Pick a promising program, check the exact eligibility, then apply on the employer's official site.
A short exhibition analysis, accessible program plan, cataloguing exercise, or design project can help explain your thinking. Label student work accurately. A sample should show your process and contribution, not rely on an attractive image with no explanation.
Check that you may share photographs, documents, and project material. For collaborative work, distinguish your contribution. If a sample cannot be public, ask the employer whether a permitted alternative or brief process description is appropriate.
