Design Portfolio Preparation

Overview

Students will be provided with a supportive environment to explore design and folio preparation. An introduction to concept development and schematic design will be provided. The students will be assisted by a qualified professional to explore design areas such as architecture, landscape, interior design and planning. This will include initial design drawings concepts, design language, model making, schematic plans, elevations and sections as well as presentation techniques and related skills.

Course content

Testimonial

Greta Low
The RMIT Design Portfolio Preparation course was critical in helping me gain entry into my first-preference architecture course. The tutor helped me combine my previous creative work with the tasks I completed during the course. I learned a number of sketching and modelling techniques and I was introduced to basic architectural concepts.

The tutor always gave detailed and helpful feedback which pushed me to generate more complex concepts. I would recommend this short course to anyone who is new to folio preparation and looking to gain entry into a design course, as well as those who are experienced design students hoping to improve their work.

I’m incredibly grateful for the experience and I know the skills I have learned will transfer into my upcoming studies.
