Case study
GRAPHIC DESIGN, BFa, portfolio
Goal
1
A student was transferring from an illustration background to a graphic design program.
Our primary goal was to narrow down this student’s portfolio pieces and curate their application for various graphic design programs in the US & UK.
Changes
2
Graphic design projects were added and prioritized. Some pre-existing design projects were built out with process photos.
We honed in on the strongest illustration pieces to highlighting a broad range of skills while showing design thinking in a different medium.
