CSM Portfolio

Today I just realized that the csm portfolio requirements for both foundation and undergrad (fashion) got cut down from 30 pages to 15 pages...I had 30 pages, and now i've reduced to 17 pages. I still need to delete 2 pages, and here are my options:remove a fashion project that is two pages, or remove the process photos of two of my art projects. If I delete the fashion project, I would end up with only one fashion project. If I delete the process photos, I think the examiners won't really see the details and the amount of work I've put into them...Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any comments!

Hey, CSM do love looking at progress and a variation of art skills, and if you’re also applying for foundation course, I think putting in the process pages would be a little better than the single fashion project

Hi, omg I am applying to foundation and undergrad (fashion). I too just found out like a day ago! I have been preparing for 30 pages and now I am so lost because if I remove pages, my entire flow will be messed up. I was wondering if it's mandatory to have art projects? I mostly have fashion projects, inside which I have explored textile and etc. Do I need any art-specific projects like paintings and drawings?
Hi! I'm just wondering where you got this information that it was cut down from 30 to 15 pages? Could you send the link please?

Could you send the link where you got the information from? About how it was cut down from 30 to 15 pages?

This is CSM's foundation page. If you scroll down to "What happens next", you'll see it says 15 pages of your work.

I have 2 fashion projects and 7 art projects, just for reference (I think I have too much fine art projects tho). My art projects are mostly installations and videos...so for some of them my processes are super important...It's so painful to cut them down into 15 pages.

Ikr! But I have too many fashion design projects and not so many other mediums. So right now I'm working on animation and or other valuable projects to add to my portfolio.
