Now in its second edition, this guide to building professional digital and print portfolios now includes interviews with graphic design leaders as well as a "designer's challenge" section that offers a variety of projects and assignments for students. Myers (graphic design, advertising and multimedia, Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale) not only explains the basics of creating a unique design portfolio, she also covers resumés, artist's statements and cover letters. Hundreds of color photographs are used to outline both winning strategies and problems that may prevent a novice graphic designer from being hired. Tips are also offered on how to impress potential clients and employers during interviews. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
