    I was told to have about 10 pieces of work. Strangely enough in my interview a grand total of about 2minuets was spent looking through my portfolio, and from what I've been told by the rest of my class the same applied to them.
    As far as the actual type of work wanted, many people believe they need architectural/technical drawings of some sort. This is NOT true. I'd say have something that interests you or shows your personality, maybe something from your art course(assuming you did/are doing one in school). Also photography is useful if you're into it, I know of at least one guy who got in on photographs alone. There's a fair bit of information about the portfolio in an old thread here somewhere too if you can find it...

    Hope that helps
