Customer Reviews

Enormously helpful in this competitive field

It is wonderful to have such a practical guide available to us. Trying to look professional and show off your work can be a real challenge when we are first getting started. My daughter who graduated from art college recently got this book and it has been a huge help to her. It is nice to have the hands of experience involved in this important aspect of both applying to schools and getting work. Thanks!

SOOO helpful in building a portfolio

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.
