A strong portfolio is an essential part of any ambitious art students’ armoury. When you’re applying for a prestigious university place, or trying to land that elusive first job, a portfolio is the perfect place to showcase your skills and style.
As part of our fortnight-long focus on studying art, we’re asking you to submit your best portfolio piece. At the end of the week, we’ll compile our favourites into a gallery.
We’re looking for submissions from the whole spectrum of art specialisms, so whether you’re prolific with patterns or daring with graphic design – we want so see your finest cuts.
The deadline for submissions is midnight on Tuesday 27 October 2015.
