SPD-U Summer Portfolio Review 2015 Wrap-Up

It may be summer, but you wouldn't know it looking at the photos from our Summer Portfolio Review on July 22. The lucky attendees of this limited-audience event brought in their portfolios and printouts and iPads and laptops, and got one-on-one time with our reviewers. Unlike the typical review you'd get during a job interview, our panel of reviewers were there to give honest feedback on both the work and the format to help students strengthen what they had. But don't just take it from us! See what some of the students had to say:

"It was really nice talking to the professional designers and having them recommend a bunch of other designers who have similar styles and interests." --Hieu Tran, student at the Maryland Institute College of Art

"Meeting with professionals and getting feedback at the portfolio review has really helped me improve my work." --Francis Vazquez, student at the School of Visual Arts

"Really nice, I had good feedback." -- Lee Jacob Hilado, student at City College
