Creative Portfolio Creation

The course covers essential aspects of portfolio development, including project selection, layout composition, storytelling and refining presentation techniques. Students will also strengthen their creative research and illustration skills and gain confidence in their ability to translate ideas into a cohesive visual narrative. Particular attention will be paid to demonstrating both the creative process and the final outcome, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging portfolio.

This experience not only prepares them for future academic applications, but also provides them with valuable skills in visual communication and self-presentation. By the end of the course, students will have a polished and compelling portfolio that effectively showcases their talent and sets them apart in competitive creative fields.
