//My daughter is all about photography and graphic design - is it alright if there is’t anythimg else in the portfolio?//

Many successful designers do not have well developed skills in traditional media, but I would recommend a little more diversity if possible. Maybe a little mixed media? Art is about having fun. It doesn’t need to be highbrow all the time.

Might be a nice change of pace if your daughter’s portfolio is primarily digital. BTW, there are lots of books and resources online. There are a lot of BAD examples as well - as it seems many scrapbookers have moved into book alteration. Much of it is heavy handed.
