It is important for students to create their portfolio including all the creative processes for their designs. Avoid clustered sketches and focus on creating a neat and uncomplicated compilation of work. Avoid not including concept sketches as interviewers put a lot of attention on how students came to the output rather than just the output itself.
It is important for students to remember that creative processes for interviewers are very important and therefore avoid not explaining your thinking process behind your designs as it can cost you points in the interview. It is important to show why you chose certain layouts, colors, or materials.
Avoid providing examiners with shallow answers like you like sketching or decoration spaces in the interview as it is very important to convince the interviewer why you chose this course and what makes you an ideal candidate. Show your understanding of space planning, sustainability, trends, design principles.
Students should be well prepared for any questions related to the basic knowledge of interior design in the interview process. Don’t ignore reading on elements like lighting, ergonomics, or user centric designs. Also it is important to understand the basic principles of design.
Students should take care that plagiarism is not tolerated in exams and therefore any design in their portfolio which is copied should not be there as it can cost them their admissions. Showing inspirations and processes on how you worked on your design is considered a good design approach instead.
It is understandable that students go through stress and anxiety in the process of an interview as it can be intimidating, but students should keep in mind that confidence is the key here. Be confident with your answers, but also remember to be flexible to feedback.
As Interior design is a collaborative subject therefore it is advised for students to explain their ideas and creative process very clearly. For this, students can practice explaining their designs in a simple, structured way to their friends or relatives before the actual interview.
