Any ideas for a binder cover art?

Aug 27, 2008 by ♪♫ powderstardust ♥ | Posted in Drawing & Illustration

my name is katherine, and i wanted to add some art on the cover of my binder. the binder is white, but there's this clear part where you could stick some paper in it. i wanted to add something like "Katherine's Binder" or something, but i want something more artistic and some background. any suggestions please?

Print out lyrics to your favorite song, or use snippets of quotes and lyrics and collage them all together (I like putting them all in random places, but you could stack them neatly).
Also, magazine clippings are always fun but if you want to get something quick on the computer you could print out a desktop wallpaper of a celebrity or band or something.
Or then again, there's always the personal photo collage. That's a favorite of mine =]]
Have fun and good luck!

What is, in art terms a "binder" or a "vehicle".. please put it simply.. i don't know any terminology :-p

can you please tell me what they mean.. in words that, a beginning artist would know.

Basically, glue. The binder holds the pigment, or carries it, which is why it's also called a vehicle. When exposed to air the binder, or binding medium, dries, leaving the pigment on the surface where it was applied.

Acrylic paints use a polyvinyl acetate medium, which dries by evaporation. This is why they look flatter when dry. Oil paints have the pigments suspended in oil, which dries by oxidation (it reacts with oxygen) which is why they dry more slowly but don't contract.

What, in art terms, is a "binder" or a "vehicle".. please put it simply.. i don't know any terminology :-p

The "color," in a paint or marker or such does not, usually come in the form an artist can use.

Red, for instance, may be a powdered iron oxide formulation. But, an artist can't just brush powdered rust onto a canvas, so, the manufacturer will mix the red powder with oils and other creamy substances to "carry" the color, via the brush, onto the canvas. Hence, the term, "oil" paint. A binder is what holds the color in place once the oils dry, so that the paint will not, simply, flake off.

So, the vehicle, in this case, is the media called "oil paint." Other vehicles may be watercolor paints, or marker inks, and so on.

help finding unique portfolio binder for my daughters art projects?

Sep 26, 2008 by pegetto | Posted in Drawing & Illustration

my daughters b-day is coming up, and i am trying to find a cool, unique binder/portfolio for her to store her drawings, etc. in. all of the binders, etc. that i am seeing are solid black. i would like to find one that has a whimsical cat theme, or something in that genre(whimsy, nature, etc.)

any insight to where i might be able to find this type of thing would be soooo helpful. Thanks!!!

most portfolios are solid black, the others are for little kids, I found one sort of in the middle

What type of portfolio (art/graphic design) case do you use to hold your work?

Some people use the clear plastic sheets in a binder, some people mount their art onto matt board/foamcore and carry in a large metal or leather case... what is most acceptable these days?

The most acceptable is a binder with plastic sheets. I use the Kolo Calvin Presentation Book, which you can find here: http://www.dickblick.com/zz152/15/

One thing to mention is make sure the book itself stands out. Personalize it in some way but keep it professional. With the Kolo Calvin I use, there is a cut out square on the front where I can insert a logo or a close-up of one of my artworks. There are lots of other very nice presentation books on the market so check out the rest at the Dick Blick website or your local art supply store. Hope this helps!
