Presenting one's portfolio is where every designer begins his or her career. Therefore, crafting a portfolio, whether online or for presentation in person, is an essential skill for survival. Because a portfolio can make or break a career, it is vital that designers go out armed with all the right moves and materials. This book talks both to the professionals who have both designed their own portfolios and those on the other side of the table who have looked at scores of portfolios, to uncover the tips and tricks that have won jobs, as well as the must-avoid moves that have lost opportunities. This book is not only a handbook for dos and don'ts; it also provides plenty of inspiration from a wide collection of portfolios, both virtual and real-life. This book asks leaders in the field about the real-world realities of presenting one's work for consideration and answers the question, "What sells and what doesn't."
This is the first book to take seriously (though not too seriously) the surprisingly neglected role of humour in art. "Art and Laughter" looks back to comic masters such as Hogarth and Daumier and to Dada, Surrealism and Pop Art, asking what makes us laugh and why. It explores the use of comedy in art from satire and irony to pun, parody and black and bawdy humour. Encouraging laughter in the hallowed space of the gallery, Sheri Klein praises the contemporary artist as 'clown' - often overlooked in favour of the role of artist as 'serious' commentator - and takes us on a tour of the comic work of Red Grooms, Cary Leibowitz, 'The Hairy Who', Richard Prince, Bruce Nauman, Jeff Koons, William Wegman, Vik Muniz and many more. She seeks out those rare smiles in art - from the Mona Lisa onwards - and highlights too the pleasures of the cute, the camp and the downright kitsch.
The first book to collect the work of the LA underground art world's favourite wunderkind, Elizabeth McGrath. 112 pages of full colour photos and detail shots reveal the exquisite complexity of her sweetly twisted creatures. Upon first viewing, McGrath's colourful mummified creatures are Gothic oddities, but their undeniable artistry immediately draws the viewer in to an appreciation of their tortured beauty. Each piece is meticulously sculpted, dressed and decorated in exquisite detail.
This is the definitive - and hugely entertaining - history of Weirdo magazine, the legendary Robert Crumb humour comics anthology from the 1980s. Weirdo took risks, broke barriers, and seriously offended the faint hearted. Ground-breaking and iconoclastic, it was an antidote to the times, a cult favourite show case for the counterculture.
