about the author: presentation

 In honesty I wasn't sure how much emphasis in the module there was for the presentation folder for the prints so focused more on practicality than aesthetic, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing as the prints are of utmost importance and need to be kept safe!

I decorated it a little, making the masking tape not quite so obviously masking tape and adding a small drawing to the front- although I'm not sure if I regret that part. It looks a bit clumsy and I'm not sure if the writing suits the project or is even necessary to the folder. The piece of string looks a bit too long and gets in the way making it look messy but needed to be that long because of the way I constructed the folder. In hindsight I just would have planned it and thought of a better way to construct it- for practical and visual reasoning.

It was suggested I separate the prints in the folder as lino prints in particular can stay tacky and rub ink off on to each other. I tried this first with tissue paper but it was very fiddly to open and close and would rip and bend within the folder. The pieces of paper might not look as good but they keep it safer and make them easier to handle.

I grouped sets of print together mostly by date and method and attached small labels to them- the labels also act as a barrier between the clip and the prints protecting them a little from crease marks.
