Project space, computer classroom. Individual distance working spaces.
Student time use and work load
- Student is required to collect and organize all the designs / works in one place / file (online) before starting the course.
- Student is required to work and develop the portfolio outside the contact hours. Contact hours can be also used for photographing the design works if necessary.
Contents
The course is targeted especially at Packaging and Brand Design students. It is suitable for exchange students in related fields, for example, Graphic Design.
During this course, a student learns to compare various professional and international online portfolios and platforms as well as international projects (especially competitions) in an open and dialogic environment.
The student will be guided to which design contest to participate in. There will be a few options to choose from.
For the portfolio, the student can choose the base style, form, and platform that fits the best for her/his/their professional needs. Usually, students build an Adobe portfolio during this course, but it is not a must.
During the international project (competition), the student practices organizational, time management, and presentation skills.
Through the course, the student will learn to express professional goals and articulate his/her/their personal design identity. As a result, the target is that the portfolio and the project will reflect the student’s creativity and personal interests and demonstrate clearly the student's skills and abilities as a designer.
Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.
Note:
- The course is not about teaching and learning any specific platform or software to build a portfolio. The teacher will act as a coach or a guide, and the students need to learn to use the chosen platform on their own. Usually, the portfolio platforms are quite easy to use and students learn them on the go.
- Illustration, Photoshop and ArtiosCAD skills are not mandatory but preferred!
