Why I Created This Template

As a university lecturer, I reviewed hundreds of student portfolios and saw strong projects being rejected because the layouts were unclear. I created this Canva template to give students a clear, flexible structure so their work can speak for itself, without spending hours designing pages from scratch.

What’s Included

• 50+ page portfolio structure

• Title pages, project pages, text/image layouts

• Drag-and-drop system you can reuse for every project

Less than the cost of printing one portfolio - use it for your entire degree.

If your floor plans look empty, flat, or hard to read, this guide will fix that. Learn how to draw people and furniture in plan, so your layouts communicate scale, movement, and real life - exactly what tutors look for in first-year projects and portfolios.

This guide is for:

• Architecture & interior students drawing floor plans

• Portfolio applicants

• Anyone whose plans look empty or unclear

By the end, you’ll be able to:

• Draw people correctly in plan view

• Place furniture at the right scale

• Make your plans easier to read instantly

• Communicate space clearly in portfolio layouts

Taught to hundreds of university students

When teaching architecture and interior design students, I noticed that many struggled with floor plans, not because of layout, but because their drawings lacked people, furniture, and a sense of scale.

This ebook was created to clearly explain how to draw people and furniture in plan view so your drawings communicate space, proportion, and intention more effectively.

What’s Included

• A downloadable PDF ebook

• Clear hand-drawn examples

• Simple explanations of scale and proportion

• Practical references you can use while drawing

USE THIS WITH THE FLOOR PLAN COURSE

This ebook is the perfect companion to the Learn to Draw a Floor Plan by Hand course. First learn the method, then add people & furniture with confidence.

Less than one set of fineliners, a skill you’ll use in every project.
