REVIEW FAQ
What is a portfolio review?
It is an optional opportunity to show and discuss your portfolio — as a presentation tool, as a narrative device, as a graphic document, as a cohesive compilation of works — with designers that have all gone through the process of compiling their own bodies of work and presenting them in various forms.
What should I expect?
You will meet with a practicing graphic designer and show your work-in-progress portfolio. Reviewers can offer editorial, technical and visual advice on your academic portfolios. They will not advise on how to get a job or what an employer is looking for. Our concern is to help you conceptually and visually think through the task of presenting ideas.
How much time will I have?
Each group (of 2–3 students) will have about 25–30 minutes to briefly present and receive feedback.
What should I bring?
Bring printouts or PDFs of your WIP portfolios (as well as relevant reference materials if you wish). The more you bring, the more help/feedback you will receive.
When should I show up?
You will choose to meet on Saturday or Sunday (Feb 4 or 5) at ware Lounge. Please be on time. If you don’t show up at your given time, you will forfeit your slot.
