Firstly there is no templete for a portfolio because each portfolio is different. As long as you set out things in the neatest and clearest ways, the markers will then be able to give you marks.
What are you actually having problems with, is it the layout or the actual information?
Plus out of curiosity, how come you haven't started yet?

Yeh.. there are specific headings u need to use for ur MDP (Major design project), more specificly there are 4 parts, Proposal, Management, Development & Realization and Evaluation..
Project Proposal (which uh.. should have been done already.. lolz)
- Identification and Exploration of the Need
- Area of Investigation
- Criteria to Evaluate Success
Management
- Action Plan (Proposed and Acutal)
- Time Plan (Proposed and Actual)
- Budget Plan (Proposed and Actual)
- Selectrion and Use of Ideas and Resources
Development and Realisation (The major part)
= Evidence of Creativity and Innovation
= Consideration of Design Factors
= Documentation of Research
= Evidence of Testing Design Solutions
= Application of Conclusion
= Use of Communication and Presentation Techniques
= Evidence of Practical Skills
= Insutrial / Commercial Practices
Evaluation
- Record of Evaluation Procedures
- Application of Evaluation
- Analysis and Evaluation of Aesthetics and Functional Properties
- Final Evaluation
- Relational of the MDP to the Project Proposal
i did my HSC like in 2003, but yet still i doubt these has changed since. But i believe that to get decent marks, u HAVE to take all these sections into ur MDP portfolio (i just took them straight from my portfolio), they are the standard headings. You could also add in other headings, but make sure u justify them.
It is not hard writing the portfolio, is just takes time. But seriously, dun make it the last minute thing. Coz i did it, and man.. i didnt sleep for a whole week, just to get the 400pages finished... tho glad it was over
i strongly suggest u get the Excel Design Tech textbook if u have no textbook for DT in ur school. It got great explaination and all other stuff u need for the HSC.
Also if u are looking for the length for ur Portfolio.. i think (depends on what u are doing for MDP).. 100 A4 Pages is bare minimum for a huge project like this.. I think when i did it the average for the year was round about 270's pages.
If u still dun get, drop a line, but otherwise
good luck

Don't forget it's not about length, but how come you havent been guided by your teachers?
If you go to the board of studies website you should be able to find a marking scheme and it will tell you everything that should be included!

yeh.. try the bookstore rather than the newagency.. like dymocks and boarders those kinda place are bound to have some. And in ur case in doing T shirts.. i think in boarders there are heaps of design book that could help u with the designs of ur t-shirts.. and just reminding.. i will give u to full title and author of the book:

You can read minds?
There is a guide at the top of this forum which gives you a general framework for your portfolio.
And szdg is right, use the specific headings because the markers are going to mark according to their sheet. If you notice, those headings are exactly what the marking sheet uses, so considering they only mark your project for a max 20mins, it is easier for them to see the "keypoints". Use the resources people have suggested and you should have no problem.

Also dude, your teacher should outline what he/she wants out of you also. as you have to fulfill all your internal assessments at school as well as meeting the ones outside school
