THE EVENT:

The review is a chance for you to practice your interviewing skills and get valuable feedback from local professionals about your design work and résumé in a no-risk, non-competitive environment geared at preparing you for the professional portfolio presentation process.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND? 

You will receive objective advice and thoughtful one-on-one commentary and criticism of your design work from local design educators, professional designers, and potential employers. While this event is not a job fair, some reviewers may be looking for potential employees or interns. This event is a great way to discuss your work, network and become aware of who’s who in your local design community.

WHO CAN ATTEND:

Students: The review is open to college seniors, upcoming 2015 graduates, and MFA candidates (maximum capacity of 80 students)

Reviewers: The review is open to local art, design and communication professionals and educators interested in helping our local design students prepare themselves for their professional careers.

COST:

AIGA Student Members: $10
Student non-members: $20
Free for reviewers

WHAT TO BRING:

Bring 12-15 pieces of your best work from your portfolio, as well as multiple copies of your résumé and business cards. If you plan on showing interactive or rich-media work, please bring a fully-charged laptop. WiFi will be available in the GE Theater.
