The inspiration for this style of portfolio came from my desire to work in the videogame industry - styling a portfolio after a PlayStation 3 game case seemed to fit this really well. Also, I could include my showreel DVD in the case and there is space for the two portfolio and CV booklets.
The cover is inspired by a PS3 cover, redesigned to feature inspiration about myself. The barcode on the back, when scanned, reads "Hire Me" - whether any employers will do this is unknown but it seemed like a good idea at the time!
I believe this design will also work for other industries as it is a unique design and is a complete package. I want employers to get that "just bought a new game" feeling when they pick it up - that it has been designed as one coherent piece of work and inside, similar to music albums, there are notes as well as the DVD/CD centrepiece.
Printing a label on the CD also helps with consistent branding as it avoids the "someone just put a Tesco CD-R in the case" look.
