Designed to prepare a professional portfolio utilizing the skills and projects acquired in previous graphic design courses. Students will create an original portfolio and develop a system for presenting their work. The portfolio will be used to obtain employment of to go onto further education. Students will be required to present their finished portfolio to department faculty and advisors for feedback.

Course Objectives
