What should my portfolio comprise of? Your portfolio should comprise of 15 to 20 examples of your best art and/or design work. Any physical medium can be included (e.g. paper drawings, clay models, photographs, etc) as well as digital work produced from any software tools (e.g. SolidWorks, Blender, Maya, MonkeyJam, Scratch, etc). Ideally we would like to see some diversity including drawings, 3D models, game designs, animations, etc. So what are the type of tools I should use to create my portfolio? It really depends on what you are comfortable with. You may wish to use pens, pencils, paints and paper (or other traditional art tools) to do some drawings or to design a level for a game. On the other hand you may use digital applications to produce the portfolio elements.

Is there anything I should NOT include in my portfolio? The only things we would prefer not to see would be obvious copies of popular cartoon, comic book or game characters, or any offensive subject matter. We want to see your ideas, artwork and characters for games, not someone elses. When do I have to present my portfolio? Everyone who applies to the course through the CAO will be written to with details (date and time) of when you must present your portfolio. The letter will also contain information of how to submit your portfolio online if you wish to do it that way.


What format should my portfolio be in? In a physical portfolio your notebooks can take any form or size, we don’t mind, and should contain ideas, ‘doodles’, sketches, stories, cutouts, etc. The 15 to 20 portfolio pieces are generally mounted on A2 or A3 sheets and each piece must be clearly labeled. If you choose to submit a digital version of your portfolio then you should take a video of each of your notebooks. This ‘notebook video’ is simply a video (you could use your mobile phone to take it) of you turning the pages of your notebook so that we can see them. The 15 to 20 portfolio pieces can be either digital images and/or videos. For example, you might decide to include an image of a model you made or a video (of the computer screen) of a game you made in Scratch. You may find it useful to attend one of our Portfolio Preparation Workshop Days.
