PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW & TIPS
What is a portfolio?
Your portfolio is a first impression of you and your work. An effective portfolio is presented professionally and cleanly, it is well organized, and a level of care has gone into the selection of the work. Portfolio pieces can be done digitally: 3D models, sculptures, animations, designs, digital paintings, concepts, etc. Portfolios may also contain work using natural media, like pencil and paper, ink, watercolour paints, etc. Choose work that best represents you, your personality, your strengths, and your creative career ambitions!

Are you trying to get into a specific college or program? Show a variety of work and your process!
