Portfolio tips
- Show us who you are
Choose 6 to 12 pieces that reflect your personality, interests, creativity and skills. Your portfolio should show us what you enjoy creating and what inspires you. - Choose your strongest work
Select pieces you are proud of and that demonstrate your creative and technical abilities. Highlight work that is unique, interesting or meaningful to you. - Show variety
Include a range of subjects, materials, techniques or mediums if possible. Your work can include drawings, paintings, photography, writing, digital work, 3D projects, crafts or other creative work. Large or 3D pieces can be photographed for your portfolio. - Tell us about each piece
Include a brief description with each item. Tell us what you created, the medium or process you used and what inspired or interested you about the work. For assignments or projects, you can also explain the brief and how you approached it. - Organize your portfolio
Arrange your work in an order that makes sense and creates a natural flow. You might group pieces by medium, subject, style or technique. Keep the presentation simple and consistent so your work is easy to view. - Present your work clearly
Use good-quality, high-resolution images and photograph larger or 3D work from multiple angles when helfpul. Check that images, text, spelling and formatting are clear and consistent. - Be creative with what you include
Your portfolio doesn't have to consist only of traditional artwork. Show us what interests you. This could include a memorable photograph, a room you decorated, a meaningful collection, fashion, music, writing, theatre or other creative pursuits. - Get a second opinion
Ask someone you trust to review your portfolio before submitting it. They can check for errors, clarity, and overall presentation and help you identify the work that best represents you.
Most importantly, be yourself. You don't need to be a master artist, we simply want to see your creativity, technical skills, interests and what inspires you.
