Glasgow Ad School / portfolio school / intake one
Learn tohave ideasfor a living.
An intensive 12 week portfolio school in Glasgow for anyone who wants to write and make ads. Real briefs with real feedback. You don't need a degree, a year off or eight grand, just two evenings a week. And some paper. And a pen.
Less lecturing, more creating
We're here for the career changers, the self taught and the under represented. You don't need experience and you definitely don't need a background in Advertising.
This is a 12 week course that builds the speed, confidence and creative thinking needed for the pace and standard of today's industry.
That's 24 evenings of briefs, feedback, agency visits and learning on the job.
One new brief every 45 minutes, it could be anything: Fizzy juice, visit Sweden, regular juice, a charity.
Everything you do will build upon one idea:
Think faster, make better work
The creative test
This is how you get in. Ten odd questions. You pick five and answer them however you like. Write it, draw it, photograph it, stick it together with Pritt.
We're not marking spelling. We're looking for the answer nobody else thought of.

The wall
This is where student work goes. The first intake hasn't finished yet, so for now it's a wall and a bit of tape.
Your work could be here. Currently it's just this bit of tape.
