Throughout this course you will learn strategies for preparing for an interview, writing your r?sum? and most importantly developing your portfolio. Your portfolio is representative of who you are and the skills you have to offer as a designer. A strong portfolio will play an essential role in landing that first job in your chosen career, but first you need to decide what will be in that portfolio and how you will present it.
For this week’s project you will write a 2 – 4 page project plan that lays out a strategy for the development of your final portfolio (that will be due for the presentation). While writing your project plan consider and answer the following questions:
What type of media will you use to present your work: a website, video real, interactive PDF?
Who is your target audience?
What type of theme will you design around?
How many examples of design will be included in your collection?
What will you add or remove from your current collection of design projects thus far?
How will you begin the creative process?
Keep in mind that this project plan is your contract with your instructor. Think carefully about the type of portfolio you wish to develop and stick to your plan. You are free to modify as you move through the course but must ensure that the instructor approves of your new plans. They are industry experts, so leverage their expertise and wisdom!
