Having the tabs glue tabs instead of tuck in tabs, it's much more sturdy and less fiddly to put together, so it doesn't get all creased etc.
The digital version of my portfolio is under my photo to the right of this entry.

Then photographed the cameras sides so that I could impose them onto the template. Here are a couple of the mockup trial pattern and the template with images imposed before I take it to the printers and find out it doesn't work and have to make heaps of changes.

So I'm busy copying my OneStep Plus, will be interesting, it's quite challenging making a template from scratch, but exciting.

But I thought I better so here is a teaser of the first printing session. More to come after the next few weeks.

Bringing back the incident of the business man being hit by the bus I have this image to represent that. I'm going to add blood splatters to bleed out the tie, just subtly.

I was going to look at particular aspects of jobs I've had and the ideal job for me after I graduate. But decided to go with something a bit more general but still personally relevant, so I went with work shirts, the Hare side will be represented by a business shirt and tie which links back to the initial catalyst for my project, the man being hit by the bus. For the tortoise side I have been working on the shirt, which is a shirt of mine, more casual with the sleeves rolled up, reflecting a more casual approach to a creative job.

I adjusted the Quantity over Quality to suit.
