Graphic Design Portfolio
**Portfolio Preview**
My name is Trent and here is some of the work from my College Portfolio….I graduated in December 2006 from Texas Tech University…I currently have an full time in-house design job with a stable company, and parttake in some freelance work on the side when time allows.
I posted this in hopes it could help anyone who is studying graphic design to prepare their portfolio for the real world. It’s a tough and very competitive field to go into, and your portfolio is your most precious possession to the rest of your career.
Good luck to any and all of you.

How do i start my graphic design business with not enough income?
I recently received my BA in graphic design my spouse is still in college and we are having a hard time already just trying to pay our monthly bills. I can’t find a job in my field so i work an on-call type of job thats pays minimum rage. i know if i could either find a job in my field that i would/could make more money for us. We just don’t have the extra income to start my own business up or have anyone to ask could we borrow it from so what could or what do we do?
Start it as a part-time side job. You may need to do some volunteer work and spec projects to get a portfolio of work to show your skills and ideas.
Use craig’s list to advertise your business.
Try to use the temp agencies to get your foot into the door in your field. Christmas season is coming in retail. Apply to many Mom & Pop stores or a larger retailer to develop a Christmas ad campaign and brand. (Including window treatments and store design if you have the skillset.)
You are going to put yourself out there if you want your business to succeed. It won’t come to you…
Print and What is the difference between graphic design and advertising?
I would like to attend SVA for one or the other but I am unsure of the difference. I looked at the curriculum for both and they had many overlapping classes. I would like to one day make advertisements for television by means of animation but i would not like to work with cartoons. HELP?
oh and also is SVA the best choice for a graphic design/advertising major?
Advertising is strictly ads. Like newspaper, television, ect. …. And can involve animation too.
Graphic design can be many things. like designing cd or movie covers. Or maybe design a new screen saver for a computer. Its an endless list really.
They go hand in hand because they’re one of the same. For you, go for advertising. graphic design doesnt specifically stay on advertisement for long, and is meant more as a starters place for someone who wants to go into advertisment
How much does it cost to study graphic design or animation in Korea?
I want to help my younger brother achieve his dream of studying animation or graphic design in Seoul, Korea. I did a search for a public university that has a dorm and accepts foreign students, I got one result: University of Seoul, they have a program for Industrial and Visual Design.
Any idea how much does it cost? Any other suggestions for institutes specialized in animation / graphic design? How much is the cost of life for a student in Seoul?
Thank you
silly seoul univ – not having it on their website…..will try to get it from friends….
