Every college and major has different requirements for the size and format of the portfolio. For example, the requirement of interior design major in Rhode Island is: 10 to 20 single PDF files, each size should not exceed 3MB. The requirement of graphic design combination is 20-25 works, in tif or JPG format, each not exceeding 2M, and so on.
American universities usually require candidates to submit electronic collections through SlideRoom, while British universities generally require candidates to send printed and bound physical collections.
In terms of processing, there is no grid typesetting, and secondary creation is carried out on the basis of the picture material, which turns the portfolio into another graphic creation. The final result of LCF's admission notice also proves that typesetting need not be formal, and no university clearly stipulates that typesetting should be aligned according to the grid in its portfolio requirements.
The typesetting of study abroad works is different from books and magazines. Grasp the ratio of each article (the area ratio of pictures and words), and grasp the overall good style, rhythm, rhythm and blank space. In every study abroad portfolio project, we need to make a comprehensive typesetting according to the creative process and ideas. It is impossible for the examiner to directly overlap the design process with the final work collection.
