The portfolio case studies feature generous quantities of broad and close-up photographs; deeply detailed breakdowns of the materials, techniques, and resources it took to create them; and interviews with each designer.



Examples of self-promos provide inspiration in the quest to get noticed and invited to interview.



A new section on photographing your own work provides an overview of equipment, approaches, and tricks of five non-photographers on how to present, photograph, and retouch your physical work.



Interviewed professionals include Michael Bierut, Carin Goldberg, Stefan Sagmeister, Petrula Vrontikis, Adrian Shaughnessy, and others. They share their experiences and expectations while offering advice on portfolio and interview best practices.



Surveys answer common concerns like how many pieces should be included in the portfolio, how should first contact be made with potential interviewers, and how should the work be presented in an interview.
