Read this quote from Thoughtful:
I have a portfolio surgery with them on Wednesday 25th at Urbis in Manchester. It's not an interview for a job, but a 20 minute chance to discuss my work with the director of Thoughtful.
Now, to begin with, I was thinking of taking in a small 'press kit' of The Work Of, something which Jeff Fisher inspired me to start thinking about. I wanted to include many of the things in Jeff's list, all presented nicely in some sort of nicely designed folder.
However, with overpackaging being hated, would Thoughtful think I was thoughtless?
Another idea of course would be to simply buy a cheap USB drive and stick everything on there. But because I'm very much a tactile person when it comes to design, this seems wrong.
So, what say you fellow designers? Do I go in with guns blazing, business cards shining, or do I go for a more muted approach and if so, what would you take with you if you had this opportunity?
“In a world of limited resources, we feel a responsibility to lead by example,†they say of their green philosophy. “We hate the idea of overpackaging anything.†In an attempt to practise what they preach, they print all their stationery in-house, “as and when we need it, using 100 per cent recycled paper and a bog-standard laser printerâ€.
