Good topic!

I have been printing mine out 10 at a time to pass out to friends and acquaintances. I have a lot of POTENTIAL clients and they are interested in my progress.

As I add new and more interesting work to my portfolio, I replace photos on the brochure.
I use CorelDraw and have really simplified it from what I once thought were simple colored blocks behind the pictures, to this.

Renee and I exchanged ideas during the holidays and this is THIS WEEK'S evolution of the multifunctional mini portfolio:

The back panel in the middle is designed as a mailer, which I mostly encourage them to do, if they take some, and the general pricing is on the inside flap.

I have labeled them by size, medium and appropriate price.

Some how it is not getting through. I start at 8x10 SINGLE HEAD and add 50%-75% for additional elements (to keep it simple) and many STILL don't get it that bodies are more than heads, and TWO heads are TWO heads.

BUT that is MY marketing problem, I should aim at a higher common denominator. Please, keep this thread going, it is very informative!
