<p>I am attempting to help my daughter with her portfolio. Her undergrad BFA was in Printmaking. She took a summer course in which the final object was to produce a book. She wrote an original story, did simple wood prints to illustrate it, scanned the prints in, had the pages printed by the university print shop, then hand bound the book and produced a cover an end pages for it. Does anyone have any ideas how to represent that in a portfolio. I considered using the book itself as the image and then a couple of the pages as the detail that's allowed for a couple of the items. It's a children's ABC type book, so it's not like it's a novel, but I think the whole thing would be too much. We can't find any information on this topic, so thought I'd see what the opinions are here. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Hi Scribbulus, That sounds like a wonderful project! She sounds very talented. Has she tried callling any of the schools to see what they advise? I’m no help, just wanted to comment on her book! Best of luck to her!</p>
<p>My D wrote some childrens books in HS, and I’m not sure how (or even in) she included them in her portfolio. I know they were not included in digital ones she submitted, and may have had a copy of the physical book in the sleeve of the folder-type portfolio.</p>
<p>If you wanted to include them digitally, maybe to just include a few pages like amazon does would work.</p>

<p>Talked to D and she said she had taken some photos of her holding the book, showing the cover and then several pages. She had to send a digital copy of a pop up book she did to a potential employer, so she did a video of someone turning the pages of the book.</p>
