School Help - Binding

[Aimster]

The portfolio should be professional in appearance, bound (not loose, stapled, or in a manila folder), and the work in the portfolio should follow the submission guidelines found in the syllabus. DO NOT use three ring binders, slide folders, or plastic sleeves for each sheet.

So what exactly am I supposed to use?

 

[FoBoT]

bound like a book

the part that holds the pages together is the binding

its going to cost you some $ , they want it "professionally" bound, like a real book

wtf kind of class is this?

they want a professionally bound book??

 

[Aimster]

So what am I supposed to go buy to do this?

She said none of that plastic stuff with the clear covers which is pretty much all I know if.

Grrr

 

[FoBoT]

you are going to have to take your material to a shop/printer or maybe kinkos can do it

is your material all electronic? (word docs, powerpoints, etc)
or is it a combination of pictures and text?

you'll have to talk to whoever is going to make it to find out what format it needs to be in

They probably mean this type of binding:

You can get that done at Kinkos for very cheap.

Thats comb binding, i would suggest velo binding. It might cost a little more though. In a previous life i was a large format press operator for 6 years. Just felt like sharing.
