I've been teaching graphic design/communication design at Vision 21 Art and Design Portfolio School for a few years now and have been guiding students to create portfolios to get into art schools around the country. Past students have gotten into Art Center, Otis, RISD, SVA, Parsons, etc. Various projects are staples for a graphic design portfolio. Each project depending on the complexity can count for more than 1 piece. Aside from these pieces, foundation skills also need to be demonstrated.
Standard Projects:
•Poster(s)
•Type Poster
•ID systems (logo, business card, letterhead, envelope, web banner)
•Ad Campaign
•Book Cover
•Letterform
•Website (just design)
•Graphics Applique (t-shirt, home goods, fashion)
Advanced Projects:
•Packaging (includes template, id graphics)
•Branding
•Motion Graphics Animation
•Editorial-Sequential (i.e, magazine spreads)
•Information Design
•Exhibit Design
•Website (w/coding)
