Book Description

September 26, 2006
In today's competitive marketplace, the difference between landing a job and losing it is often a direct result of the quality and personal style expressed in a designer's portfolio. Drawing on the author's extensive experience in portfolio reviews and in hiring creative professionals, Creating The Breakthrough Portfolio delivers to designers all the tools and ideas needed to develop a compelling presentation of their work-and leave a potential employer with a lasting and powerful impression. Uniquely designed to address the entire creative audience, this innovative book guides students and professionals through the essential steps in creating a portfolio that reflects who they really are, an often-overlooked aspect that employers cite as essential information. Coverage includes a unique plan for defining your own "brand" or "image," with practical suggestions for translating that personal vision into a cohesive "marketing program" that gets results.

5.0 out of 5 stars SOOO helpful in building a portfolio, December 6, 2006
This review is from: The Breakthrough Portfolio (Paperback)
I had no idea how to present myself, or how to put together a proper portfolio. When I was applying for schools and now, when applying for jobs, I was having difficulty getting noticed. The tools in this book helped me land an awesome creative job... yeah no more restaurants. The book comes packed with photos... great for me since I'm not a big reader. And comes with a handy CD, for the computer savvy. I wish I had this book when applying for colleges, and then I might have gotten into the college of my choice.

Awesome in-depth ideas and a how too on creating a standout portfolio that gets noticed. In a very competitive world of design, you need every advantage in placing yourself for success and this book helps you accomplish those goals. The content is written not only for designers but anyone who needs inspiration in creating a way to get their work seen and noticed. I would highly recommend this book. Well worth the money!
