You have your dream portfolio to actively think about your inspiration and goals as a designer. The document should be as visual as possible. That is to say: we prefer to see a lot (not too frugal) things that inspire you / that you find cool, than a written explanation.
The Dream Portfolio consists of two elements:
How does that work together? These two elements give a good picture of the things you pursue as a professional but also offer guidance in setting goals. So it should not stay with just collecting things, you also have to analyze this and filter out plans.
Note: the Dream Portfolio is about your dreams. Dreams may be vague and only become clear plans later. Your inspiration and your dreams are yours, so the teachers do not care what you add or describe in terms of content and in a way the interpretation is entirely up to you! Also, remember that dreams don’t necessarily have to be feasible, or seem feasible!
For example: Inspiration; what skills do you have to develop to make these things yourself? And where can you learn it? Are there teachers you need to talk to? Workshops you should follow? Experts to follow online, etc.
Dream job; what skills, knowledge and mindset are asked in vacancies of your dream job? What steps should you take within the training to get there? Think ahead: which Studios, which workshops and also matters such as internship opportunities that prepare you as well as possible for your future as a designer.
The way you do it is up to you, but the two pages you find below must be completed anyway and form the basis of conversations with your mentor.

The following blocks may be added if they are relevant to you, or if you are explicitly asked for them in your Studio. You may also need these blocks later in your studies to describe your vision of the future more explicitly.
