Each of you who plan to apply to major in Graphic Design will be given some paperwork to fill out prior to turning in your portfolios.It will be explained to you in detail what you'll need to turn in along with your work from GrD3000, GrD3150 and GrD3200. If you choose you can also turn in a small selection of work that might include some drawings/illustrations/photography/printmaking.
There should be around 15-18 pieces of work (give or take.)
Those faculty who have taught any of the introductory graphic design classes will be a part of the selection process. Those include: Jason Snape, Ricky Warren, Carrie Brown, Paige Taylor, Liz Throop, Jeff Boortz and Stan Anderson.
You leave your work.
Individual Instructors will come in during the next few days to individually review your work.
Then Instructors will gather again to compare notes.
Instructors will discuss the work you left for review and also how each of you were as students during the classes. Things that come up during that conversation might be absences, leadership, critique participation, experimentation, and even personality.
Each portfolio must have the majority of votes of the faculty to be chosen.
Think about this as you prepare your work:
Keep it simple and clean presentation from start to finish regarding how you present your work.
Design really is nothing more than problem-solving, Improvising, experimenting, being resourceful and finally enjoying what you do.It all comes through. You should also be kind to your fellow classmates as you speak of them.
You never know perhaps one day you'll be interviewing for a job at a place you really want to work and there is the person you might have spoken badly about in your class so many years earlier. They might forgive you but they seldom forget. Choose what you have to say about your fellow classmates wisely.
The Design world is small and it's a very interconnected discipline so don't burn your bridges.
