LESSON 1 OF 3

Build a portfolio case study

25 minContent studio
WHAT YOU WILL DO

Show the problem, process, output, and limits.

A portfolio case study explains your contribution. State the brief and audience, show selected drafts, describe important changes, and include the final assets or detailed mockups.

Label fictional campaigns and practice data clearly. Do not turn a simulated result into a client success story. A thoughtful explanation of a revision is more useful than a fabricated performance claim.

Keep the case study focused. Choose a few decisions that demonstrate your skill, such as correcting an unsupported claim or changing a layout after a readability test.

Read the fictional practice brief

FICTIONAL PRACTICE BRIEF: Green Bench is a student repair club. It runs a free notebook-cover repair workshop on Saturday, 14:00 to 16:00, in Room B. There are 12 places. Learners bring one worn notebook; tools and scrap card are provided. Register using the club form. No date, form URL, access arrangements, impact figures, or testimonials have been supplied. Ask the organiser about missing details before publishing. This is a creative exercise, not a real event.

WORKED EXAMPLE · FICTIONAL PRACTICE

Write a short case-study outline for your fictional Green Bench campaign.

Brief and role

This fictional portfolio project invited first-year students to a notebook repair workshop. I wrote the brief, directed the visuals, and edited the assets.

Evidence of process

Show the first caption, the fact-check log, and the revised version. Explain how the edit removed an unsupported promise and clarified registration.

Results and limits

The pack is a practice campaign with simulated metrics. It demonstrates my process but does not claim real audience or client results.

Keep this in mind

My contribution is clear.

LESSON 2 OF 3

Review and hand over the final pack

25 minContent studio
WHAT YOU WILL DO

Make the files understandable to the next person.

A handover contains final assets, editable sources, captions, access text, source records, and open questions. Use names that show the asset, version, and status.

Check the pack from the recipient perspective. Can they find the latest file, understand what is approved, and see what still needs confirmation? Remove duplicate drafts from the final folder.

A course checklist cannot certify creative quality. Ask a peer or mentor for feedback when possible, record the changes you make, and choose a skill to practise next.

WORKED EXAMPLE · FICTIONAL PRACTICE

Write a handover note with file organisation, release status, and next learning steps.

File organisation

Keep final caption, poster, email, and video storyboard together, with editable sources, transcripts, and the source and permission logs in labelled folders.

Release status

This fictional pack is ready for portfolio review only. A real release would still require an actual date, approved links, and organiser approval.

Next improvement

Ask a peer to find the registration action and review the reading order. Record their feedback and revise the least clear asset.

Keep this in mind

The latest files and editable sources are easy to find.

LESSON 3 OF 3

Practical: present your finished campaign

65 minContent studio
WHAT YOU WILL DO

Assemble your brief, written content, visual pack, video or storyboard, audio plan, calendar, and evaluation into one portfolio.

Bring together the two lessons in this module. Assemble your brief, written content, visual pack, video or storyboard, audio plan, calendar, and evaluation into one portfolio. Use the fictional Green Bench source pack, and keep missing details visible in your working notes.

Your finished work should include: A complete campaign pack and a short case study. A final review log, clear release status, and three next learning goals. Keep the actual text in the workspace. For media, describe your file or storyboard, its version, and the decisions it shows. Media files stay on your device; this form saves text only.

Try this review experiment: Give someone the pack without explaining it first. Record what they cannot find or understand, then improve the handover. Record what changed and why. You may use your own AI tool or work from the supplied sample drafts. Label which approach you used. The checklist checks completeness and your review record, not creative quality.

  1. Revisit lessons 20-01 and 20-02 and collect your drafts.
  2. Assemble your brief, written content, visual pack, video or storyboard, audio plan, calendar, and evaluation into one portfolio.
  3. Use your own tool or the supplied examples. Keep the source facts, prompt, and draft together.
  4. Give someone the pack without explaining it first. Record what they cannot find or understand, then improve the handover.
  5. Revise the work, complete the worksheet, and record any remaining publication blockers.

What to hand in

  • A complete campaign pack and a short case study.
  • A final review log, clear release status, and three next learning goals.
