Graphic Design for Architects: A Manual for Visual Communication 1st Edition

As described

This book has proven to be a an extremely helpful tool in both my resume development, and designing my portfolio. The book lists guidelines and has multiple examples of what well crafted student, and professional resumes look like. It proved to be a key source in creating my portfolio as well. As an architecture student at the Ohio State University, it was easy to follow and help me produce a stunning student portfolio with its step by step template guidelines and recommendations for type faces, page layout, and graphic display.

I had the pleasure of taking a Graphic Design course taught by the author, Karen Lewis, as part of a college architecture program. She was an excellent teacher and this book is essentially the lessons from that course in written form. It is a great reference for anyone in the business of architecture.

This is a solid book. The only thing it is lacking is examples. I feel like this book could've done well to have an additional CD or USB containing full resolution reference images of portfolios and design boards to better understand what sort of information is being talked about. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this to classmates / coworkers / friends.

Great book for architecture students making their way into the professional world. Shows great examples of competition boards, how to set up your professional portfolio and things like that. Maybe not so useful for architecture students to use for school purposes though, depending on your program.

I'm a professional graphic designer dealing mostly with print. I took this book out from the library because it seemed like a good resource. I'm very happy with it and fount it very useful - I ended up purchasing a copy.

Amazing book on getting into graphics for portfolios, resumes, and presentations! I will be graduating college in a year and this is truly a great resource for me as I am polishing up my portfolio

Really explainable in how to set up a presentation.
