Please tell me what you think about it and suggest improvements.
I am currently in the 7th semester and am applying for a 4-6 month internship to firms in Japan, Spain and Netherlands. Do you think I have chance of getting through, with this?
I am no expert in this but I think it is a fairly decent portfolio.
However, I see that you have a lot design and conceptual drawings in your projects.I would advise you add in some construction drawings like some construction details or wall sections to show you have the technical competency too.
It’s kind of hard to take this portfolio serious when you are using that typewriter font. It does more harm than you realize. There’s also no organization in how you layout the graphics. But like Rasa said, you have a lot of conceptual illustrations there but there are no pages that showcase your other abilities.
Is this going to be printed? And what size? The answer relates to how you will organise/structure your layout. It is an okay layout at the moment, however if you take a bit of time to look at other great portfolios on archinect, you can see where you can bring your layout composition too :)
Also it would be good to see some drawings/sketches that show your understanding of how things are put together i.e. construction, sequence, detail etc.
I would get rid of your hobbies and interests at the beginning, and eliminate your customer service job. Everyone is interested in music, travel, food etc., and the customer service job is irrelevant.
I agree with Tuna that you need to organize your layouts to make your portfolio more consistent. I would only show details if you actually know the detail well and if it's very unique. If it's generic it doesn't matter. Perhaps a better way would be to show more in section. If you want to show details, maybe have one page of stuff from an internship. You don't need to devote a lot of space to convey the fact that you're at least somewhat competent when it comes to detailing.
You need to show more process - study models, diagrams that explain/justify your forms more.

That is what comes to mind right now.
@Rasa, Thanks for your feedback. I understand your point about construction details etc, and I'll try and add that too...
Good graphics. Decent projects, a little flabby in its content of your overall talent.
