Hey Wiznas
I think it’s a pretty solid portfolio for applying to school.I can tell you put a lot of thought into the feasibility of each project and I appreciate that you took your ideas to functional prototype and beyond, shows your interest in design beyond the superficial. I think the Technology 4 Tomorrow projects are all really interesting. My first look through I actually thought they were all one big project at first and was confused till I realized it was 5 separate problems. I think you might benefit from more distinct visual separation since they all blend into each other seamlessly right now.
The messenger bag prototype looks interesting. I would end that project on a full bleed money shot of the bag on someone’s back while they’re riding, or walking at night to show off a bit of the construction and the reflectivity, and celebrate the fact that you actually built the thing! Something like this but at night?
As far as schools are concerned, which ones are on your list right now? What do you want to get out of your design education? Is the a particular area of product design that interests you most? I was in a similar situation and was close to doing the Pratt MID program but instead went with a full BS degree again, since I really wanted to develop my skill set and not sell myself short. For the most part an MID will not necessary put you in a better position for an entry level job, so that is something to think over.
