@Pinky – we are unsure what academics will be looking for in a portfolio – maybe phone the college/school ahead of the interview and ask what they will be looking for?

The information provided above is really useful. Can you also explain how a student’s portfolio must be.If a student has to present a portfolio during the interview process of a college, how should the portfolio look?

The tips mentioned above were very much informative…… I got to know many perspectives of Print design which I had not taken into consideration earlier.

Many thanks.

@charlotte – It depends on the piece of work and how it is being presented, it’s difficult to give a definitive answer to your question without knowing what you are presenting or how you are presenting it…

Thanks

@ Christina. There is no standard size (we’ve seen them from A4 up to A2!) but we would normally suggest A3.
You could get a booklet printed but this would cost a fortune and may age quite quickly – you need something which you can update and customize quickly. In our studio here, we use a A3 ring-binder, with A3 plastic Wallets into which we slide printed examples of our work, mounted onto specially selected paper. We also have a lot of printed examples which we keep at the back of the ring-binder in case a client wants to see some actual examples.

Andy >> I’m very pleased with TSW WebCoder, which you find at http://www.tsware.net
It is a html & css editor with tons of great features.

A little more depth on the subject would have been nice – especially on the printed portfolio. Whats the normal procedure when it comes to size, it it normally a book you get printed, or loose papers with the work them. But overall a nice article.

@ Nickie – print outs are ok but most design agencies like to see some professionally printed materials which prove the designer actually worked on the project.

@ Andy – We use Wordpress here, which does take some customizing but the end result is pretty good.

I’m looking for a online company/website that i can use to show my online portfolio and website. I am currently using FTP software, but it isn’t easy and takes too long to edit the site. So what is the best website/company to use where i can edit the website myself?
Thank You.
Andy

When I show my pieces do they need to be the originals? In many cases I’ve done freelance work and the finished product was sent directly to the client. Are print out acceptable?
