In this course, which complements Core 3: Capstone, students will document, curate, refine, and creatively showcase a collection of their own work in a variety of portfolio formats to include research, design process, and resolved designs representative of their design philosophy and creative vision with a focus on their area of design specialization. Portfolio development strategies will encompass an exploration of visual communication design for fashion systems including the creation of an expansible digitized research and design archive; a graphically designed print media portfolio; a design process/creative vision video; a designed resume; and an introductory online promotional presence. Class time will include digital documentation of research, design process, and resolved designs; research based mapping of presentation design strategies appropriate to area of specialization to formulate portfolio collateral design direction; written narrative exercises to support portfolio visuals; advanced experimentation with analog and digital techniques for refining and creating multiple iterations of designs; creation of portfolio collateral graphic standard (logos, typography & layout design), and sustainable multi-media approaches to portfolio collateral production. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate the ability to create a cohesively designed suite of portfolio presentation collateral in a variety of flexible mediums and formats (print, e-presentation, video, web) which are designed to establish their personal design identity/brand; share their unique design philosophy and creative vision; elaborate on their design research and creative process; and showcase their resolved designs with a primary focus on their area of design specialization.
