- Based on the graphic identity you have started with your business card create 3 or more "template" pages for your PDF portfolio. I would recommend horizontal A3 paper size with A4 as a second option. In either case, I would think how you could quickly rearrange and reassemble pages to make versions for different circumstances. Make sure to include:
