This book is terrible. The projects are lame and uninspiring. If you really need to learn photoshop and illustrator go get the adobe “classroom in a book” series.

I borrowed this book from a graphic designer at work. At the time, I had just finished my certification and didn’t know what to do about a portfolio. I kept it for a couple of weeks, and then bought my own copy. This book is awesome! It shows you step-by-step techniques on pieces to put in your portfolio and reviews some skills on Illustrator and Photoshop. It also gives you some hints on some effects you’d like to make on the project. To top it off, you get to post your work on a forum and get feedback from the institution’s instructors! Definitely a must-have! Caution: this book is hard to get brand new since it is out of print.

This book sounds better than it is. Your get a web site that you are supposed to be able to download projects and then put on the site to get feed back and see other students work. When you get to the site, they are trying to sell you the book and let you read a chapter on the site. I wanted to use it to create a portfolio so I could start my job search. This was a waste of money. I still don’t have a portfolio and no help with creating one!!
I greatly disappointed and upset!!!!!

This book was so very helpful in aiding my desire to build a portfolio! It helped me learn more about Photoshop and Illustrator – plus gave me assignments that were reviewed and critiqued by a very helpful and polite instructor. This is more than just a book it is a full class at a book rate! I would recommend it to anyone looking for this type of work or just to improve what they already know.

Having taught graphic design for the last 13years, I am always looking for material to use as a reference or even text in my classes. This book gives many ideas on projects that students can use to create a quality looking portfolio for that first job interview. Even though I am constantly encouraging my students to go beyond the simple text assignment, many do not. This book my just give them that spark to do just that.
