Portfolio Design

The “bible” of portfolio design and production is now in its third edition, revised and expanded to include essential information on the digital and multimedia direction of portfolios today.

Whether you work in architecture, urban planning, landscape or interior design, a finely tailored portfolio is the most important element to include in your application for graduate school, a design grant or competition, or to bring to a job interview. In addition to showing you how to assemble a portfolio that will display your talents and qualifications to the best advantage, the third edition of Portfolio Design adds a chapter on digital strategies, discussing all the elements necessary to bring your work together in a digital format. Also new to this edition is commentary and analysis of selected student portfolios by three experienced professionals who offer unique insights to help you develop your own portfolio.

From formats, bindings, and cases to reproduction techniques, content, style, sequencing, multimedia, and the latest in promoting yourself on the Internet, Portfolio Design addresses every aspect of portfolio planning and production. Three-hundred samples nearly half of them new to this edition drawn from a wide array of current student and professional portfolios, both print and electronic, illustrate many and varied graphic design alternatives to demonstrate what will capture the reviewer’s attention―and secure you an offer. Portfolio pointers from industry professionals and educators complement the practical advice given by Harold Linton, who has taught portfolio design to generations of students. 23 color, 250 b&w illus.
