Portfolio Ideas

Messing around with layout for my portfolio pages.

- Book stretched across two pages?

 - Playing with composition.

-Simplistic. Less busy. Can focus on one design per page.

Adding a title page. Brings the design together. 

Same layout for Green Design. Change colour so that it fits design.
