my portfolio (haven’t finished the risd-specific projects yet): https://flic.kr/s/aHsmbUgb87
I’m applying to Industrial Design and Illustration. I know I have a very illustrative portfolio (unfortunately, I haven’t gotten any exposure to design/any 3-D work.) I applied to Industrial Design in my Dual Degree essay…should I try to do some product design sketches to add to my portfolio? (am i completely screwed r i p)
Honestly, I’m not completely sure what I should keep in my portfolio, what i should take out, and what I should add. Any advice on that would be amazing–thanks in advance! your help is greatly appreciated.
