How to take a great profile photo

• Taken in landscape (wide) orientation
• Framed mid-chest or shoulders up, with space above your head
• High quality, at least 1MB file size
• Clear background - e.g. outdoors or against a wall
• Well-lit, with minimal shadows

Portfolio ideas

• A project or item you created or contributed to during your study
• A visual from a work placement or industry setting
• An award or recognition (not your certificate received at graduation)
• A relevant work-in-progress, concept, or showcase image

Tip: Think of something visual that tells the story of your learning or skills in action.
