Hi,

Working on my academic portfolio, I've frequently been checking the many "portfolio critique", "not another portfolio critique..." threads to see what the community thinks about the various portfolios and the feedback that is being shared with the rest of us. I'm quite sure I sense a lack of a unified thread where students considering applying to a program or for a job can submit links to their portfolios/websites and get some feedback prior to sending them in, without feeling bad for starting a "yet another... " thread.

I also feel this can be achieved in a more systematic, formatted and organized way so that all submitting students, reviewers and general audience know how and what to gain from each post.

That being said I would like to start off with a set of guidelines, which of course, could improve with suggestions from the open community.

Portfolio Submitting Party

1. Portfolio Category (Applying for program (M.Arch I, M.Arch II, Ph.D)/Applying for job)

2. Educational Background (B.Arch, B.A, M.Sc, non architectural background, ...)

3. Portfolio Link (Issuu, personal website, ...)

4. Questions (Anything that you require an answer to regarding the submitted portfolio)

5. Additional Details (Any other thoughts or details that are needed to be shared)

Portfolio Reviewing Party

1. ***Add Name here***'s Portfolio (Replying to which post?)

2. Projects (Insight on documents, material, process, diagrams, descriptions, text, ...)

3. Design (Aesthetic, formatting, layout, fonts, images, colors, proportions, ...)

4. General Suggestions (Any further details, links, tips, errors, ...)

Feel free to add any other related info or suggestions to improve this thread.
