That's good! and no it's not, it would've been my second choice if only the entry requirements weren't higher than my predicted grades and if it wouldn't be such a risk to put it as my insurance lol. good luck on your application and I hope you get an offer soon! :smile:

Hey who knows, you could get those grades! :biggrin:

Aw thank you!

Hi, yes, I got an offer from Sheffield - AAA,

Take a look at my portfolio which I have just posted, it may help you in deciding what to include in your portfolio.

Best of luck

I'll take a look at your portfolio =)
Do you think I should include my GCSE Design and technology work into my portfolio! I designed and made an iPod docking station and got a A* in it, but would it put my other pieces quality down? since I'm doing a2 now?

Has anyone applied to Nottingham Trent?
if so, what does it mean by to include your analysis of architectural examples?
Thanks

Thanks for your advice!
Yea, I thought so too as it shows I've used a range of technique and materials etc..
the reason why i asked this is because my art teacher didn't like it so she told me not to include it, but i will!!

Well it depends how many works you are submitting coz you know they like to see 'what you can develop from your idea' in your work, each piece represents a story. Whereas the problem with DT only shows you are capable of accurate measurements/ technical skills/ presentation etc. (The product is not so different from the ones you could get in reality!) Hence the story of the piece is shorter... Of coz it is good to show one DT work only but don't show too much, you want to demonstrate the fact that you can create in a unique/ creative way! GOOD LUCK mate! BTW where have you applied to and have you got any offers yet? I applied to UCL, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester and waiting for their reply

I did a series of work for this task. Try to connect yourself with the street you are familiar with/ or a brand new street that gives you an impression. Think about contrast? People? Mood? <---What media can create these? Moral messages? My street could be a symbolism. Abstract? Raise some more questions to yourself about the memory you have with it, think about it in an atmospheric way.

Hi

I think they just want to see a combination of of technical skill and creativity. I did a mixed media piece that combined biro, water-colour, acrylic, cotton etc. and then in the description I explained how the different media represented different elements of my street.
