A new way to personalize your portfolio

Now you can order your portfolio with a custom sized inset to mount photos, printed logos, title cards and other printed pieces on the cover.

This a terrific, affordable and virtually limitless way to personalize your portfolio. Foils stamping and embossing are beautiful and very professional looking but the costs can add up and the process limits the color that can be used. With insets you can print out your logo or design in full color on the paper of your choice and simply mount it into the clean edged inset.

You may also mail your piece to the studio and it will be adhered to the portfolio of box at no extra charge. Visit the online store to get started https://www.kdbooks.com/store/

Wooden portfolios available online soon!

I’ve been getting many requests for wooden portfolios recently and because of the high level of interest I will be adding some standard sizes to the online store very soon, hopefully by mid April. The portfolios will be available in the same 7 sizes that the bookcloth versions are and to start will be offered in 3 different woods, most likely walnut, ash and teak and 3 finishes. The ordering process will be simple and foil stamping, colored cloth liners and pockets can be added to any wooden portfolio. The standard hinged pages as well as polypropylene pages will fit these as well. Stayed tuned and check back soon.

jazz up your applications in 2010

If you’re searching for jobs or applying to grad school programs and you want your application to stand out from the rest, what better way to catch their eye than presenting them with a striking personalized portfolio loaded with your credentials. When they open the package and see your name emblazoned on the cover of a professionally made portfolio they will know that you are serious and are sure to remember your name. There will be a lot of information inside the portfolio that needs to be the real star of the presentation so keeping the portfolio design clean and simple is the best choice in this case. Choose colors that say something about yourself, your work, or even the institution that you are applying to. There are 11 fonts available in a variety of sizes and styles that can be used for personalizing your portfolio. For a subtle approach, a blind emboss of your name in the bottom right corner of the cover would be a great choice. If you want to add some color and make your name stand out a bit more, then choose one of the 10 colors available and opt for a dead center or optical center placement. All of these options are available in the online store at www.kdbooks.com.

Happy New Year

I am excited to announce the launch of a new online store at kdbooks.com. It offers a large selection of semi custom screw post portfolios, ring binders and presentation boxes. Each design is available in a number of standard sizes and can be customized by making selections from various drop down menus. At this time there are 20 bookcloth colors to choose from however many more will be added in the near future. A portfolio can be covered entirely in one color or a second color can be chosen for the inner liners. Each structure can also be customized by adding any number of pockets or personalized with embossing and foil stamping. Take a look at the new site, your feedback will be appreciated.
