The curation team have decided to have a uniform black clamshell portfolio box that can be sized at either A3 or A4. They will be separated into sizes and displayed on shelves in the London show.

As we're going for a salon style hang in Copeland, you'll have only a few images on display, so the portfolio boxes are a good opportunity to showcase a wider range of your work and we highly recommend everyone makes one. For those who've signed up to have portfolio reviews it will also mean you can just grab your box off the shelf and won't need to lug a portfolio with you to London.

This will have your name on the spine of the box and a QR code that links to your personalised section on the Orbit website. (We will print these)

We also recommend a printed image from your project on the front of the box to make it more easily identifiable.

These are available in the art shop or there is a link to an affordable website here: (£22.50 - A3)(£14.90 - A4)

Please leave it labelled with your name in 2B18 in the box labelled photobooks/portfolios by the 30th May.

What should I include in my portfolio?:

(This is just some advice pulled off the web, but may be helpful for those who haven't made a creative portfolio before)

An art portfolio shouldn’t simply be a collection of everything you’ve ever created. In fact, it’s best to limit your portfolio to 20–25 pages. When putting it together, think about including:

Your best pieces and work you’re most proud of

Pieces that show your interests, personality and style

Pieces that show the breadth of your skills

Collections of pieces that have a unified theme

Spreads that show your creative process

A brief statement about your work or short explanations that accompany individual projects

As a part of the London show we've decided to include a business card holder that lets viewers see your work at their pleasure and have something to take home with them.

This is not mandatory but will help get your name into the pockets of potential clients.

The only thing that needs to be uniform is the sizing:

85mm length x 55mm height and the rest is up to you.

Please include:

name

email address

Instagram handle

You will need to organise the printing of your own business cards.

When they're ready please leave in the submission room alongside the portfolio boxes.

Unless you want to look like this guy come Saturday evening please remember to book accommodation in advance so you can save money and help over the weekend. We also suggest group booking on Airbnb to keep costs low or firm it and get into a hostel.

I've found that if you're booking in groups of 4-6 it should be around £120 all in.

And for hostels, I've found an 8 bed that costs £46 a head.

John says it NEEDS to be well-designed and executed or nobody will buy anything!

Figure out:

1) make a spreadsheet with each person sellings' name, items to be sold and prices

2) How will things be displayed?

3) How will payments be taken? (easiest to use Zettle machine, have an invigilator in that space and a clear price list. Sales can be written down and go into Orbit account then be paid back to people after)

4) Set deadline and location for people to drop off items to be taken to London

5) Confirm a ROTA to man the shop
