Your portfolio should contain up to 20 images that best represent your design work and process and should serve as a visual and narrative reflection of the work listed and described in your résumé and statement of purpose.
Your images may include two- and three-dimensional graphic design, sketches, scenarios, research outcomes, photography, video clips, websites, prototypes, or other formats that you feel best convey your work and skills from previous educational and/or professional experience. Choose works that best showcase your understanding of communication design fundamentals (typography, composition, hierarchy and scale, visual rhythm, color, and sequencing), so that the committee can assess your acumen as a visual designer.
Where possible, please include descriptions of the projects, explanations of your role in the project (if it is team-based), or a thoughtful description of the context of the project. If you have dynamic media or other time-based work, you can also upload it here.
Images should be submitted in JPEG format with a pixel dimension of 1920 wide by 1080 tall. Do not include PDF files in your submission.
MPS Communication Design applicants are encouraged to submit a personal URL that contains links to functional prototypes, if applicable, in addition to a portfolio. Please note that a URL link alone will not satisfy the portfolio requirements for this program.
