NEW FALL COURSE: DES INV 190 DESIGNING YOUR PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO

The Jacobs Institute is launching a new short course this fall: DES INV 190: Designing Your Professional Portfolio. Having a great portfolio is key to landing a job in the design profession. This course aims to help get a student’s portfolio off the ground by showing good and bad examples, strategies on creating impressions for reviewers, and a step-by-step guide on how to put one’s first portfolio together. We will review/critique student portfolios together as a way to learn and build up on each other’s work. Students will receive additional feedback from design professionals and guest reviewers on how to refine and push their portfolios past the first finish line.

This one-unit course will be taught by Purin Phanichphant on Fridays over 8 weeks this fall (September 9 - October 28). Enrollment/participation (including # of auditors) is limited and requires an application. Applications are due by Friday, September 2. Learn more on this one page overview

Hi, quick clarification about the last announcement heading--the extra few words at the start are a typo. The heading should just read:
