<p>I agree that it’s much more important to show off your own skills and interests, rather than mimicking other artists. CMU has some very very specific requirements for your portfolio:</p>

<p>If at all possible, go to CMU and attend your portfolio review in person. I think it really helps to have the opportunity to talk about your work and explain some of your pieces. Putting a human face on your work can give the reviewer a more favorable impression. You don’t get that extra chance to “sell” your talent if you just mail in your portfolio.</p>
