While scrolling through the magazine 'how' 2008 edition, I came across this advertisement. It's an ad for the Academy of Art University. Right away it caught my eye because of the large scale canvas the student was working on. The text is talking about how important a portfolio is for a artist. "My portfolio is me, everything i am and everything I'm not. Its my weakness and my strengths" For artist, this is very true. An artist's portfolio will make or break their careers. Its what employers and schools will ask to see before they are accepted.
