Central Saint Martins ACCEPTED Portfolio! (Industrial & Product Design)

I got accepted into the Central Saint Martins Product Design course using this portfolio. The main takeaways from this Central Saint Martins accepted portfolio review is that the people reviewing your portfolio want to see your thinking. This is a second part video to the first Central Saint Martins video I made. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks homie

[@gulizeboamatova]

Your videos are so helpful! Can you please do a video with someone who studies Master’s in Fashion design and show their portfolio? I’m dreaming about applying to your university and want to learn more!

[@AhmetEfeoglu]

Dude that motorcycle is awesome. I have no words. We come from two opposite sectors. While you did your undergrad in design, I did mine in computer science and I always felt the need to learn to draw(I bought books and sketched) because one thing I learned is that with drawing sketching you really learn how to see and it helps so much when you look at a great User Experience whether that is mobile app or a physical product, and can understand the though process of the designer better.

[@Darkness-fk6jm]

This brings back so many memories even though back then not many were using software programs for sketches and drawings. We did use Form Z slightly towards the end. A lot has changed since my time there. Have fun, competition is fierce! Foundation Course CSM - 1995-1996 BA Product Design CSM - 1996-2000 MA Design Studies CSM - 2000-2001

@@siddhant4070 Hi. I'm from Portugal and I'm thinking of applying to CSM as well. I've just got out of highschool and I was wondering if it is required to take the foundation of art and design year or if I already can apply to the undergraduate course I'm interested in?

Hey , I am applying for MA Industrial design at UAL for 2022 . Can you give me some tips if you dont mind .

[@Sky-ky4qw]

Heyy Arnau, gonna join CSM diagnostic foundation this sep... 1. Any suggestions on what I should read to prepare for their syllabus content? 2. Also, what software should I learn as an industrial designer? 3. Any other suggestions to utilize this time? Thank you so much, Regards Malika ^-^

[@aqdassyed6572]

I like sketching cartoons, cars and products but , digital design on a software is hectic and frustrating as well

[@ArnauRos]

Mix them! Draw on paper, scan and create more dramatic gradients shadows etc on photoshop :)

May i know what music you used for this video? Its really nice

Thanks!

[@appledowgpup1545]

Hello? Can I ask since you mentioned you were in IB DP, did you pick Visual Arts as a subject? And is it a must to pick that subject for applying to a product design major? Thanks!

[@Pricey96]

Great video, but Loughborough is where it's at ;)

[@ArnauRos]

[@ricklu4690]

Very nice video, I’m planning on apply to UAL csm illustration, do you know the iB requirements?

[@j.d.harris7681]

Arnau, Great video, great designs--I appreciate you! Quick question: the ID program I'm applying to requires 10-15 portfolio items. Did yours have a required number of items? If so, did each page count as an item or each project? Thanks very much! J.D.

[@ArnauRos]

Hey JD! I had the same requirement, I believe each page counted as a project :) Arnau

[@markburns2412]

Hey man. Is this CSM in London? Just wondering what the student life is like, and what the students are like etc

[@user-ws6ef5er3r]

Hi, I know you don't make CSM(ual)/university application videos anymore but, would you consider making interview tips or something along those lines? I have applied to Industrial design and had been offered interviews but I am a bit lost! Thank you :)

[@ArnauRos]

Thanks for the idea!

[@lucianaalonso6431]

could you please tell us the process, like you present the portfolio and if they like it they call u for the interview?

[@ArnauRos]

That’s pretty much it! If they like the smaller portfolio you send they’ll ask you to send a bigger one, which then you present to someone on your course. Hope this helps

[@Sky-ky4qw]

Hey, thanks for the guidance! I followed your tips, and I got into CSM foundation year course. Question: I have been accepted by Emily Carr and UAL, but i'm unsure of which college would give me a better career as an industrial designer, since the same companies recruit designers from both colleges. So, could you please suggest on whether I should go for UAL or not? Would it make a significant difference to my career? Thanks :) MC

[@ArnauRos]

Awesome!!!! Really happy you got in - I looked at emily carr aswell, I recommend ual :)

[@scatchysketch3950]

Thank you for sharing your amazing portfolio. I am currently preparing for CSM BA women's wear course🐥 Whiling I was having research about what to include in my portfolio, I found your vedio!! Lucky me🙈 Quick question! 1. How many project do you think I have to show in portfolio. Some say to show one strong project and some say include at least 3 project 2. curious whether including face sketching or life drawing common in portfolio page. or would it be better if I put more about fashion project. I can only submit 15 pages so makes me think a lot what to include😩

[@JR-uh8jm]

Sir, did you do this in Year 13 A level, was any of it part of school work?

[@dimitrismarsitopoulos8768]

Hey, i have a very stupid question haha. Is Central Saint Martins just for designing stuff like you showed in the video? Cause im a comic artist and i found a short course that they provide for comic artists but could i submit a portfolio that contains my thinking behind my creations, my storyboards, sketches etc and get in? Or does CSM revolve only around designing cars, motorcycles etc? I know very stupid question but could you please tell me? Thank you and great video🙏🙏

[@ArnauRos]

Take a look at the csm website, they detail all of their courses there and what you do/ what you’ll design in the course. Hope this helps!

[@subho_creates]

Have u applied in RISD ? Any tips!

[@ArnauRos]

Never applied to them!

[@subho_creates]

Any specific reason?

[@ArnauRos]

Couldn’t afford US prices 😁

[@emmatate2460]

thanks for the great insight!! I wanted to ask, so I want to apply for the csm foundation for art & design and on the portfolio entry requirements it asks for 30 pages of work... would I need to create 30 individual pieces and cramp all the research and processes etc onto the page, or can I create a couple pieces and use up more pages for the each separate element like the final artwork, research etc. thanks once again :)

[@ArnauRos]

Hey, definitely the latter. In this case it is going to be quality over quantity, only add in the best stuff you can produce. You can follow the format I used, I only had a couple projects in there and I had a few pages that were only research or process.
