Doubt it, but make sure f your sending it that its well packed otherwise with it being transported from place to place t could easily burst open, It's only a zip after all. Shouldn't be a problem f your folio isnt too full.

Thanks!

i personally don't think jeans would be a good idea. considering this is a university interview, i'd do smart casual: blouse, blazer and a skirt, a dress if you're the more fancy type. don't overdress and just keep it simple. but jeans is a no-no!

hope this helps x

Are you sure you want to go to university to do a foundation course, instead of your local college? It doesn't really matter where you do your foundation as the courses are pretty generic, and many, if not most, people do them locally because you aren't eligible for students loans. Worth thinking about.

I'd seriously consider the nearest one to where you live, to save money. Admission to the degree courses is by portfolio, and that's totally up to you and your talent, not the course. Anywhere that's a big name for its degrees will be very popular for its foundation on the assumption that it's a back door way in to the degree course, but how well that works in practice someone else on here will be better placed to advise you. If money's no object, then anywhere you fancy. If it's for this year, make sure you look at the deadlines for application, because quite a few of them have been closed for a while.

thanks! i've actually applied through UCAS already, but just incase i didn't get into the ones that i like, i think i might do a foundation year and re-apply next year. but thanks so much for your help! x

Everyone at the interview I went to just wore their usual clothes. Well at least that what it seemed like. Nothing special. Show your personality, not some generic interview look as if its your first day at work.

I haven't had any interviews yet, but since it's for an art course I wouldn't go wearing something traditionally smart, or even smart-casual. If you have a particular style, I'd stick with that as long as it's not inappropriate (e.g. I don't think it'd be the best idea to go wearing fishnet tights and a corset if that's the way you normally dress!).

Showing your personality through your clothes would be a good thing, I'd think. It'd make you stand out a bit from anyone else who decided to go smartly-dressed, and if you have a particularly distinctive fashion sense it'll help you stick in their minds when they review everyone at the end of the interviews. For example, a girl with bright pink hair is going to be someone they'll remember, even if it's only because of her hair and not her work. She might then have an advantage over someone plain-looking with mediocre work, 'cause the interviewers will think "oh yeah, I remember her, she's the one with the weird hair...".

Of course, I'm not saying that normal-looking people will be at a disadvantage because of their appearance. Just that they might be less memorable if their work isn't particularly note-worthy.

I hope you get what I mean, I feel liking I'm digging myself into a bit of a hole here!

EDIT: Uh, why the neg? I basically said the same as the others who answered!

i had an interview at kent yesterday for fine art (and got an offer which im really excited about) and in terms of dress everyone was really quite casual or at least looked like they had dressed like they normally would, saying that noone wore blue jeans, just black ones or or other coloured jean-like trousers. and because it's art the interviews and professors are usually quite informal anyways (and at my interview the profs were wearing jeans with shirts and jumpers).

Depends where you're going really, but usually art interviews are full of...shall we say eccentric types? Just don't look boring I'd say.
