CREATIVE PORTFOLIO
YOUR CREATIVE PORTFOLIO
Your Creative Portfolio gives us a window into how you see the world and think through ideas in a relaxed and friendly environment. It doesn't need to be perfect - we're looking for creative potential, not a finished professional body of work. Submit 4-6 pieces of creative work for your application.
CREATIVE WORK EXAMPLES
* Illustrations, sketchbook, painting or art project
* Physical garments or accessories
* Photography or videography
* Graphic design
* Physical garments or accessories

HOT TIPS
* Try to include a range of elements and principles of design in your creative work, e.g. colour, balance, texture, line, etc.
* Don’t overthink it. Your portfolio doesn’t need to be perfect yet. We’re here to teach you the skills required to start your design career.
* If you don’t yet have any creative work, illustration or photography is a great place to start. This is an effective way of conveying your ideas without having the technical skills to create the final piece.
* Want to enhance your portfolio? Add annotations off to the side to explain your processes and expand on what you would like to learn to improve the design.
* You could even include a mood board to support your creative work.
* Your creative work does not need to relate to your preferred specialisation but try to include at least one piece that reflects your field of interest.
* All work must be original.
