PORTFOLIOS
Excerpts from portfolios in different disciplins
The following portfolios are intended as examples and are not exhaustive. They illustrate the diverse ways in which participants have expressed the themes and aspects most essential to them.
Communications/ Graphicdesign/ Illustration
Design studies are about so much more than just making things look pretty. Whether it’s Graphics, Illustration, or Branding—you’ll learn to tell visual stories with a purpose. It’s where aesthetics meet function to create content that sticks.
A DIGITAL PORTFOLIO IS COOL, BUT NOTHING BEATS RAW SKETCHES AND SCRIBBLES.
Sketches and sketchbooks are your biggest assets because they show exactly how your ideas come to life.
FINE ARTS / ART EDUCATION
Art today goes far beyond the canvas. This is where you break boundaries—whether analog, digital, 2D, or 3D. Give your visions the space they deserve. You’ll experiment with materials and explore how art merges with fashion, architecture, or design. You won’t just learn to create art; you’ll learn how to transform entire spaces through your own exhibitions.
The Art Education track connects your personal creative practice with the mission of sharing that passion with others.
YOUR PORTFOLIO, YOUR RULES. SHOW US YOUR SPARK. FROM TRADITIONAL SKETCHES TO DIGITAL MEDIA AND EXPERIMENTAL FILM—SHOW US YOUR UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON THE WORLD.
FASHION- / Textile- / surfacedesign
From Fashion and Textiles to Surface Design—you’re shaping the trends of the future. Fashion is your playground for creativity, while Textiles focus on the tactile world of fabrics and new materials. Surface Design is all about transforming environments. If you’re into the intersection of style, technology, and functionality, look for programs that integrate Industrial Design.
USE YOUR PORTFOLIO TO SHOW HOW YOU SEE THE WORLD OF FASHION. BE VERSATILE, BE AUTHENTIC, MAKE IT YOURS!
Sculpture, Installation, Performance
Today, sculpture is about so much more than stone and chisel—it is arguably the most liberated field in art. Here, boundaries dissolve: classical sculpture meets video, photography blends with performance, and painting merges with digital installations.
THAT’S WHY YOU HAVE TOTAL FREEDOM FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO. LET YOUR IDEAS RUN WILD. YOU DECIDE WHICH MEDIUMS BEST BRING YOUR VISIONS INTO THE THIRD DIMENSION.
Industrial- / Productdesign
Product- and Industrial Design are the programs where portfolio preparation aligns with real-world conditions. Here, you’ll learn how to improve the world of tomorrow through bold design and experimentation. Create products and processes that are sustainable and bring meaningful change to our daily lives.
ALONGSIDE YOUR INDEPENDENT WORK, YOUR PORTFOLIO CAN FOCUS ON SPECIFIC PRODUCTS WHERE YOU IDENTIFY A PROBLEM AND ILLUSTRATE A SOLUTION—IDEALLY THROUGH SKETCHES.
Architekture / Interior design
Architecture and Interior Design: Your toolkit for the world of tomorrow. From modern facades and interior layouts to furniture design, visionary building projects, and brand concepts—you design it all.
HOW DO YOU TRANSLATE FUTURE STUDIES INTO YOUR PORTFOLIO? YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A VISIONARY YET, BUT YOU DO NEED THE COURAGE TO SHAPE YOUR OWN WORLD.
Stage- and Costume Design
Dreaming of the big stage? In Stage and Costume Design, you turn text and music into entire worlds. You’ll develop striking spatial concepts and costumes for theater and opera—from the first sketch to the finished model. It’s a mix of artistic flow and true craftsmanship where you learn how to bring your visions to life on stage.
FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO, YOU CAN CHOOSE A TEXT AND TRANSLATE IT INTO A VISUAL FORM THAT INCORPORATES BOTH SPACE AND CHARACTER.
BUT!!! THAT’S JUST ONE OPTION. YOU ARE COMPLETELY FREE IN YOUR DESIGN AND THE CHOICE OF YOUR MEDIA.
