Title: Helpful
Product review: The book was really helpful in terms of layout and organization of a portfolio as a whole. It was more specific than anything I have read before, which I found helpful because I feel like so much writing about making a portfolio says that you should make it look nice, but that it just depends on each individual person without much concrete information. It was a good resource and I felt more confident putting together a portfolio because of it. There is, however, a good amount of information that is now outdated. Most of the book assumes that you are making a print portfolio and only new chapters added for later editions acknowledge the use of the computer. I think that some of the material in the early chapters could benefit from having this information present throughout the whole thing. At the very least, the book does provide a lot of examples of good portfolios and seeing other people's work made me realize more clearly what I wanted my own portfolio to be like.
