talk about it passionately - you haven't just done this for the course.
what is your focus. what are your skills, what are you talented at - i.e. traditional print, issue base design, copy writing..

identify what you don't wanna focus on

professionally presented examples of your work
how are we getting you as a creative out in the world, do you have a brand or identity - what are you doing to get your work out there.

opportunities you're gonna take advantage in level 6 and the summer

what you're gonna concentrate on in third year

third years often taken for granted of being an art student - use everything.
think about what agencies to get in touch with over summer and third year.

make sure it is structured
cover all four sections in a clear and synced way
don't present excuses!!!!!!!!!

your interview doesn't have to be with a graphic designer!!! can work with people relevant to what you wanna do. i.e. media - can be lecturers

ppp is all about your ambitions and engagement not about theory base.
