It delivers essential step-by-step instruction presented in a manner that shows interior designers how to properly and effectively display their designs. This book also includes:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Color and black-and-white illustrations showing portfolio elements and options</p> </li> <li> <p>Graphic design concepts necessary for portfolio development</p> </li> <li> <p>Specific information for the design of digital portfolios</p> </li> <li> <p>Supplemental teaching resources that direct readers to a companion Web site</p> </li> <li> <p>Useful tips on the ways that popular graphics software applications can be best implemented for certain portfolio elements</p> </li> <li> <p>Samples of cover letters and resumes, along with discussion of job search procedures</p> </li> </ul> <p>With the aid of real-world examples, <i>Portfolios for Interior Designers</i> examines how a portfolio can be used as an effective tool for communicating with clients and other professionals.
