Masters Portfolio Feedback_Bartlett/Delft/Cambridge/Edinburgh
Hi all,
I am applying for Masters at the moment for Sept 2017 and I just wanted some feedback on my portfolio.
I am applying to the Bartlett, Delft, Cambridge and Edinburgh.
I have included all 3 of my building projects, 1 professional project, 1 group competition, and some of my painting work.
All feedback welcome.
Thanks.
Nikolas

PS. Please ignore the mistake in contents page ( i will fix that before sending it out)
Don't see any problem getting in any of these schools with your portfolio.
Arrange projects from best to worst to best (start good end good,)
first project seamed a little lackluster compared so some of the others
agree
same here. just collapse the artwork into a single spread and perhaps merge it through a narrative with the rest of your work.
^This. #1 project first, #2 project last. Which is why I also normally tell people to get rid of their artwork sections as they tend to be a pretty flat end.
I actually like your paintings though, so I think that you mostly just need to move a better project to the start.
Thanks for the tips.
Any more feedback apart from project order?
Hey Nick,
Did you get the decision from TU Delft?
Just got an email with conditional offer.
(conditional apparently meaning they ll double check all the documents I sent in before officially offering a place).
Did you apply too?
Yes, I submitted my application on March 30th. Unfortunately, I got a rejection.
Do you think that the rolling admission procedure favors the first applicants?
In general with all applications in all unis they advise to apply as soon as possible from what I know, so it must do to a certain degree
Thank you for your answers!
I am really disappointed right now, trying to figure out what went wrong and what are my alternatives from now on.
Could you tell me when did you submit your application?
The portfolio could really benefit from a more artful approach. Think watercolor, photomontage and composition. LAYERING will be your best friend if you do it right.
Check out this portfolio I found online, this is NOT my portfolio, just sharing it.

Oh and one more thing: hierarchy. Most of your images are of the same scale/size, mix it up with very large spreads and smaller context images.
Thanks mreed.
Yes it does look a bit simple/dry at the moment.
I will have that in mind for the next itiration! :)
lol dude you are from bartlett part 1 with a high 2:1 why do you even need to worry about getting into any of these schools (at least not bartlett)
very phenonmenal drawings, which unit were you in?
Hey thank you.! Different schools I guess could be looking for different qualities in students so the more feedback the better. Also always good to get an outsider's perspective on your work.
I was in U2 in Y2
and U8 in Y3.
Did you go to the B?
aha i wish! i work in an office with many bartlett graduates so i kind of get how crazy you people are haha. i can't find your drawings in this year's bartlett book, did you graduate this year?
Graduated in 2015!
Where do you work? if i may ask
