Flaunt: Portfolio Works

Mar 9, 2010

Flaunt

Flaunt is beautifully designed

This weekend, I was happy to receive my copy of Flaunt by UnderConsideration. Much like reading about any other designer’s design-process, I enjoyed flipping through to see what type of effort was put into each portfolio, from typefaces used, materials required, vendor types and production cost. The book showcases 41 case studies, and contains some noteworthy professional interviews with names like Stefan Sagmeister, Michael Bierut, and Adrian Shaughnessy.

Overall, the book reads mostly as a resource for those who are looking to create more effective portfolios as a way of finding new work, but can be useful for even the more experienced independent designers as well. A good resource to have no matter what point of your career you are at.


“You should never consider your portfolio finished, and you should always be dissatisfied with it. The day you sit back and say, “My portfolio is great,” is the day you are dead in the water. Your portfolio requires endless work, and few things are more important than it. This never changes no matter how successful you have become. That’s really the only thing I’ve learned about portfolios.”

- Adrian Shaughnessy
