Portfolio time!

So I've been working on my cover and layout for my portfolio. Right now I'm just laying things out and whatever cover I end up choosing, I'll give it the aesthetic I gave to the cover so it can tie well together. Portfolio is going to be 19x13.


This one is a simple cover with my logo, but one thing I did was have outlines shadowing it, plus using the colors CMYK. I feel that it does pop out pretty well and is attention grabbing. Question is, should I leave it as is or does it need information?

This cover I used the same style as my pencil packages (self promo). I'm not sure if it works as a big book cover, though.

Whatever I pick, I will have them silkscreened on bookcloth and then make it as a nice hardcover for better durability.

My layout sofar.













I think as part of self-promo, I'll add a business card, letterhead, and envelope.

I'll add more details once I figure out the cover.

everything looks really nice, maria.

not fond of that heavy bar along with the project descriptions.

and, feel you could do a better job of explaining the project in the text.

concise, but informative.

what was the problem?

how did you solve?

products--perhaps mention target audience and purpose for redesign or design.

you can make the latter up--

just sounds more professional to explain a bit.
