About Portfolio - Doubts raised

Portfolio is not must have, this is primarily design world term. If you are from engg background you may not hear this.
Typically architects have this compiled over 4 yrs of their term. Again this is not a must have, whati's imp is you need to show your creative work during the interview....

What is portfolio - portfolio is nothing but a compilation of work - actual physical samples of your work or photographs of the same. Remember very imp is do not try to copy any body else's work it's very easy to predict in the interview if you have done this or someone else.


Here are few examples of what people can carry - from my experience and what i have seen in case of successful candidates
- paintings done
- some scribbled pictures
- physical crafted things - people try diff things like soap carvings, clay models etc. again if you are an architect you have an edge, but engg donn get scared your knowledge can come very positive. As i mentioned on the blog trying to user whatever your knowledge it may be as creatively as possible is what carries marks
- photographs of your creative work - home furniture you have designed, something creative you have designed for usage (some table-cum-chair-cum-bed), your designed stage in case of your college gathering etc.
- your handwriting samples - if it's showable, or calligraphy etc.

Best of luck folks!--- hope this clears some of the doubts
