Porfolio book

Ordered my portfolio though Hartnack & Co I know people who have used there service and know the quality of service I good, back and forth emails with them I could see the level of professionalism I wanted was there, they was so committed the to their company I was receiving email on a Sunday.
I asked for for samples being I was going for a portfolio that more suited to graphic designer rather the leather one photographers normally go for this is because its more sturdy and my work mixes graphic design and photography.

I went with the charcoal grey and red. I didn't want the portfolio to be black as I don't like business cards and promo stuff to be black I prefer a dark grey. Red was chosen as the accent as it went with the cover and my work.
Hartnack & co supply the inside with a free business card holder which will be handy to keep with me when I go see photography and retouching agencies.

As I didn't want my book to close on an image incase it scrapes and ruins the image and wont look professional I created the simple page with my name on to protect the other first page. I think it bring the book together it felt off without it, it felt missing.  



While printing the page above the printer trashed the first sheet! but lucky I came prepared with spare.
