Portfolio Design 001

This class covers practical methods and techniques for constructing and presenting portfolios, as well as considers how you present your artistic practice and in what forms. Class will be composed of peer critique and discussion, in-class exercises, studio visits (online and in-person), and a guest workshop.

There are two primary assignments this semester:

an illustration of the globe focused on east asia
  1. To create your portfolio and circulate your work (this may include personal branding (logo etc.), writing about design, an exhibition, etc.), including the creation of job seeking documents (CV, cover letter, etc.).
Two overlapping speech bubbles
  1. An Interview with a practitioner in your field about what makes a good portfolio and what is important for young designers to consider when transitioning to professional practice for a group publication.

In addition there will be a guest workshop semester that will likely take place outside of class time (more TK). As such, you will need to be available in order to participate. If this is going to be an issue for you, please speak with me after class to discuss.
