I am currently working on a portfolio for grad school. Its about done, just need to finish the index and other corrections. I was wondering if you could take a look at it and give me some feedback. Thanks!
Is that halftone shape in the gresham smith competition section supposed to be Indiana (Injun-a)? If yes, is the halftone gradation change based on topography, or is it arbitrarily made? I feel the halftone effect is kind of unnecessary? This ain't no Lichtenstein.
Room key for the lamination + bend project, you can totally put in the 2 minutes it'd take to make a spiffier looking key. Don't just grab it from Word or Excel and plop it in.
Page 7 of lamination, I'd bring down the bottom right rendering (with the car) down just a hair so that the bottom left corner of the image starts from white (basically, just to avoid that jagged jump of white text field to white parking lot caused by the black road).
some observations: your text needs work. you seem to be misspelling the title of one of your projects. also, some of your descriptions are extremely unclear, like--'the affect in the project presented is bending, while the tectonic is laminated'. also, what is a 'partner project'? if it is something you worked on at a firm, you should say so and credit the firm. if it's a group project, make that clear or credit the other participants.
Just my opinion, but I'd keep the black region on your cover page on the top horizontal. It comes off as a horizon line and it keeps your portfolio title level. I like the image slightly overlapping it. The slight angle works for the inside pages because your project titles are on the left, horizontal part.
As previously mentioned, need to fix "laminatation" in your project title.
There are other good comments to consider as well- nice portfolio!

Thanks for all the feedback! It really helps.
Check your spelling.
Otherwise, not a bad looking folio.
