# Papercraft Column Portfolios Zupagrafika's DIY Creative Portfolio is a Simple Paper Project By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-portfolio References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2014/08/diy-advertising-column-by-zupagrafika.html) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/18454835/SLUP-The-Poster-Column) Rather than sending out a boring paper portfolio for its own work, the Zupagrafika agency created a [creative portfolio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collected) that truly pops. The 'Poster Column' was designed as a way for the studio to show off its own work to clients in an engaging and eco-friendly way. The paper project is assembled from 100% recycled paper and cardboard and it is delivered in the form of [flat paper sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi) that come in a neat envelope. This makes it easy to ship, as well as something unusual to receive in the mail. Since it assembles like a [DIY papercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-and-wallpaper) and comes with all of the essential instructions, the Poster Column is a fantastic way for the studio to celebrate its second anniversary and reach out to clients in a way that's not the norm. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Papercraft:** The trend of DIY papercraft allows for creative and engaging portfolio designs that stand out from the norm. - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** The trend of using 100% recycled paper and cardboard for packaging provides an innovative and sustainable solution for delivering products. - **Unconventional Marketing:** The trend of sending unique and unexpected items in the mail, like DIY papercraft portfolios, creates a memorable experience for clients. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Graphic Design:** The graphic design industry can leverage DIY papercraft to showcase their work in a visually stunning and interactive way. - **Packaging:** The packaging industry can explore the use of eco-friendly materials to create sustainable and eye-catching packaging solutions. - **Marketing:** The marketing industry can embrace unconventional and creative approaches to engage with clients and leave a lasting impression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Design Process Portfolios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viewport.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Eco-Friendly Paper Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-camera.md) - [Meticulous Paper-Stacked Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paragraphic-in-four-stacks.md) - [Paper-Inspired Artful Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-for-papirkunst.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Gamified Portfolio Builder Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portfolio-builder.md) - [Storage Box-Transformed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunks-and-blocks.md)
