The Portfolio Handbook – Computer Arts Presents – Creative Portfolio & Career Guide

A practical creative-industry handbook focused on building, presenting and promoting a strong professional portfolio. Published as part of the Computer Arts Presents series, The Portfolio Handbook brings together advice for designers and other creatives on selecting work, creating effective digital and print portfolios, developing showreels, getting your work seen, and presenting yourself professionally.

While some of the specific platforms and digital references reflect its era, much of the underlying advice remains surprisingly relevant — particularly the sections on curating your strongest work, tailoring a portfolio to its audience, presentation, professional visibility and promoting creative work.

The interior has a distinctive editorial design using black/grayscale imagery, typography and illustrations with bold spot-colour accents. This also makes it an interesting source for clippings, collage, gluebooks, junk journals, scrapbooking and other arts & crafts projects.
