What should my portfolio contain?
Your portfolio can include things that demonstrates your skills, creativity, motivations and interests as a designer. We are very happy to see work produced during A-levels, foundation courses (any creative course such as art, design or technology), and work experience ,and from outside of your education (such as hobbies and crafts).
You could include: sketching, technical drawing, photos of 3D objects you designed and made, CAD modelling and rendering, 3D printing, coding, research (consumer, user, visual, etc), photography, typography, illustrations, fashion and textile designs (including cosplay) and much more.
Presenting your work
The purpose of the portfolio is to show us who you are and what you can do. Aim to show off your abilities, and this includes how you think. We want to see how you work (your process) so include sketching, model making, prototypes, etc, and add a few annotations to your pages to help us understand what we are looking at. While we want you to show us your best work, don’t spend ages fretting over minute details and delay too long sending it to us.
