photo books, slick or scrapbooky?

fordje

I am getting ready to print my portfolio for graduate application and was considering having photo books made. I would plan on augmenting the cover an making cases so it would not be devoid of package design, but I still somehow feel like it would seem thoughtless and expensive. The run around 30$-40$ each.

I guess my questions are: Is it a cop-out? How does it compare price-wise? Are 20 pages enough? Are my suspicions of it being a crafters' format valid?

Any advice would be appreciated.

In between. Plain black cover. Make it yourself.

Try also blurb (www.blurb.com).

Or if you can access to Apple's Aperture, I think there are templates to let you print your own on an inkjet printer.

I also have the same questions about this.. although I was not looking at these sites. I like the blurb one. thats pretty slick. I think snapfish and lulu were some I was looking at.
