New in Paperback! Brush up your books and PDF portfolios and improve your understanding of what the current standards are.
Presenting one’s portfolio is where every designer begins his or her career. Therefore, crafting a portfolio, whether online or for presentation in person, is an essential skill for survival. Because a portfolio can make or break a career, it is vital that designers go out armed with all the right moves and materials.
This book talks both to the professionals who have both designed their own portfolios and those on the other side of the table who have looked at scores of portfolios, to uncover the tips and tricks that have won jobs, as well as the must-avoid moves that have lost opportunities. This book is not only a handbook for dos and don’ts; it also provides plenty of inspiration from a wide collection of portfolios, both virtual and real-life.
This book asks leaders in the field about the real-world realities of presenting one’s work for consideration and answers the question, ‘What sells and what doesn’t’?
