Offline Portfolio

I want to create a portfolio of work, however I do not want it online on a website. What program is good to create a nice looking portfolio which would be ideal to print or save as a PDF?

It will be displaying text, photographs, screenshots of websites, and figures.

Is Word the best program to be using for this, or would something else be better?

You could always make a website and just not put it on the internet...

InDesign & Photoshop.

Possibly InDesign if you're up for it?

It depends on how fancy you want it. Word will do it but indesign would give better results.

I used:

Illustrator for the logo/misc elements
Photoshop for image prep
InDesign for layout

InDesign looks good, never heard of that before, I shall see if they have a trial to see what it is like before I buy it.

InDesign would be my first port of call. It is fantastic software.

InDesign is basically the industry standard page layout software these days. It's quite easy to use, but bear in mind it's first and formost for layout, not design, so you'll need some decent stuff to put in it
