In this tutorial, I'll show you an alternative way to make your own portfolio book. I will mainly focus on the cover and binding which will provide a professional look and an easy way to update your pages without having to make a whole new cover.

You are free to use this tutorial as inspiration for your own book. Feel free to alter some things, like the colors, materials or size, to suit your own style.

Tips:
• If you recycle board and it has large torn areas, sand it smooth. This will prevent the texture from showing through your cover material.
• At 5:27, it may help to add a little glue in the creases to ensure the material sticks to the board so air bubbles don't form.

Some online booklet printers:
