W hen I was in design school the whole carrying around a large black portfolio case was more or less on it’s way out. No one was displaying their work this way anymore, and if you did, you were dating yourself. But this was pre the iPad days so portfolios were still presented non-digitally. And a big trend was displaying your work as a book with examples printed on single pages and bound like a traditional book. I used a site that was intended to make photo books, but really anything can be printed between the pages. Well fast forward a decade and this trend is still going strong, only there are more companies to choose from and the end result is more sophisticated. If I were in school today I would definitely use Artifact Uprising.

They offer hard cover books with jackets, softcover books, boxed sets of traditional sized snapshots, larger single prints for framing, photo holiday cards, photo calendars, post cards and more! Everything is printed on beautiful, sophisticated, luxurious paper and presented in clever and appealing ways. In fact I am so excited with Artifact Uprising I am thinking of redoing my portfolio. And you know us bloggers…what a perfect excuse to do a book of all our looks, right? I mean how cool would that be! And wouldn’t be awesome to star in our own coffee table book? Prices range from $18 to roughly $100 so it is certainly affordable. Much move affordable then any of this would have been back in the day via an offset printer. I would be exited to see the books you, my lovely readers would create. So get your DIY on and make a statement!

These are amazing !!! I remember carrying my portfolio through London on the underground.. It was A1, HUGE heavy and just a nightmare to take around ! I have since upgraded to a digital portfolio (much easier to carry an ipad) however these are so lovely I love the little wooden blocks and box and I really like how they can be printed square such a nice design detail!!
Love it!
Really cool idea! I have been planning to print my portfolio book for quite some time now 😉

I have to agree, Artifact Uprising is a pretty great way to display photos. I’ll have to remember these for some home decor ideas I have for spring.
This is such an awesome idea, it makes printing bigger things (if that makes sense?) that much more accessible. Thanks for sharing 🙂 If you do end up printing a new portoflio with them, hopefully you share it with us!

It would be totally awesome to have your own coffee table book that’s done in your style to flow with a room that is all about you and your taste!
