With the graphic design field increasingly becoming more competitive, designers need to figure out a way on how to best promote their services. Creating project portfolios is sometimes problematic because of the lack of interface between software programs typically used by graphic designers and software programs that aid in creating portfolios. Not anymore. Graphic designer programs such as InDesign and Illustrator have the capability of exporting completed projects as
a PDF file.

While you can use cyberspace to showcase your work, it could be tedious to construct a portfolio that is accessible and readable by web browsers. Being able to export completed project files into PDF, it will allow you to customize your brochure and putting your best work forward. You can later email this file to prospective clients.

Just like any brochure or portfolio, you must select from your collection of completed works what you deem would best reflect your capability as a designer. You can also create themes within the portfolio wherein you can group your work accordingly. This way, the portfolio is organized and easy to review for clients. For example, if the client is interested in poster designs, he/she can simply turn to the page where you have executed poster designs. A general mix of works should be included in your portfolio to showcase your versatility as a designer. Organizing them according to the degree of importance would also be a good start.

Each work you include must indicate the clients name, a project description, what you did, where the client could see it or has the project received special citations. Along with the portfolio, you can also incorporate some information about you or your company, what you do and where they can get in touch with you. You may also include a list of clients that have obtained your services both past and present.

After you have done your selection, you must decide on how the portfolio will look. Treat this like you would treat any graphic design project. Keep in mind that this is meant to showcase your expertise and good presentation counts. Once you have completed the design, you can export the file into PDF while keeping the original file to allow you to make amendments in the future. You can use Adobe Acrobat Professional to collate the pages together and compress the
file into a manageable size.

Now, you can simply email your portfolio to potential clients. This eliminates the need to access your website whenever a client wants to view your work. With your portfolio in PDF format, the client can view it at his/her convenience without having the need to go online. It would just require a software program that reads PDF files. With your portfolio in a compact and organize file, it eliminates the need to flip from one program to another just to access the project that you want to show to clients. Online or offline, anytime, anywhere, you can easily access your portfolio and generate more business.

Founded in 1990, Dawson Marketing Group is a full-service agency that emphasizes an integrated approach to marketing and communications. It's a way of looking at the whole, where once we only saw parts such as advertising, research, promotion, public relations, trade shows, employee communications, and so forth. It's realigning communications to look at it the way the customer sees it. It means eliciting a response, not just conducting a monologue. And it means being accountable for results, not just readership scores or recall, but delivering a return on investment, not just spending a budget.

Not only did we deliver the results they expected, but it was easy to work with us. We listened more than we talked. We applied cutting-edge research to understand the unmet needs of customers. We developed the right strategy coupled with smart creative. And, we executed across the channels that not only made sense, but that fit the resources available.

Marketing Services Full-Service Or Project-Driven.
Not every situation requires a full-service approach, instead there may be times when you need a project handled quickly, done well and priced fairly. When that happens, call us. You'll not only get a "can-do" attitude, but you'll reap the benefit of having talented people go to work on your behalf immediately.
