 Portfolio Considerations

Consider the following in how each portfolio will be reviewed in an abbreviated time span: the number of items of the highest quality to be shown; the manner to which this work has been curated for a fluid sequence; and how these items will benefit from feedback during each of the 15-minute interviews.

Each student will have their portfolio reviewed by professional designers a total of four times.

A shared table will be provided for each designer to present their portfolios in any of the following configuration: as original work [limited space is available for full display of larger or multi-component items], a single composed PDF file, or personal website.

Students must provide their own fully charged laptop. Wifi will be accessible but it is best to have files loaded on devices just in case.
