Toward the end of design school, we had a portfolio review where a bunch of industry people came to the school to look at the student’s portfolios. Our instructor asked a few of us to help create a cover for the mailer they were going to send out to design firms, ad agencies and other field related folks. We didn’t end up using this design (although, no other students designed one, to my knowledge), as it seemed to violate the school’s dress code.
