Book 'em, Dano
I reworked my design portfolio using a book printed from iPhoto, and showed it to a potential client for the first time today.
To say they went nuts for the design and my work is an understatement.
With the price of web-based self publishing being so low ($30 for a hard-cover 8.5 x 11 book), this is the future of portfolios. A photographer or designer can easily print up a half-dozen of these books, customized to different requests and have them ready to go at a moment's notice. No more boards to misplace, no more trannies that need a lightbox, just a book.
The also make a 3.5 x 2.5 inch poocket book that just screams "promo mailing piece!". $3.99 each. Imagine putting together a book of the production stills from a shoot and sending it to the client as a thank you note.
