This is a very useful book. If you don't know anything about any soft for graphic design, I don't recommend it. But if you know a little illustrations, little figma/adobe xd, little photoshop this book is such a good way to help you make some project for your portfolio. I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to know what to put in his portfolio and everyone who wants to lnow what exactly to work on graphic design.
For me it was such a great help.
