Portfolio Guidance is focused, practical support for shaping that presentation — helping a student select, sequence, and frame their work so it reads clearly to the people reviewing it, whether for a school application, a job search, or a competition. Reviewers spend minutes, sometimes seconds, on a first pass through a portfolio; what stands out and what gets lost is rarely obvious to the person who made the work. This guidance draws on the same critical eye used in studio teaching and years of reviewing student and applicant portfolios, applied here to the specific task of making a body of work legible to someone seeing it for the first time.
