Mini-Portfolio (VCDP 1293)

Students in this mini-course will review all the work they’ve completed in their first year of the Graphic Design Diploma program. Under the mentorship and guidance of an instructor, students will select past projects to revise or re-attempt in an effort to improve any skills that they struggled with in first-year courses. Reflection and discussion exercises will help students assess strengths, weaknesses, experiences, and interests that appeared during the first-year of the program and then identify possible areas of specialization or improvement to focus on in second year. Students will also create a mini-portfolio that they can later use as the foundation of a personal brand and self-promotion strategy in second year.
