One of the drawings is a mandatory task. This year the mandatory task is a drawing of the theme: "The laundry room". It is important that you hand in the accurate number of sample works and that the obligatory assignment is included, in order for your application to be accepted.

The material for your drawings is optional – graphite, indian ink, carbon or crayon. The drawings should be made on paper. The painting material is also optional – oil, acrylic, gouache, watercolour, pastel chalk or spray colour. The paintings should be made on canvas, board or paper. We prefer all these work samples to be originals.

Applicants for the programme GRAPHIC DESIGN AND ILLUSTRATION must make an additional task. Create a logotype or mark of a fictional jeans brand called “Reverse”. Make at least one logotype that can be used for different purposes: a label, a tag, perhaps a bag. Use the material of your own choice: graphite, different pen types, cut and paste or use the computer. We will judge the execution as well as your ideas. If you have any questions regarding this special task, please send an e-mail to: martin.josefsson@nyckelviksskolan.se
