Come check out the fall 2008 portfolios Tuesday!

This past Tuesday several of our students participated in our portfolio review held every semester.  Students spent the entire semester revising projects for their portfolios, creating a self identity system which included developing a business card, resume and self promotional piece. Now that review is complete the students will be in class next week to share their portfolios with classmates. You all are welcome to join in and see the finished portfolios and hear first hand about the student’s experiences. This is a perfect opportunity for students to see what they can anticipate if they intend on taking portfolio review in future semesters. If you’re interested in attending we’ll be meeting Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 at 3:30 pm on East Campus in building 1 room 214.

Here are a few photos from the night:

A HUGE THANKS TO THE PROFESSIONALS!
Once again portfolio review night was a huge success, in part due to the generosity of some of our local creative professionals who spent a few hours on campus reviewing the student’s work. A huge thanks to the following professionals who participated this semester:

Glen Bowman, Metropolis Advertising
Dawn Beard, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Laura Couallier, Laura Hermann Design
James Caruso, Easily Amused Inc.
James Tyron, Easily Amused Inc.
Jay Rieckmann, Flitehaus
Jeff Matz, Lure Design Inc.

ARE YOU LOOKING TO HIRE A TALENTED DESIGNER?
Because we have a mix of print and interactive students, not all students have web sites. Students who have web sites online we share through the portfolio page on our blog. We continually have students looking for internships and jobs. If you’re looking to hire or perhaps your seeking freelance help from one of our students send me over an email at akern [at] valenciacc.edu.
