We generally recommend providing around 15–20 images of your work. The portfolio should provide evidence of your creative interests, whether it be in the form of drawings, photographs, video, film, animation, graphics, fashion, products, paintings, sculpture, models or assemblage, which shows your creative impulses and responses.
We encourage you to show your research, development and examples of work in progress, so we can assess both your thought process and craft in the absence of a finished article. These will provide valuable insight into your abilities and potential to succeed at Ravensbourne.
