Further Research within different companies.

Whilst looking for genuine leather portfolio wallets i came across this website called arrow file. They are selling a similar genuine leather portfolio case, as silver print but at a much cheeper price bellow you will find the product and the pice is highlighted.

This product can be found at:http://www.arrowfile.com/product.asp?pf_id=F3042

Furthermore after a lesson with Richard a class member introduced me to another website with a decent photo book size A3. Although i doubt i will be doing this i found it important to still include a little research for a photo book. Also whilst looking at photo books i found many website providing photo books, but no prices could be seen or a template without downloading software to do so. i Found this a waste of usage space on my mac so i didn't go along those lines.

After doing some research....

After doing some research into
*Photo Books
*Portfolio's and different types
i have looked at prices, sizes, quality etc, i think i am beginning to edge towards the route of a portfolio.my reasons for this is because with i photo book although they do look lovely and very professional,you are restricted to what you can have within them and the set sizes. Where as a proper good quality leather portfolio will last you years depending on the quality. You also have the capability of swapping and changing you images within your portfolio if your unhappy.whereas if you have a photo book it has been printed and there is nothing more you can do to change the images within it other than spending a large amount of money again and sending away for another.
Also the positive aspects of a portfolio is yes it lasts time,yes you can swap and change you images, but you are responsible for the way your portfolio is organised, you dont have a company deciding which pictures would look best where, you dont have a company to blame if a print is not well printed. You have but yourself to blame for any mistakes or un organisation.

With me doing Art and having to present my work in a a3 scale book/portfolio in college, this gave me the knowledge to know how to present work in an organised way. I am a very hands on person and i think an approach where i am in control of my work would be best. I have also decided to not go along the brochure idea i dont think it shows peoples work of to its best due to the restricted size.

The brief has been given.

Right today we received our brief, bit confused to be honest i need to have a long think about this project and what i can do and different ways i can approach it.
At this moment in time i fancy dabbling in the fashion on location, landscape, and a few others. Previously i had an idea of doing a fashion shoot in a children's play area in my local park i may revive that idea with the fashion on location.
My main concern right now is what to produce in the end i have a feeling that if i was to do a photo book i probably would be disappointed with the outcome. I am now going to go and research different photo books,portfolios, and brochures.
