hey all
i just checked the archives for any post on a drop-off book but i couldn't find anything.
so, here goes: what does everyone use for a drop-off portfolio? e.g. one of those 11x14 perfect bound $20 plastic sleeve books?
a homemade concoction? a poster?
thanks in advance. trying to figure out someting in about a week here...

sweet. that or some kind of jinzy Hallmark card from some small town in Iowa. preferably with roses and teddy-bears.
yeah. that totally oozes of profesionality.
any real answers?

if you have the means to put together a nicely captioned, self promotional brochure with some type of interesting coverstock and/or binding apparatus, it will go far to promote your cause.
not being there when someone is looking at your work is difficult enough, however if you have project blurbs and descriptions, you'll have a leg up on those who just dropped off their 11x17 black leather portfolios without commentary.
plus you will stand out and you can always reuse the piece for any self promo you may want to do for side projects.

i never have dropped off my book and never will.
if someone wants to look at samples before they interview me they can look at pdfs. otherwise, i come with the book to explain and add commentary not letting the thing out of my sight.
i don't want some grubby art director or creative director hands all over my shit. someone spilling coffee on it or getting something all over it. skip that. not interested.
