Many architectural undergraduate or graduate programs require students to submit portfolios along with their application. Schools might require applicants to submit a written statement outlining the would-be architect’s interest in the practice. Here, you could discuss what inspired you to consider architecture as a career, along with architects you look up to.

Alongside the write-up, admission offices often look for a short collection of artworks. You would be advised on the kind of works accepted, but oftentimes students can submit drawings, paintings, sculptures, 2D and 3D designs, and even photography. You must only include original work that isn’t derived from any existing artwork.

Lastly, you’ll need to include background information, including your academic background and your relevant interests.

A hard copy of an architectural portfolio can be anywhere between 10 to 20 sheets. Captions should be integrated into each page, detailing the brief and design problem, the architect’s scope of work, and the proposed solution.

As for online portfolio websites, architects have more freedom as to how long it must be. However, just because you can include as much work as you can, it doesn’t mean that you have to. Try to narrow down your portfolio projects to about eight to 10 works only.

There is no hard and fast rule about the right dimensions for architectural portfolios. Different schools have their own requirements when it comes to portfolio sizes, so it would be best to defer to the school of your choice. If you’re looking to get work as a professional architect, a size that many architects consider to be ideal for portfolios is A3.

The perfect solution for the sizing dilemma? Switch to a digital portfolio instead. With a website, you can easily share your portfolio with as many potential employers and clients as you can—all without the cost of printing and meeting people face-to-face.

To create an interior designer’s portfolio, you need to first build several portfolio-worthy designs. Designers can do so by offering their interiors services at a discounted rate to friends and family, working under an esteemed decorator as an apprentice, and documenting all designs. Once you’ve built up a sizable collection of photos and design sheets, it’s time to put them into professional portfolios.

Designers often struggle with how much work to include in a portfolio. Some make their interiors portfolios too sparse, leaving much to be desired. Others go too far and include essentially all of their decorating work—even the bad ones. When designing a portfolio, a designer must take the time to narrow their work down to a select few that really represent their talents and their brand. 

As a rule of thumb, interior design portfolios should include 10 to 15 examples of a designer’s work. Don’t worry if you’re new and don’t have that much work yet. Soon enough, with patience and hard work, you’ll be able to amass a sizable portfolio filled with great work.
