However, you can attach a brief description of each piece on the back of your portfolio pieces. Hope this helps. :D Hi Emily,

Very informative especially for someone not in the field currently. I have a strong science background and am exploring graphic design for scientific purposes. I have many examples of figures and images I made for graduate school and am wondering if I need to put captions below my work! Thanks! This is great.

Right now, I'm in grade 11. The thing is, I felt pressured by my parents to do something "better" and not something "that won't get me anywhere but the streets" (is what they said). I really can't take it anymore, so I've decided to stop the science madness and go for what I really like. I love designing layouts/themes for blogs/etc. I do that in my free time, I use Corel and Gimp. I also love to draw, though I haven't been in the mood recently. What are the chances of actually getting a pretty OK job? That's what worries me the most, with all the negativity that I get from my family. Also, what courses do I need to take in High School?
