Report from DAI Portfolio Night 2009
DAI Portfolio Night Report
DAI Portfolio Night was an evening where alumni came to our campus to gives share their work and their experience in the department. Later on in the evening, we got a chance to share our portfolios with the alumni and get feedback. I had prepared my portfolio that night and was able to receive feedback. I spoke to Asya, who works with interactive media and with Tiffany Norlock who works in the marketing and advertising field.
Asya was very helpful in her feedback. She was constructive and to the point. On a positive note, she strongly reacted to my fine art work such as printmaking. That had seemed to catch her eye the most and initiated more conversation through this. For improvement, she told me to have more web design work since that’s the field I’m interested in. She told me to also have layouts for each of my work is something I need to work on. She also told me to have a stronger resume which reflected me as a designer.
The other young woman I spoke to was Tiffany Norlock, who works in marketing and advertising. She also really was drawn towards my fine art work as well and asked a lot of questions about them. She was constructive with perhaps smoothing out edges in certain pieces using Illustrator or other Adobe programs. She told me to show my design process behind my work because she says that’s what draws companies towards hiring you.
After speaking to the alumni, I know that I need to do more web design pieces. I have Dreamweaver, but this is a program I need to learn as soon as possible because web design seems crucial for hiring. I need to do a layout for my portfolio as well. These are things I need to work on from now on.
