Even though you will likely have the portfolio on a digital format, it is beneficial to comment on a few tips related to a non‐digital version of a portfolio. In part this is needed as a backup in case anything goes wrong with your DVD or USB. Some of these suggestions will be the same or similar to what was discussed above.

 Begin with a high‐quality piece or a project that showcases a whole project.

 Provide brief written descriptions of each item.

 Present all the examples consistently in either a vertical or a horizontal manner.

 Include a sample of hand lettering. This lost art is still important to some employers.

 Do not include poor‐quality work. Only include your best items.

 Include one or two clean copies of your resume and references in a plastic sleeve.

 It should end with another quality piece to serve as a “last impression” of what you can do.

 Store projects, drawings, models, and so on, carefully so that they do not become damaged.
