Hi really desperate for advice here anything that is relevant to vcd would be amazing in particular. I want to do an a2 folio but im worried about it becoming a hassel to get around and store so i was wondering what you all went with for your folio also any other tips about possible design ideas. as i have just started vcd 3/4 and have heaps of holiday homework already!

Thanks

Don't get the A2 folio. The pages just start falling out of them. For VisCom, just get an A3 folio or a ream of A3 paper and then an A3 display book to put it all in just before you hand it in. This helps you re-order and re-organise everything and just looks neater.

I used an A2 folio for art and hated it. I had to take the bus for 2+ hours a day and it meant I left it at school a lot. The back cover fell off, I taped it back together but it was never the same. I used A3 folios for VisCom and it was so much easier to take them home.

Yeah get the A3, A2 is will just be a big pain in the ass to lug around. Definitely get the 'display book' type folios as opposed to a sketchbook one - you will probably need to reorder or add pages to make sure it all flows nicely at the end and this will be very difficult if you can't move pages.

I don't know of anyone that used A2 in highschool  for VCD as it was such a hassel and it costed a lot to get things printed.
A3 is the standard.
