Hi @polkozashki, it's great to know you're considering your postgraduate options whilst still completing your undergrad!
I'm assuming it's the MA Fashion Media and Communication course you're considering? (lmk if not!)
For a strong portfolio for this course, after you've followed all the advice on portfolios on our website,
delving deeper into the showcasing how some of the topics mentioned in the course are significant to you is important. In this degree, you get to explore a range of fields (e.g. experiential design, creative direction, strategy, UI/UX, gaming, AI etc.), so demonstrating your interests here, in your chosen media forms, can really help tell your story.

Also, here is an example of some of the work our graduates get up to on this course, hopefully that can help give you more of an idea. Wishing you all the best! x
