. (2015)

5-      Is the graphic design studio of Yorick de Vries. Last year, de Vries created this colorful paper portfolio featuring a selection of his best projects from 2005 to 2012. Printed on three different paper stocks, the book is made up of three parts. The first features just information, the second showcases project images and the final section covering examples of the designer's custom made typefaces. More like a catalogue than a book, this gorgeous, hand bound portfolio is 227 pages of full color prints. (2015)
