How to Create a Portfolio shows the many different types of portfolio needed for a broad range of art and design careers. Practical advise is given on how to put together a portfolio both traditional and electronic, this book also provides a great resource list for further research.' David Sims, Senior Graphic Design Lecturer, London College of Communication, The University of the Arts London Review 'I teach a portfolio class, and while I think a portfolio is a very individual thing, this book was refreshingly direct and simple in giving its readers concise advise and visual clues to what is possible and what a portfolio can be. The content is clear and well organized. I would use this book as my primary text in teaching my next portfolio class.' Christine Moog, Parsons School of Design, NY
