hey!
in today's video I show you my portfolio with which I applied to htw last year.
I thought it might help those who are interested in studying design. the truth is that I made my portfolio in a very short time before applying, so if I can give you some advice, it would be to start early, so you don't suffer the stress I went through last year lol.
anyway, feel free to write me or ask me anything you want if you need help with anything. hope you liked the video!
thank you ♡

thank you for the ongoing interest and support 🤍 it is impossible for me to answer all the questions, as many of them are specific and very individual cases. however, i would recommend you to visit the official htw page: kd.htw-berlin.de/en/ hope it helps you!

For someone that’s currently planning out their portfolio for a future application this was EXTREMELY helpful! Especially that’s sentence at the end “it’s the idea that counts” is helping me to de-stress

[@naimafamo3509]

I have a question Do we need a portfolio to start bachelor in communication design!? Your work is amazing 🥀♥️

[@mochiandco.]

@@naimafamo3509 in my country you always need a portfolio to apply to art uni. Since communication design falls under art a portfolio was required to apply. But my portfolio could be anything from sketches, to photography, to paintings, to sculptures… Just anything that showcases your creative ability I guess?

[@elsa3526]

Your video is really helpful ❤. What did you use to present your portfolio ?

[@carolinesmetacek757]

All your work is so beautiful!! Thank you so much for this video, it was so helpfu for me as I want to apply there :) I had one question though (for bachelors), is it necessary for international students to enroll in a studienkolleg/ give the Festellungsprüfung to be qualified at htw? Also, does one have to complete an 8 week internship like in some German art unis?

[@imarimoxter]

thanks! 💖 it really depends, but yes, most international students have to attend a studienkolleg first! and yes, you have to do an internship at htw as well, but because i applied during the pandemic it wasn't a requirement for us. :)

[@matae113]

[@vittoriapiazza1956]

Is it a public uni? I'm looking online but I can't understand, thank you so much if you decide to respond !

[@parv1795]

Estoy terminando mi carrera, Licenciatura en la Comunicación visual en Argentina, acá la educación pública es gratuita y me parece una locura eso de presentar proyectos tan específicos de diseño desde el desconocimiento. Nunca me interesó dibujar y nunca lo hice para la facultad, pero vi como muchos compañeros que les gustaba la ilustración abandonaban la carrera cuando ponían lo artístico antes que la comunicación y resolución de problemas. En fin solo un pequeño comentario desde otro sistema educativo porque estoy en crisis por mi tesina. Besos y mucha suerte

[@haniaabbas3917]

Hey!! Can you tell me about art universities in Argentina for international students?

[@lordbabi]

Hi. I learned alot from your video. Can you share about your "Vorpraktikum" in your application? I have read it on the website as one of the requirement for applying Kommukationsdesign. Unfortunately i havent been able to join a Designbüro or to work as an intern in some kind of Company/ Brand. Did you need to have this job experience during your application period? Thanks!

[@Shaheer7X]

Can I include personal projects in my design portflio for university? Like an illustration of a friend or a poster for a friend? Or is that too personal. ?? And would I have to give them credit I I include a reference picture of them and stuff? Thanks!

Hello I am from Turkey and I will be doing my Abitur next year. I have been drawing for 5 years now and most of the time it was digital and in comic style. I would love to discover the other elements of visual communication and add them to my portfolio but I have no experience. Is there a site where I can get help while creating my portfolio. How many artworks would be enough? Is there a certain way to prepare it or am I free to put whatever I like? Your video also helped me a lot and all of them are incredible

[@habibasaad3107]

I don't know a site that can help you but I know you can apply in the college you want and ask for portfolio critique, 10-20 artworks should be enough depending on the college you're applying to 15 is good but check your college requirements
