PORTFOLIO
REQUIREMENTS

We like to think of a portfolio as a window into your own unique world through which we can see your skills, personality and potential. It’s a collection of your work demonstrating how your creativity has developed over a period of time. It shows your ability to work with different materials, themes and techniques, as well as how you research, develop and plan your ideas. A portfolio should be professional, yet human – we want to see you amongst the pages.
