Start with the brief
Read the institution’s current instructions for formats, project counts and submission limits. Tailor the selection to the programme rather than sending everything you have made.
Tell a complete project story
State the problem, context and your role. Show research, alternative ideas, experiments, feedback and what changed. Credit collaborators and distinguish your own contribution.
Make it easy to read
Use clear labels and a consistent sequence. Photograph physical work in good light and test digital links without an account. Choose legibility over decorative layouts.
Reflect honestly
Explain what worked, what did not and what you would try next. Avoid invented projects, fabricated research and uncredited work.
