portfolio - does size matter??...

<p>size, i mean, as in size of the drawings. currently, i think on average, my drawings are about 20 x 35 ish. but one of my past art teachers is telling me that larger the piece = more ambitious = makes you look like a better applicant. the problem is, im trying to make a portfolio in two months, and i dont have much time. is it really that much of a plus to make my drawings ridiculously large? (say, twice the size im doing right now?)</p>

<p>and a new question just popped into my head.. is using photoshop to touch-up images in the portfolio considered "cheating"?</p>
