I&#8217;m a designer in a very loose sense of the word. I think I&#8217;ve got a pretty good eye, and I&#8217;m fortunate to have worked with some amazing designers over the years (hi, Penny and John), so I&#8217;ve tried to learn as much as I can from them.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a title=\"Portfolio Review (Dec '11) by VFS Digital Design, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vfsdigitaldesign\/6589717271\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7160\/6589717271_9e36c614d6_q.jpg\" alt=\"Portfolio Review (Dec '11)\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photos by <a href=\"dannychan.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Danny Chan<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That being said, one thing I didn&#8217;t get to experience in college was the portfolio review. If you haven&#8217;t been to one, basically a bunch of students bring their work (hence the portfolio part) and have it reviewed and receive feedback from professionals.<\/p>\n<p>I attended one such portfolio review a few weeks ago being put on by the <a href=\"https:\/\/cleveland.aiga.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cleveland chapter of AIGA<\/a> (American Institute of Graphic Arts.)<\/p>\n<p>It was a pretty cool experience. I got to review some great (and some not-so-great) work from students who are finishing up their design programs and head out into the real world.<\/p>\n<p>My University doesn&#8217;t have a graphic design program, so I was interested to see the students and their experience coming out of other local programs.<\/p>\n<p>I got to share my feedback, slightly less on the design side but from the eye of a creative director and\/or project manager. In a few cases, I tried to put myself in the client&#8217;s shoes and explain why certain aspects of a design worked or didn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>I hope it was beneficial for the students to get some honest, yet encouraging feedback, from me. I learned from the experience and can&#8217;t wait to do it again next fall. In fact, we liked one of the students so much she&#8217;s coming to interview with us for a job.<\/p>\n<p>If you have the chance to attend any type of student portfolio review and give back a bit of your expertise and experience, I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I attended a portfolio review a few weeks ago being put on by the Cleveland chapter of AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts.)
