Where will this take place?

The reviews are pre-recorded and saved within our password-protected classroom; you also get access to a private Facebook group for all registered students,. By seeing Lilla review a selection of portfolios, you will learn a ton about how to make yours better.  You’ll also have access to the vaults to see extra bonus reviews.

  • How to make a homepage that sells the art director or agent on your awesomeness and makes them want to see more
  • How to organize your website for an art director’s ease of use so they can find what they need
  • How many pieces are good to show—how to sell the story of what your style is and if you’re showing too many or too few pieces
  • Whether you should have two websites or should you put everything on one site
  • Why it’s ok to show your hobbies, crafts and other interests, and where to put them
