I would just show the best pages from the piece. Perhaps the cover and two or three spreads. Also, show variety in the spreads you choose.

If you show too much people will get bored and move on.

Luke.

Agreed. I personally dont like to show anything digital if it isnt a digital work. Take pictures of the book from interesting angles which shows another layer of composition. The portfolio is just a preview (think movie trailer) that grabs attention. If they wanna see the actual book, they’ll have to interview you.

Don’t know if you are working on a personal identity but that will make you stand out and shows you know how to market yourself.

Pretty much just looking for a place to send people when they ask if I have a website. I know face-to-face interviews is where I’ll get a job, but a website doesn’t hurt as a preview. I don’t have access to the book as it’s being photographed entered into a competition. I’ll just go for the spreads idea.

This is what the page layouts will look like: http://users.adelphia.net/~dabailey/portfolio.identity.thumbs.png

and then I’m using Lightbox JS to show my work like this: http://users.adelphia.net/~dabailey/portfolio.lightbox.mockup.png
