Design & Architecture•5 min read
Introduction
For a student at NID (Ahmedabad) or SPA (Delhi), your portfolio is your identity. A poorly printed portfolio with washed-out colors or cheap paper can ruin your Jury Week. OnlinePrintout.com brings professional-grade Digital Offset Quality to your desk.
1. The Paper Matters: 170 GSM to 300 GSM
Texture & Weight
Glossy Art Paper (170 GSM): Best for fashion illustrations and product photography. Colors pop.
Matte Card (250-300 GSM): Ideal for Architectural renderings and minimalist layouts. Non-reflective, premium feel.
2. Binding for Juries
Wiro & Perfect Binding
Wiro Binding: Allows the portfolio to lay flat 180 degrees. Essential for showing wide panoramic sketches.
Softcover Perfect Binding: Gives your portfolio the look of a published magazine. Great for final year graduation projects.
