Summary: Creative this book is not
Comment: If you're in a design field such as architecture or graphic design, and looking for some inspiration or direction to help you with your portfolio, look somewhere else. This book is a waste of trees. The pictures are almost non-existant, and those that do appear are nothing more than clip art. The text is matter of fact and never strays from the blatantly obvious.

Summary: Creative this book is not!!!
Comment: If you are in a design area, architecture, graphic design or the like, don't waste your money. The word creative does not apply to this book at all. There are very few illustrations, all of which are horrible and the text rarely strays from common sense. I turned to this book to gain some direction and inspiration and recieved neither.

Summary: read this before you buy
Comment: This neat little 70+ pages book was a disappointment. Perhaps because I was looking for something else. I am writing this review because I don't want someone to make my mistake. See, I was looking for a book that would be full of colored photos and diagrams; I was looking for pictorial examples and suggestions of "creative" portfolios. I really wanted to SEE the ideas. What I got was black and white, mostly text with a few pages of hand drawn sketches and clip arts. I think it's a pretty good intro to "how to create a portfolio", but it still lacks a lot of information. One thing, it generalizes how a portfolio should be created. It seems to assume to you can get away with having one good portfolio. It never talks about how you should diversify/change your portfolio according to where you are submitting it to--a graphic design firm vs. a publication firm vs. web developing firm vs. newspaper. One of the biggest failure is in its information about submitting a porfolio for grad schools. It talks as if all Grad programs are looking for a certain type of portfolio. It never even told the reader to READ carefully, each school's portfolio requirements. Hmm..I don't recommend this book.
