Eisenmann, S. (2006) Building Design Portfolios: Innovative Concepts for Presenting your Work, Gloucester MA: Rockport
The author considers the concept of a portfolio from the perspective of a creative professional. The orientation of her perspective is based on her own experience of generating a portfolio, and the observation of others’ development. There is quick and focussed recognition of the wide range of media available to generate a portfolio of evidence, “send me your URL is beoming a more common response than send me your CV.”
Some sections dedicated to the concepts of a professional portfolio, and how content for graduates can often be heavily weighted by work undertaken as a student, sometimes suggesting the influence of a tutor. The author also describes other skills and competencies that a portfolio can be used to demonstrate, some of which are those of the author, some are more generic.
