Through in-person and virtual discussions, your instructor will help you navigate what might be your first time working in the “real world” and develop a further understanding of your part in a professional design team.

The objective of this course is to make sure you’re able to demonstrate the skills you’ve acquired throughout the program in a professional setting. This experience will enhance your understanding of the graphic design profession, allow you to exercise the self-management necessary for a commitment to lifetime learning, and teach you to apply analytical and critical thinking skills to a variety of design concepts and solutions in a workplace environment.

We’ll cap off the semester with an organized Portfolio Review event. You’ll have the opprtunity to meet and review your work with people from industry-leading companies like Pentagram, BARREL, and Fast Company who are devoted to giving you actionable insights on improving your design portfolio.

Good luck!
