Portfolio Preparation in Graphic Design

Overview

This is an intermediate level course. It is a practical project based course that focuses on idea generation, concept development and the creation of text and image design through longer, more in-depth projects than in Level 1. Students work to set briefs which are interpreted in an individual way with teacher guidance and feedback. This is not a computer course. The course also includes an information component covering course structure, folio content and interview technique.
