portfolio research (UAL website)

These are segments from the portfolio advice that UAL give you on the website 
'The portfolio should contain examples of research, development of your ideas and final pieces. 
It might include drawings, paintings, sketchbooks, colour studies, materials investigation, design development (2D and 3D), construction, consumer and market information, written notes, design presentation sheets, or any other types of work you choose.
Sketchbooks show your research and help us to understand how you think. They form the background to the more finished work in your portfolio and, together, these tell the whole story of your creative journey.
If you have 3D pieces you should photograph and present these within the portfolio and bring one or two physical examples with you if you have a face-to-face interview/portfolio review.'
This section goes into some of the generic key factors of what they are looking for in a portfolio. In this it gives you some key ideas in how to present certain pieces such as, 3D/sculpture work etc. 
'There is no limit, but you might need to transport the portfolio to an interview (if selected), so be practical.
Five projects, plus sketchbook plans, is a manageable amount of content.'
this was the most relevant point for me as its gave me a exact number to work from. 5 projects and sketch books! this now give me a target and a challenge in war to include because only taking 5 projects will make me critically analyse my work thoroughly.
