How I did it: First, I picked a bunch of pieces of art I liked and flagged them into an album.  Then I went through those and narrowed it down to 20 pieces.  Sent those off to get printed and the drug store messed some up so that lessened my total.  Bought a portfolio folder thing from the drug store and some transparent paper sleeves.  Bought some nice black cardstock.  Taped the pics where I wanted them.  Used regular labels and printed the info I wanted on them, stuck those by the pictures.  Picked some poems I'd written that I like best, cut them out and put them where they belonged!  Voila. 

Actually, it took a lot of positioning and repositioning to find the order and the places for each piece of art.  After it's all said and done I turned it in and looked at the photos I took of the portfolio and I put two pieces upside down (embarassing... but they're kind of ambiguous pieces...they look almost right either way). 

I spent a LOT of time looking back at work after sleeping on it for a night.  Slow process but it looks nice.

Lessons & tips: Be patient.  Sleep on it ONE EXTRA NIGHT (so that nothing is upside down).  Have people give you feedback (if you trust them to).
