Your Portfolio
Portfolio Requirements
Your portfolio should contain 10-20 examples of your best and most recent work. Select works that demonstrate the depth and breadth of your creative experiences, and that highlight your ideas and conceptual ability as well as your skills. Consider your portfolio a reflection of your identity as an artist or designer. Your portfolio may include works in a variety of mediums, including two-dimensional work, photography, three-dimensional work, design, architectural renderings, interactive media, websites, video and animation. It may also include text intensive works, book arts, furniture, marketing and advertising, and sketchbook or workbook pieces encompassing research and images.
Your portfolio should include samples of work completed from direct observation (rather than from imagination or copied from photographs).
