Why is a Portfolio Necessary?
A portfolio provides some indication of your ability in design and allows us to assess your creative potential.
What should a Portfolio contain?
The portfolio requires a minimum of five (5) artworks which show variation and usage of different mediums and applications. Candidates should portray an array of artworks ranging from (but not limited to) paintings, drawings, sketches, collages and digital software applications.
