Description
Your resume and cover letter, as well as a digital portfolio, business card and mailers, will function as the first contact and impression
you make. These items will work to get your "foot in the door." Ultimately, however, it will be your portfolio book or online portfolio
website that will land you the job. The creation of your own portfolio is a creative statement about the value you place on your work
and craft. This book first uses a system to:
* find your visual identity, who YOU are
* use color, typography, and iconography
to develop the look and feel of your portfolio package
* create a layout and composition that you love
* establish your online
presence
* create content and design of your resume and cover letter
* construct your portfolio book.
With hundreds of inspirational
photos to guide you, you will also learn bits of useful information along the way about print resolution, marketing ideas, and how to
do all of this on a budget. By the end of this book, you will have an out-of-this world portfolio that you will be able to use to
establish and secure working relationships with potential employers and clients.
Audience
* recent photography/art student graduates searching for work
* professional photographers/artists that need help with their portfolios
* students in in photography/art programs who are working on completeing a portfolio for the course or to obtain an internship
