A portfolio should sum up the work you have done and the impression you are trying to give. Generally speaking ,if you are a web designer, a portfolio fo print work would be less relevant than your web design work so you would promote your web design work over your print work.
Think of it like a colourful CV/resume. You would taylor it to the job you are ...

Common sense would indicate that:
if you are going for an "adult entertainment" related job, then do include such works in your portfolio and in your resume
if you are going for a non-adult job, then don't include such works in your portfolio or your resume.
If you regularly go for both types then by all means have two separate portfolios and resumes. ...

Here my two cents...
Typically, there's some sort of agreement or contract laid out. If there is no contract, legally, I don't believe there's anything the client can say or do. I mean, there's nothing to prove anything.
Often times an artist may also specify that they may use the work as part of their portfolio. Other times a client may buy exclusive ...

Follow e100's advice. Here's why: you have (or your client has) a budget, and the difference between the cost of a standard job and a custom job is substantial.
The cut lines in a template are called die lines. They are your guides to where the cuts will be made. Your folder will be made from card stock which will be cut after it's printed using a cutting ...

I'd absolutely never include anything from the adult entertainment industry in any portfolio unless I was applying for another position in the adult entertainment industry.
And I don't say that because it would offend me. I say that because you never know who it will offend.

this design is boring and probably shouldn't be shown to prospect employers

Suggestion 1:
Create a PDF file with your work and out it somewhere online.
Suggestion 2:
Find a simple wordpress, textpattern or drupal theme, install it on your server and enjoy!
(for this option you will need basic coding skills or a html/css coder(maybe a friend?).
Suggestion 3:
Create a facebook page and then use this facebook plugin to embed it into ...

I've found to truly be designed and have control one must create something unique and avoid prepackages services or scripts.
I don't necessarily think using some CMS (Wordpress, Drupal, et. al.) is a bad thing. But there's simply too much given up to those packages. And if one does not rework most of the front-end at least, everything still looks like a ...

I saw many websites that were prepared for portfolios only and most of them were too dynamic for me to pay attention to any of the drawings/photos/graphics.
If you would like to keep the programming minimal you may want to prepare a pdf file; I have a pdf portfolio and send it to clients who requests graphics. You can easily put it in your website too.

There's nothing on your portfolio and and the bottom at least in Safari is touching the bottom of my browser. Could really use a buffer area at the bottom so that I can scroll down to make your contact info more towards the middle of my screen. Otherwise its very minimal but has good use of typography in my opinion. Hard to say if its enough without a ...

Ryan,
SlideRoom is a flexible system that can be used by schools in a number of ways. Since there is no single correct way to prepare a portfolio, it is critical that you read the school's instructions. These will often be posted on their main website, or on the Media step within their SlideRoom portal.
As a rule of thumb, you should use individual jpgs ...

I would check out some Graphic Design forums. They're different from Stack Exchange because they don't constrain to a QA format. Look around a few of them first and sign up for the one with lots of recent activity. I'm a member of one that's been around for about 15 years now but at this point we don't even talk much about design anymore and are just all ...

The easiest way to do this is still by hand. To avoid too much "as-you-think" perspective there are a few things you can do:
Start transforming with the perspective tool and make corrections
with the free transform afterwards.
Take a picture of a slightly turned paper (e.g. business card)
and then match the corners with your shot, essentially imitating the

Ask your printers first, they should have tried and tested cutting guides which you can use or adapt. Adapting will probably cost you more, as the printers will have to make a new physical cutting plate up.
You are looking for trouble by designing one from scratch with no experience, especially if it's anything at all complex (like pockets). There are ...

Speaking generally, the copyright belongs to the artist unless they "give" their rights away (contractually or otherwise) or they produce the work as a "work for hire". The term "work for hire" has a very specific meaning in the US.
Here's the AIGA's take on copyright ownership.

As portfolios go, 11x17" prints are not particularly large. When showing them, they would not normally be too big to handle. As to whether the size bothersome to carry about, well, that depends on how you feel about it. A smaller size will not be as effective for many purposes, but can work just to communicate the look of individual pieces for selection ...
