Portfolio Tips

Already have your work and process documented? Here are a few final tips to keep in mind.

Start Early

Give yourself plenty of time to choose, edit, and organize your work before application deadlines.

Ask for Feedback

Have a teacher, mentor, architect, or someone you trust look through your portfolio. A fresh perspective can help you notice things you might have missed.

Check the Requirements

Every college can have different portfolio requirements. Check each school's website for the required format, number of pieces, file size, and deadline.

Proofread Everything

Check your project descriptions, titles, and other text for spelling and grammar mistakes. Small errors can distract from your work.

Keep Updating It

Your portfolio doesn't have to be finished right away. Continue adding new work and removing pieces as your skills and interests develop.
