Graphic Design for Architects: A Manual for Visual Communication

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.

As described

Great book to help students through learning graphic design. Only downside was checking your grammar and spelling errors. I caught a few.

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

it's my bible. i would definitely recommend not just for architects but any designer looking to beef up their graphics.
