GDES 4363 Portfolio is a Lecture/Studio developed to help create and refine a body of design work that constitutes a professional design portfolio. We will also discuss professional issues related to Professional Practice. Preparing a professional portfolio is an essential part of transitioning from a design student to a working designer. A strong professional portfolio can also provide an important foundation for developing a successful future design career. The course assignments will guide students to improve their current student portfolio pieces, develop new portfolio pieces, and present their work and themselves to prospective employers in a compelling way. There will be guest speakers who are design school graduates working locally. They will share their portfolio, job search strategies, and interviewing experiences. Readings will be recommended for additional guidance and reference.
