BRIEF 11. LIVE BRIEF / ACTORS PORTFOLIO Layout development / front page
Utilising the head shots and applying them to the front page of the portfolio allows experimentation. It is important to make an impact with a first impression and this is very much the case in the acting industry. In these examples, the colour along with the positioning of the type helps build an intrigue as the face is slightly obscured. This means you have to open the portfolio to get a better look.
