quick portfolio question

[AdamDillabo]

i have an interveiw next week for a governors school and they said to bring a scetchbook or journal in. i have like 5 100 page scetch books filled. should i bring in a few, the best one, or make a binder of my favorite stuff.

[talmir]

I´d think a binder of your favorite stuff would be good.. Maybe 50 or so pages of choice sketches..

But I´m no authority on the subject.

[DavePalumbo]

a binder sounds good unless your favorite book is already fairly consistent. Just remember, you're as strong as your weakest piece

[Torgovix]

I agree with Talmir don't show anything that isn't your best.

[AdamDillabo]

do you guys think they are looking for ideas or tech skill when looking at the sketch books.

[DavePalumbo]

Probably they're looking at it more as a way to learn about you as a person. Do you draw alot, what sort of things do you doodle, etc. A big thing is probably just that you keep a sketchbook. I think ideas and technical skills may be a bonus, but they're probably looking more at your actual portfolio for that. Sketchbooks can be great personality indicators. Even still, you want to show them your best.
