Hi Nr
a great way to start out creating your portfolio and building a small client list at the same time is by taking a drive around your neighbourhood, and find all those existing businesses that have rubbish logos and redesign as you see fit. Develop a set of stationary and maybe a homepage layout. Do this for 6 companies and build up your portfolio. When you are happy then take a wonder in to there businesses and show them what you have done, offer the design at a discounted rate and ask for a testimonial.
Pay these people a regular visit every 3 months and i can assure you will win them over as a client over a period of time if not immediatly and develop a professional portfolio.
Every portfolio should contain three examples of branding, three web layouts, three page spreads, three alternative design and a few examples of photography and where the images were used on a design.
