Portfolios are especially important for students studying Communication, Fine Arts, Writing, Education, Public Relations, and Marketing.

 

What does a portfolio look like?

Present yourself professionally and creatively.

  • Nice quality three-ring binder (with pockets, front and back.)

  • Usually fits 8.5" x 11" pieces of paper but it can be bigger

  • Well organized with dividers in order to easily find the different types of materials within it.

  • There is no one perfect way to organize a portfolio. It may have all of one type of subject; e.g. flyers together, or be organized by project or event. The key is for the owner to be able to easily access materials.

  • Has a style of its own – fonts, colors scheme. All fonts match, all backing pages match for the entire portfolio or for each subject.
