Portfolio Ideas

My portfolio idea consisted of creating business card sized examples of my work to then display so that they fanned out:

To be able to do this design I needed to find quotes from companies who would eyelet the business cards. After contacting different companies I had a quote for £859. This was beyond my student budget and so I thought of ways to do this myself.

Eyeleting machines can be bought from lots of different retailers:

I watched and read many things on how to eyelet and considered giving it a trial run. However, when I went to order my business cards I came across this:




This is a business card holder which fans out. It did not work in the same way that I had hoped but I felt with the time given it could work.

I idea would be to place one of my business cards either side of the middle slot to show both sides and then insert my portfolio in the middle.
