Promotional Package
Start by reviewing LOTS OF promotional booklets, etc. on the web. Use the special magic powers of Google.
You have a lot of options in terms of size, materials, etc., but you are probably better off using a size and format that are easy to mail. Think about these ideas:
Make your book, pamphlet or pages in a common envelope size.
Make it big enough that you can fit a CD in it.
Think about how you will include a letter of application on Letter-sized paper.
Think about how you include your business card.
Think about how long it takes to make a new booklet, insert, whatever.
Think about how hard it will be to update, or specialize for a particular job. Can it be made as a "modular" package, so you can insert different pages for different opportunities?
Make sure you include ALL the relevant information, including the following:
Your name, contact info (phone, address, email, website).
Your logo
Your professionally designed resume/cv, listing relevant skills, education, experience and references
A letter of application, specifically addressed to the opportunity to which you are applying, signed.
Printed examples of your work
Your business card
(optional) a CD of your work
What you need to do:
You need to actually MAKE this thing, and then photograph it.
What you need to turn in:
Submit the real thing, in an envelope, addressed for a particular job, at the end of the semester for your interview.
Submit the photograph of it as "Promotional_astudent.jpg"
