    Jon:

    My 2 cents. Like the overall layout. Very clean.

    Best stuff: Forward Montana, 3rd Equity Angels logo, Forte Music School, Wee Boppers.

    I'd recomment adding sketches to show process. I just scanned in pages from my sketchbook & cleaned them up for my portfolio.

    I also rely heavily on real samples. Esp. if you have any stationery, books or posters you're proud of. People can't appreciate nice production values through a scaled down porfolio alone, though it is a necessity.

    I always go for less in a portfolio. Your book is only as strong as the weakest piece. There are as many opinions on this as stars in the sky, but it's been my experience that 10-15 pieces is plenty. Even like 8 really solid projects is good. I personally have 11 in mine, not counting self-promo work.
