When I first began constructing my portfolio I had no clue what professionals would be looking for and so I spent an evening with a friend and professional designer going through agency portfolios with her outlining what most places were looking for.
She showed me a few examples and talked about adding renders to demonstrate photoshop skills and sketches to demonstrate the ability to draw as well as showing development of an idea. She also showed me different graphic design agencies to look into for when I graduate and outlined what I would need to do to get into each agency and how they could help me find a design job.
The evening proved very helpful, it was incredibly useful to have a professional at hand who I could ask questions too in a more casual and relaxed manner. I took plenty of notes and hope to apply her advice in the months to come.
