Your sample can be anything you have ever done to express yourself creatively. This might be computer art or designs, photography, film or video projects, narrative stories or scripts, scale models, songs or music, illustrations, paintings, sculpture, etc. Ideally it should be submitted in a format that we can keep, i.e. duplicates.
