Question
Hello Sean.

I would like an opportunity to SEE some good advertising portfolios. Hell, even some that are just not half bad. Copyright too. I am looking into the books you have recommended to others but I am interested in presentation styles as well as content.  Can you recommend any sites or resources?

Thanks,

Tanya

Answer
Hi, Tanya


The standard we use, and that's recommended to us by many creative directors, is "Pick Me."

This will give you a good look into what CDs are looking for in your portfolio.
