Portfolio Submission
Applicants are required to submit a portfolio before the application deadline to showcase their original work. The portfolio should demonstrate the applicant's design abilities through a curated selection and clear presentation of their work in 2D format. The portfolio may include a range of media such as drawing, painting, sketching, design, photography, or other visual and graphic disciplines that reflect the applicant's creative interests and skills. Any 3D objects, such as physical models, should be represented in the portfolio using 2D documentation (e.g., photographs, renderings, or sketches) instead of submitting the physical items. The portfolio should be a concise, well-organised collection not exceeding A4 size (portrait or landscape) and 12 pages in PDF format, including the cover page and table of contents. The minimum resolution is 72 dpi, and the file size must not exceed 15 MB.
