ACTORS PORTFOLIO
INITIAL IDEAS.
The main aims for this project is to have something that is easy to read and communicates the type of actor that Ben is. This is not only through the text that will be a part of the document, it will also need to be communicated through imagery and layout.
This piece will have to be deliverable so that studios and agencies further a field can be contacted. The fact that this CV will be sent in the post will make this budding actor stand out more due to the fact that not many people try this approach and send a lot of things over email. Sending a material version would be a great way to make an introduction for a relationship that ca then be continued over email and phone.
The mandatories for the Portfolio is:
- Headshots
- Contact details
- Experiences
- Details of physical attributes
- Education.
I sketched out a couple ideas, However I did already have an idea in mind that I knew would work.
Having a fold out document would be a very efficient yet stylish way to house all this information regarding the actor. The fold out allows me to work with 8 panels all on now sheet of A3 which also makes it cheap to reprint.
I made a mock up to look at how I could arrange the file and how each panel would work individually and together.
Page 1 - A title page (possibly an image of the actor and his name).
Page 2 - A page that lists the attributes of the actor (height, hair colour etc.)
Page 3 - Education and experiences
(Pages inside the fold out / all viewed at the same time.)
Pages - 4, 5, 6, 7 Images of the actor (head shots / action shots)
Page 8 - The last page that has all contact details on.
While I was figuring out the page order, I though it would be a cool idea to have each panel with the 4 head shots on perforated so then can be removed and kept on file, This would give even more use to the document.
I am really happy with this layout and I think it will work well in terms of ease, flow and costs.
