Portfolio Layout Ideas

- Bright colour against black and white
- Little note on the back saying that you'd love to work with that company - something extra, stands out.
- Textures - making the most of a physical portfolio.
- Strong, bold typography

 - Fold out portfolio. Going away from usual formats. Adds interest and originality.

- Colourful, vibrant, energizing - looks appealing.
- Good quality materials.
- Another unusual fold.

- Clean layout.
- White background.
- Pops of colour (which match the image) with the yellow text.

- Images on top half, text below.
- Image continues over page.
- Diagonal layout with images.

- Textured front cover.
- Book layout.
- Contents page.
- Good quality paper.

- Collage image spreading across two pages.
- Consistant colour theme.
- Artistic expression.

- Engraved logo/name.
- White - sophisticated, sleek.
- Again making the most of a physical portfolio.
