GD V syllabus [ART 4405]

GD V portfolio development 

course description and objectives: 

Students refine projects created in previous coursework for possible inclusion in a professional interview portfolio, and design an identity/brand for themselves. Applying previously learned methods of brand development, these skill will be applied to professional self-promotion by employing: combination of type and image, organization of large amounts of text in a sequential format, consistent application of personal brand identity, logo design, and strong conceptual content. Projects include a comprehensive development of a resume, interview portfolio and simple personal web site (in conjunction with Web Design course.) Common professional practices are discussed as are technical print production and printing issues. Students are expected to develop a comprehensive presentation of their skills for inclusion in a group show at the end of the semester.

learning outcomes:
After completing this course, students will understand procedures for assembling a professional resume and portfolio in preparation for seeking employment and be able to:

• Display the ability to apply a self-promotional brand identity system approach to designing a personal professional portfolio and collateral material
• Demonstrate a knowledge of professional-level resume development
