Do you wish to make great advertisements? As a Creative Advertising student, you are exposed to the different aspects of Advertising Communications from Strategic Planning, Concept Development, Digital and Social Media Content Development and Management, Copywriting, Art Direction, Account Management, Applied Research, Public Relations, and more.

Put it this way - Creative Advertising is a course for hardcore advertising professionals.

Typically, admissions to such Advertising Masters is based on a creative portfolio (besides of course your academic background and other relevant test scores). Most Universities worldwide accept digital portfolios ie. you could upload your designs and send a link to the University along with other application documents. Kindly note that there is not one right portfolio template. It is the way you create, what you decide to show, how you have done over the last few years improving your designs or work and more. Remember: Marketing your ideas through your design portfolio is the key.

Some websites / suggestions to host digital portfolios are:
Blog: You could use blogger or wordpress
Carbonmade
Behance
SlideShare
Jobary

There are a large number of free sites for portfolio hosting available online.

Some Universities wish to see your portfolio on specific sites only and in a specific manner or methodology. Do check the entry requirements before sending the information to the Universities.

Good luck! Let your first advertisement be the best one!
