Will's Going Into Graphic Design!

I'm pretty sure about this. I think I might end up at FIT soon, because it's a state school and it's close. For now I'm adjusting to using the G5 at home and working on my portfolio. This is my second finished piece, which I did for my girlfriend. The reference is black and white.

For those of you who have gone to school for this kind of thing, I'm definitely looking for advice.

Yeah, I've got lots of other stuff--oils, guache, pointilism, photo manipulation, advertisement, web design, etc--in addition to the digital and pencil portraits I love to do. But aside from myself, I haven't drawn enough men. And I definitely need to do a landscape or something.

Ultima, if by CU you mean Cooper Union, I actually got into that for engineering. XD It would be funny if I was reaccepted for art. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try, they have a table tennis team, too, after all. =D

Thanks for sharing the portfolio. I'd really appreciate your input if I put together something like that. It'll be soon, I wanna get in some applications to the state schools ASAP. I'll transfer later if need be, right now I'm concerned with cost, because my parents aren't exactly thrilled to be supporting a 20 year-old through a few more years of school. ;_;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thanks Reference.

I'm actually curious what your background is, since you apparently just joined and don't seem to have put anything up.

I got up a basic portfolio page. It's only 9 images so far, I'll probably add a second page. A few of the images are placeholders until I dig up some more crap, and nothing links to anything at the moment. I certainly plan on including larger images with descriptions. The page is all I could manage with what I know, which is html tables and some java image flipping. XD What do you guys think of the presentation? I'm going to retool it a bit for lower resolutions (maybe with a splash page, I dunno), it's meant for 1280x1024 or higher right now.

Also tell me if it wigs out on you at all. It seems to work fine in Safari and Windows Firefox, but it keeps flipping out in Firefox on the mac.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So...wow, you sould have put up your own thread. =p You're really good.

I loved gouache back when I took art senior year in high school. I haven't worked with it in a while. The self portrait and the woman on my Dell were done in gouache. Most of the variety in my work goes back to that class, which was a few years ago. Otherwise I generally do pencil drawings of women and photo manipulation or graphic design. I'm not exactly concerned with getting into schools, I think I at least demonstrate potential, considering I took one class at the end of high school. But I would really like to make a good impression, just because I feel I'm far behind.

I'm feeling really creative right now, do you think it would be better to work on some more stuff for a couple weeks or just apply with the type of stuff I've got, considering I'm looking to go into my first year? I would love to do something really out there, instead of practicing my technique which is what I generally feel I'm doing.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate all the advice and information! I'm going to get moving on the applications now I guess, and hopefully do a couple smaller pieces at the same time. I'm applying for next semester, but fortunately state schools have a rolling application. So while earlier is better, I've got time.

I was speaking idiomatically.
