I currently am getting a degree in Graphic Design as well, and I would put in thumbnails of drawings, some photoshopped images may do well, depending on what they are!. Figure drawings do very well and just basic 2-D stuff helps a lot!.I would put some things that are both representational and non-representational, B/W and color, A self portrait may be good as well!. Logos are a big thing, and even having a new way to package an existing product may help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes, you should add your thumbnails!.!.!.they like that sort of thing!. They like to see you have some rough sketches and then the final product side by side!. I'm a graphics designer and they told me I was the only one they interviewed who did that!.

also, you may want to include like color separations, and stuff on that lineWww@QuestionHome@Com

He's right, potential clients or companies want to see that you can not only design on photoshop, but have a creative ability and can draw as well!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
