How can I start a graphic design portfolio?

FIDM- What do I need to start a design portfolio?

  • I am a sophomore in High School and now is the time that I need to start thinking about post-secondary education. I really want to attend FIDM in LA, but I know I will really need a portfolio. I have AWESOME fashion skills, but I really don't know how to draw. Can anyone help me with any of the materials that are needed to start this process. Any information will help me. I really feel like that is my destiny and I just need a little help getting started, Designing is my passion. It's something that I can do anytime of the day. Someone, please just help me. Any materials, directions, and anything else you think can help me.

  • Answer:

    You will definitely need drawing skills because this shows that you can, in a sense, design, as well as implement your designs. Developing fashion skills (sewing, serging,...etc...) is easy. Fashion design, as the name implies, is about design. As far as your portfolio is concerned, include visual art as well as textiles.

I'd suggest you buy a copy of this book and get a head start with your sketching skills: http://www.amazon.com/9-Heads-Guide-Drawing-Fashion/dp/0130941921 The book is written by one of FIDM's best instructors. You can start to teach yourself the techniques explained (in detail) in this book. I met someone recently that bought the book as a sophomore and had AMAZING sketches by the time they were a senior. *practice makes perfect* Goodluck!

I go to FIDM in San Francisco. You eventually take a fashion sketching class, but depending on what major you are focusing on you take classes specialized for that major. What really counts though is that your passion is in the right place...FIDM is an awesome school...let me know if I can help you with anything else about FIDM!!
