fat portfolio is good?

i've been putting my portfolio together all yesterday and today. it takes a while because i have to edit some pieces, print everything out and construct them with spray mount, then apply to boards and create pockets for folded posters so they don't slide around my case. i even cut thick foam board as carefully as i could to create what theron calls "cradles" for things like my magazine and cd package. i think i need to redo one cradle cause i need to fit one more board in and it's hard to close the case already, my foamboard was too fat.

but after all that, i'm looking at my work, thinking, wow, i'm ready for a job, or internship, i have the minimum of 10 pieces, i will have 11 after i finish the book for practicum, so it's 11 strong pieces. i'm proud of myself, i feel more confident putting everything together in my case, i feel ready now. i thought i had only 7 pieces but i have more. i still don't even have a letterhead page which i will create based off my looseleaf bag, and then i will further have a logo page . . . . . so . . . . . i'm good to go now!
