Inspiring Designer Portfolio's- What Portfolio will I choose?

 When researching, "The makings of a Designers portfolio's", I found a majority were all online and not so much in print. Having both available to offer your perspective employer seems to be a beneficial way to go. I found an awesome Designer named David Airy now based in Northern Ireland David has touched the United Kingdom as well as The United States. Airy gives a unique detail to his portfolio including the birth of the ideas to the finished product. Which I found very inspirational. you can find his Digital portfolio at- http://www.davidairey.com/portfolio/

So your portfolio stands out and makes an impression.
