Hi again. Hope tha applications are coming along for everyone applying. So would anyone be willing to share how they are physically presenting their portfolio? Book, binder, etc. I am wondering what the best format is and open to ideas.

Thanks so much for all the input! I will definitly check out “Mastering Autocad” for sure. Are there any resources out there specifically for LA in Auntocad?
