Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great to Sharpen Portfolio, or create a Porfolio
This was a required book for a senior level course I took in college. However, with a job change 2 years out of school, I found myself very pleased to reference it again.

There are very good examples of good and bad portfolios, and tips on what employers are looking for.

I gleaned much inspiration from the layout reccomendations, and the graphic portions of the instruction.

All in all, I believe that this is a great tool for those creating a portfolio for ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It seems outdated.
Make no mistake. This is one book written thoroughly about the process of making portfolio. I will give credit for that effort.
While some texts and advice are useful, however, there are a lot of written information that seems common sense e.g.) what is portfolio and why it is important.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Surprisingly Worthless
It's curious that this book is touted as "the bible of portfolio design." Although it passes as an intro, it's value drops off the face of the Earth afterwards.

What "Portfolio Design" is, is a reproduction of outdated portfolios and examples of templates you can find in any page making tool. It lacks any meaty, substantial analysis you'd expect to find in a "bible" of portfolio design:

-nothing on the theories behind print design.
-no explanation on the "whys" and "hows" ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - MAGNIFICO Y EXCELENTE LIBRO
lo recomiendo ...es el mejor libro de portfolios a la venta y esta muy bien dirigido al campo d ela arquitectura,,..sus fotos e ilustracion son magnificas..claras y explicitas...comprenlo....vale la pena increiblemente



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Starting Point for Gathering Ideas
First off, this is a great reference for people/architecture students who are starting up or refining their portfolios. It is packed with some excellent, helpful written guidelines and decent imagery of a wide variety of portfolios. The professional commentary/critiques of the case-study portfolios are worth the price of the book alone. I received the 2nd edition of the book 5 years ago as a gift as I was applying to architecture school (after I'd submitted my portfolio however!) and, after leafing through ... Read More
