Why? well I have a portfolio to get together for an interview this Friday and I must show that I'm serious business.
what you guys can do is suggest in what to put in my portfolio. I might disagree with you but hey, at least your helping.
on a side note, friday also means the release of the Wolverine videogame and hanging out with my good friends (beeeen a whiiiiiiile)
remember kids, I have a reason for ditching Pico day for the 4th time but you don't, probably. try making something fr the day and have a good week. Your favourite cyborg bounty hunter demands it.
so...uhhhh...here's a TMNT cartoon. I honestly just discovered this series right this second so forgive the random shits.
So you want to show people at a design interview you mean business? Peace of cake.
First of all:
1) Submit your personal best portfolio work prior to the interview. (Flash, max, films..) Don't wait and expect them to view these at the interview, they won't have time to watch them otherwise.
2) Bring portfolio illustrations or Art work to the interview - or even better - Screenshots.
3) Go all "Phoenix wright" on their asses and demand why you should have this course.
4) Tell them about work experience.
5) Tell them about the industry you wish to work in.
6) Have a conversation about an animation, cartoon or animated film with the interviewer, or start what you would consider as a "Mini-debate". The evolution of animation would be a good one. It boosts your chances of showing enthusiasm of animation history. (Eg. Gertie the dinosaur, how he drew on the film cells to make him appear in the same frames as his cartoon)
7) Throw in a white lie here or there.
However - a few things you should not do at an interview is bitch, moan or show signs of a huge ego or competition. You don't want the interviewer to see that.
You may also wish to consider whether or not you wish to alert your interviewer of freelance work, some interviewers may see this as you having already achieved your goal. Most interviewers are blunt that way.
Commisions would only apply if (however) you can get a good reference. If you know they won't give you one, leave it.
You probably should showcase your most professionally appealing work to your portfolio, along with your previous expierence with the things you would be expecting to deal with.
I have never been forced to make a portfolio, not even a CV, so I don't have all that many suggestions.

Guh, I have A Levels, I can ditch Pico Day till next year, I mean damn, college, what else am I gonna do?
AtroxChobatsu Says:
Any life drawing you have. It's almost mandatory for art portfolios, especially if you're serious. 15-20 page should put you inn the green.
Depends on what kind of portfolio.
From my experience and feedback I've gotten put in life drawing from models as well as hand and feet drawing.
Anything media related should include layout design (webpage, magazines, brochures.)
And then usually one piece that shows your interest or overal knowledge.

How you been these days MM? I hope your well. I also hope to see more flash projects from you although I have no interest in Pico day. (I hate NG)
