How should I create a portfolio for design entrance exam conducted at IIAD?

At IIAD, we are looking for students who have a creative and visual aptitude and are passionate about solving problems and innovation solutions for our increasingly complex world, using Design Skills and Design Thinking. A portfolio is not the mandatory or only criteria for admission. However, if you do have a portfolio or have started making one, the following are some points that you should keep in mind: 1. A portfolio is a sum total of your creative output over the years and should reflect that. What it means is that your portfolio is not just about what you have created in the last six months or three months but goes back as far as you can remember. It may be a drawing you made in Class IV or a model or project you made in Class IX or a card you made for your parents/family/anyone anytime. 2. Secondly, a portfolio is not only about drawing and sketching, but any interesting work that you may want to share with us. It could be a photograph you have taken, a dance that you may have performed or choreographed, a story or an essay that you may have written etc. Or anything else for that matter that reflects you as a person. 3. A portfolio can be in the form of a bounded book or folio, a Digital film, a PowerPoint presentation or a photo album or anything that truly reflects who you are. 4. We look at a portfolio to understand you as a person and not to rate your drawing and sketching skills. I hope these help, and if you can get in touch with us @IIAD, we have individual counselling as well as Webinars that we regularly host that will help you understand the concept of a 'portfolio' even better.
