<p>Hi, Blaserk:</p>
<p>It sounds like your portfolio is taking shape. I applaud the time and care you are taking with it and I think your auditors will too. Many of your questions are a matter of personal taste but I will answer as best I can. I am a graphic artist by profession so my answers are based more on my experiences with my own book than on my daughter’s portfolio. </p>
<p>Photo corners will look dated: avoid them. Even if you like a vintage look, you don’t want auditors to think you’ve settled on a single style in high school. Sheet protectors may hold your photos in place in a small portfolio (letter-size, give or take). Avoid mounting if possible. If not, look for adhesive dots. They inflict minimal damage on your pictures. </p>
<p>I think a cover page with a sketch sounds better than one with just a title and I think you should group everything by play to show that you know how to follow one design idea through different aspects of a production. Auditors will want to know what they’re looking at so definitely give the title of the play first.</p>
<p>Again, best of luck and you’re more than welcome.</p>
