Portfolios
We help produce affordable portfolios for many of San Francisco's top professional photographers and artists, as well as art students from institutions like the Academy of Art University, San Francisco Art Institute, California College for the Arts, and the SF campus of the Miami Ad School.
We produce the “guts” for you in conjunction with our pals across the street at the Taurus Book Bindery. You’ll have many options for the portfolios, from cloth or leather covers to customization like logos or names stamped on the front, rounded spines, rounded corners, affixed labels, adding pockets, and many more.
Once we have all of your choices, you’ll have your portfolio ready in about two weeks.

More General Info On Portfolios
Career portfolios are used to plan, organize and document education, work samples and skills. People use career portfolios to apply to jobs, apply to college or training programs, get a higher salary, show transferable skills, and to track personal development. They are more in-depth than a resume, which is used to summarize the above in one or two pages. Career portfolios serve as proof of one's skills, abilities, and potential in the future. Career portfolios are becoming common in high schools, college, and workforce development. Many school programs will have you create, update, and use a career portfolio before moving on to the next level in life.
Career portfolios can be used to obtain a job or acceptance into higher education institutes. A career portfolio should be personal and contain critical information. Items that should be included include (but are not limited to) personal information, evaluations, sample work, and awards and acknowledgments. Career portfolios are often kept in a simple three-ring binder or online as an Electronic portfolio and updated often. A career portfolio is used as a marketing tool in selling yourself for personal advancement. In some industries, employers or admission offices commonly request a career portfolio, so it is a wise idea to have an updated one on hand.
An artist's portfolio is an edited collection of artwork intended to showcase an artist's style or method of work. Typically, the work reflects a depth in one area of work.
A key component is the editing of work. Regardless of the depth of an artist's, the editing process allows for a clean, concise presentation to the intended audience. You can add from basic knowledge of your art in your visual like resume in portfolio. Sometimes, an artist portfolio can be referred to as a lookbook.
A lookbook is a collection of photographs compiled to show off a model, a photographer, a style, or a clothing line. It is an especially popular term with "fashion bloggers.”
Lookbooks in their online form can be described as "fashion diaries" because bloggers are constantly updating them on a daily or weekly basis. However, sometimes they are made to compile the looks of other people such as a celebrity, politician or socialite. They can also be used as an artist's portfolio.
