How Long does it take to put together a book?

It takes thousands of ideas. It takes hundreds of ads. It takes 15-20 samples.

At the Chicago Portfolio School, it takes a year.

A year of your undivided attention working on a year’s worth of great assignments. A year with the latest software comping up the best of your ideas. A year of showing work to award-winning instructors and tutors.

Granted, a year is not a whole lot of time to put together a great book and time passes quickly. So we’ll have to work fast. And work smart.

But if you work your ass off, a year is
all you need.
