I know a few people who are applying to both schools and to be very frank it will be difficult for you to be accepted.

I think you should work on your perspective, and if you want to go to CCS you should put some fine art pieces in your folio too.

I think its pretty good actually; the product stuff is nice, and apart from the wack kids toy thing the work seems solid and with potential.

Sorry...you will not get into Art Center with this. They will recommend that you take some night classes and courses at a nearby, cheaper school called Pasadena City College. A couple semesters of this might get your portfolio up to the required level for submission and possible acceptance.

The main problem I see is that the few cars you show are existing designs (Honda Civics, BMWs). You are not offering anything new or creative - neither visually nor functionally. If you cannot show any new vision, there is no reason to train you for a career in design.

You might try CCS - they used to be more "flexible" about entry portfolios...but then they would kick more people out of their program after the first year or two. And CCS might be interested in photographs of Vodka bottles, whereas Art Center is absolutely not (unless you are applying for the photography department!).

Good luck! If you are serious about this, you will not see my remarks as discouraging, but rather as a challenge to do better - or, I should say, to get yourself to a location like Pasadena where you can learn to do better.

More development and scale is needed. Also, try to do variations of the car, rather than the same car with different headlights.
