Putting together any kind of portfolio can be a tricky challenge. But what if you do lots of different things, work across various mediums and have a bunch of different skills? How do you create a coherent portfolio that best expresses all angles of your creative practice?

Well, for those of you with a more multidisciplinary mindset, we have just the thing. We’re hosting our next portfolio review on Thursday January 28th, with a focus on multidisciplinary work.

So if you work in a few different ways, this is your chance to get feedback from pros working across design and advertising. Open to UK creatives within the first two years of their careers, read on for how to get involved.

Creatives and companies offering feedback on the day will include:

The session will take place over Zoom on Thursday 28th January 2021, from 5pm to 8pm GMT. In breakout rooms of three, you will get the opportunity to have your work reviewed by several of the industry creatives throughout the evening.

Please also note that the session is open to those with no more than two years of experience. Priority will be given to creatives working in a multidisciplinary way.

You will be required to have something to show (e.g. a limit of three projects or pieces of work that capture what you do), but don’t worry if this isn’t a polished portfolio.

You can be a student, grad, or just within the first two years of your creative career.
This session is open to you if you are:

• Not in full-time creative work
• Within the first 2 years of your career
• Based in the UK
• Aged 18 and over
