<p>Thank you! I am just now seeing these replies. I talked to my Technical Theatre teacher and we came up with this format: Seperate the binder into different sections: Scenic Design and Construction, Propeties, Technical Direction, Lighting, and Stage Management. Each section will start with a ‘topic page’ that simply has the topic printed on it as well as a tab for easier reference when flipping through the portfolio. Then in each section I will have one ‘cover page’ type thing for each show that includes the title, company, and year as well as my job at the top and 4 finished production photos showcasing my work filling the rest of the page. behind this ‘cover page’ I will put any paperwork (renderings, floorplans, calendars, props lists, etc) I have for that show. If a show falls under multiple sections (I have done both props and set for several shows, along with light design on one that I was technical director for) I will include it under each section it applies to (changing up the ‘cover page’ photos to better show each specific area). </p>
<p>I am going to do what Theatre mom suggested (and I had been considering already) for one of my prompt books. </p>
<p>I also did manage to find some calendars and of course I still have all my props lists saved on my computer. I will probably draw up approximate calendars for other shows that I had created calendars for way back when. I am recreating floor plans and renderings for my scenic design shows. I am also making up some lighting plots for any of my lighting work (of course I mostly remeber how my lights were! I had to spend a lot of time with those!)</p>
<p>And great point about spending more time on fewer shows! That makes so much more sense! Thank you!</p>
<p>So things are coming along nicely. Just a few more random questions:
*sheet protectors- I am planning on using them. I have the nonglare rather than normal. I am assuming that is preferable?
*I was also considering mounting my pictures on the ‘cover pages’ rather than just printing them using photo corners similar to these ([Vintage</a> Photo Corners. Paths Included In File. - 255054 : Shutterstock](<a href=“Vintage Photo Corners Paths Included File Stock Photo 255054 | Shutterstock”>Vintage Photo Corners Paths Included File Stock Photo 255054 | Shutterstock)) (in which I case I suppose I maybe wouldn’t use sheet protectors on those pages?) Any thoguhts?
*My theoretical designs for shows I am not doing in real life. They would go behind scenic design and construction. Obviously not having finished photos, I can’t make the standard ‘cover page’. However, since I will have multiple papers for each show I would like some way to seperate them. I suppose I could make a cover page and in the place of finished photos just put in one larger, nice sketch of my set? And should these be at the back or front of the section?</p>
<p>Thank you so much for any answers you can give! And for the answers you already gave!</p>
