    So I got in to NCAD and will be starting in September. Wondering if anyone's interested in receiving some help? I need a summer job to pay for all the materials now :D

    I can at least get people started and answer questions, give advice from what I've heard and what I've experienced, then when summer's up people can continue on their own or if they're really stuck I could continue helping them.

    Before I start advertising or figuring out times and whatnot I was going to check here for interest and probably cross-post to the Leaving Cert forum too. I know a teacher who's giving them for around €300 weekly after school (with a group) so I was thinking of doing them individually for €5-€10 for an hour or two.


    Any takers?

    Has anybody got a catalogue of NCAD product/industrial design show of 2013? I live in Dublin, so PM me if you have it. I would greatly appreciate this. Also, if there is a web link, that would be fantastic.

    Thanks!

    Mod note - I don't think it is getting the response desired and instead is coming across as an advert. I understand that this was not your intention OP, but to avoid having other threads pop up with the same intention, I have to lock this.

    If anyone wants to give you feedback, they can do so via PM.

    Yep I think it's kinda like another section C from the portfolio, except it becomes the basis for your first project....apparently we have to hang them up on the first day to see each others work

    First of all hi :) great to meet you! I'm still waiting on my letter too so I'm kinda relieved that they didn't just forget :P I reckon we'll get them on Monday.

    We have to do a other bit like section c of the portfolio I've heard.

    I live in dublin so I won't be renting. Where are you from?

    Hi there nice to meet you! My name is Bella. I am from Miami, my family are living in Wexford at the moment so its waayy to far for me to commute! NCAD is such a small college it doesn't have any forums about people looking for accomodation, which sucks because id like to find people in the same year to live with! :) oh where are you from?? Which course are you doing, Fine Art? Ill be going into Product Design but we all do Core year together which is cool! :) Cannot wait to start!! :D

    Miami ...that's so cool! I was in Florida over the summer! I'm living on the outskirts of dublin so it will take me an hour on a bus and a 30 min walk to get into ncad :)

    I'm doing core and then maybe visual communication but not sure.
    Are you looking for somewhere around Thomas street?

    I'm so excited!! I really want the letter to come soon!

    Hey, new here.
    So im going into sixth year this year, and only started thinking about art college last year. Was supposed to do work for a portfolio over summer, but that did NOT work out. I literally have nothing good enough for the portfolio and am freaking out now bc i suddenly really want to go to NCAD. Is it any way possible i could do a portfolio between now and feb??? Or am i completely f'd? Also, in the portfolio, are they looking for more technical skill, or good ideas?

    Hi :D nice to meet you! Okay first of all DON'T WORRY! I was in the exact same position as you last year. All I did over the summer was 3 mind maps and them I was left with the whole reSt of the portfolio to do over 6th year... And I got it done. There was lots of late nights and feeling like it would never happen but if you really want it there's no reason you can't do it in the time you have!

    They deffinatly look for creative thinking and good ideas. That's deffo the key to getting accepted. I personally didn't go to a portfolio prep course and had no idea what they were looking for and to a certain extent I think that weighed in my favour since I had no set formula. Technical skill will help you but it's not the be all and end all.

    Good luck! If you really want it you can make it happen. Feel free to ask for any help you need
