Good Book

Ok, I just made a great sample case from gaffer's tape, bubble-wrap, foam core, and elmer's glue. Doubt it? Well, this is the quandry: such novel sample cases, full of some of your best design work and left with clients, can be seen as either very creative or just plain dumb. I am betting, of course, that my prospective client sees is as the former, and not the latter.

Most design-folk go with the standard black book, or maybe a stainless steel case, to show their wares. And I admit I have both here in the office, full of lovely samples. But when I gave--what seemed to me--a mediocre presentation on what my shop's capabilities were, I felt the need to deliver my portfolio in something a little unsusal.

I just hope it pays off. Even if it just brings a smile to the prospect's face, and lets them know that I mean it when I say I deliver creative solutions, I'll be happy.
