What goes in to a Graphic Design portfolio for college?
I’m applying to art schools and I’ve done some stuff with graphic design and I have no idea what to put in my portfolio. I’ve done things on illustrator, foundation drawings done from observation & still-life, things I did last year in my AP art class, black and white ink drawings done for "basic graphic design" class. I have no idea what to use. Anyone that’s applied as a Graphic Design major before know what they used in their portfolio? I’m thinking about RISD, Pratt, and Syracuse if that has any relevance.
When i applied for graphic design they asked us to draw on a certain theme
How about try talking to you art teacher if possible.
What the colleges look for is strong drawing skills, good use of colour, originality, a variety of subjects.
