Today a prospective GRADUATE STUDENT asked me what "problem solving" is in graphic design and how she would incorporate that into her portfolio. smh /facepalm

"If you're interested in graphic design, you can keep up with the latest trends in the field by following these graphic designers and maybe learn a few tricks along the way. While not all of them are exclusively graphic designers (as in, they are usually also writers, art directors, creative directors, artists, and more), they all make the conversation online worth being a part of. Why wouldn't you take free advice?"
Graphic designers should try and show a good range of both professional (or academic) work and personal projects in their portfolio.

There is a distinct difference between "graphic design" and "desktop publishing."
Things that immediately grab my attention when looking at design portfolios: heart, personality, humor, passion and honesty.
Some interesting tips you have here! I've currently already secured a place at a design university of choice (and due to certain obligations have had to defer for three years). In this three years I've created a huge amount of work, and would like to resubmit an updated portfolio for scholarship consideration. I do everything from graphic design to photography to motion graphics, and I'm wondering if I should show that breadth in my submission, or if I should focus on a single vein of work? :)
Design programs sometimes ask applicants so show a range of solutions and, if that is she case with the school you are working with, I would say go ahead and do so. That said, all the work in your portfolio absolutely must be equally strong. In my opinion, it is better to show a smaller range of really strong work than a broad range of work of varying quality. (I know it sounds super cliche but, essentially, your portfolio is only as strong as your weakest piece.)
If this submission is just for scholarship consideration and you haven’t been given much direction, I would submit only your absolute best work — even if that means somewhat limiting the range of work you could show. I also recommend submitting just the minimum number of pieces allowed in order to force yourself to edit even further.
