Graphic Design Portfolio Projects are arranged by type of document. Projects with GS take you away from the About.com Desktop Publishing site. Each individual example provides specs on the size, quantity, printing, or other specifications required - much like projects the designer will encounter on the job. Some graphic design portfolio projects provide only the specs. Some provide additional material (text or graphics) and a starting design to work from. The Graphics Software Challenges are generally more freeform and deal with graphics project. They are good for developing your creativity skills.
