What are the things I need? And a rough outline on what to put inside?

Thanks?

I would think one or two small photos of your craft work at the end would be acceptable. Never know what might be needed of you when you're hired at a studio.

Your instructor should be able to provide a better guideline about what's expected in a newbie's book.

Any work you've done as an intern should be included. I suggest, for starters, showing work with original logos, demonstrating different styles & approaches you used to meet a client's needs. Remember to show them in black & white, as well as color.

Then, something like a newsletter, that demonstrates your use of text & making fonts appealing. If you've done any covers, be they magazine covers, CD covers, etc. include them. Be prepared to talk about the 'feel' the clients wanted to communicate. Have you done any website design? Include that too.

Good luck.

Just saw that you're entering design school. When in doubt, ask ahead of time before your interview what's expected.

All of the above still applies, just present work that you've designed for 'imaginary' clients. Show an ability to draw free hand, including any text & graphics you've done to date. If you doodle, include that too. Illustration is as important as your use of type.

If you have any familiarity with Photoshop, Quark or Illustrator, demonstrate that in your book as well.

Your portfolio doesn't have to be for 'real' jobs, as stated before. You can design projects around imagined clients. Just be sure to show several different approaches to each project (as would be the case in the real world). Then, mat them professionally, and keep them neat in a book. Your portfolio itself doesn't have to be a fancy one, one with string ties would suffice. Just wow them with your work.
