• Tips to Create a Portfolio

Here are some great tips to create a successful portfolio that will sway the faculty panel:

1. You must have the idea that the sole purpose of creating a portfolio is to demonstrate your abilities. Therefore, ensure you include all the artwork that showcases your skill set rather than what you believe to be a nice finished result. 
2. Labeling your portfolio properly is advised. As a result, make an effort to introduce the project you have listed in your portfolio. But keep your introduction to just one line. 
3. Ensure your portfolio has a proper table of contents, career goals and objectives, and work samples, and if you have personally worked with clients include their testimonials. 
4. Besides, focus on your portfolio, and presentation and accurately represent your interests, concepts, experience, and design-related skills.
