議不僅適用于申請時尚設(shè)計課程也適用于畢業(yè)生應(yīng)聘時尚相關(guān)工作。因此,如果學(xué)校需要3個設(shè)計項目,一個速寫本,一種布料,帶著他們。很多學(xué)生我面試時尚管理和時尚營銷的時候跟我們說他們想成為一個設(shè)計師。這就是說你的作品集也方便你刪除內(nèi)容?! ∫粋€好的作品集子是時尚界人士必不可少的工具。作品集要跟你好多年所以一定不要太花哨。她甚至沒有打開作品集。電子版跟紙質(zhì)版稍微有點不同,因為某些東西不能用兩種形式呈現(xiàn)(比如食品或者樣布)?! ?. Know your strengths. This is a life lesson for everyone, and applies to all careers, applications, and aspects of life. If you aren’t good at something, try and avoid including it in your portfolio. For example, if you suck at illustrating, don’t put any in your portfolio (this is very possible. On the MA at St. Martins, the course director thought everyone’s illustrations were “shit” – her words – and only one of us was allowed to include proper fashion illustrations in our portfolio. The rest of us managed to make beautiful portfolios without them, proof that it is possible.) If it is presentation skills, have a graphic designer friend help you with layouts. If you can’t spell, make sure your written work is proofread. No one is perfect, so don’t try to be and don’t try and do everything yourself. Remember, you are only as good as your worst illustration/design/layout/essay, so make sure there are no weak links. 4. 清楚你的長項。中央圣馬丁藝術(shù)與設(shè)計學(xué)院MA的系主任說每個人的插圖都是“狗屎”—她的原話—我們所有人中只有一個人可以在作品集中放入合適的時尚插圖。沒有人事完美的,所以不用試圖自己做所有的事情?,F(xiàn)在,有Instagram和其他的照片編輯軟件,一個好的模特比好的攝影師更重要。如果找不到四號身材(歐美標準身材,對應(yīng)的尺寸:胸圍8386 腰圍:6871 臀圍:89 91)的模特,找大一點的?! ‘?dāng)面試官看你的作品集的時候,他/她通常在招聘季(申請季),工作量非常大。不要放任何不起眼的作品。作品的數(shù)量我沒有什么建議,有時候20頁的作品讓我看的無聊的要死,但是有的時候100頁的作品卻讓我激動萬分,可以吸引我從頭欣賞到尾?! ∪绻麑W(xué)生每交每一份糟糕的作品,我就得到一美元的話,我現(xiàn)在就已經(jīng)很富有了。再想象下漂亮的平面設(shè)計、考慮周到的字體、高質(zhì)量的圖像、一致性、留白、質(zhì)量很好的紙張、與你或者申請工作/課程相關(guān)的展現(xiàn)方式。所以在時尚作品集中一定要展現(xiàn)研究、發(fā)展、實驗、試裝等等而不僅僅是設(shè)計成品。我們的設(shè)計項目和作品集的5090%是研究相關(guān),然后獲得一個解決方案或者結(jié)論。 10. Don’t limit your content to fashion. If you are great in other things, then make sure they get a mention. Schools and panies aren’t accepting/hiring you based on your work, they are also making an investment in you as a person. And so if you are good at other things, then that will always be a plus. . One last very important tip: if you are applying to schools, check out the graduate portfolios from the recent grads. That will give you an idea of where the course is supposed to take you, and demonstrating that you have the ability to get there will only help you. Most schools do public portfolio shows, or put work online. In fact, all of these images came from Showtime, which has the graduate portfolios of the University of the Arts grads (includes St. Martins and London College of Fashion), a great resource to see what some of the top London fashion school grads are doing. I’ve shown work from students at London College of Fashion. 10. 作品集不局限于時尚?! S,最后一個重要的建議:如果申請學(xué)校,去看看最近的畢業(yè)生的作品。
