Day 2 – Portfolio Reviews
Open to students and recent graduates aspiring to enter into a career in communication design and students currently enrolled in a design program. Share your portfolios or work in progress to several industry professionals to obtain insightful and constructive advice about your current portfolio. This is a great opportunity to practice ‘real-world’ interview skills and receive honest feedback in a non-competitive environment. This is also a great opportunity to network with the who’s who in the Vancouver design community.
