Graphic Design Portfolio Review
10 weeks · 0 milestones
Curated professional portfolio of minimum 6 graphic design brief responses presented for formal critical review. Triad: concept/ideation artifact (curatorial rationale: why these pieces were selected, what range they demonstrate, what the portfolio communicates about the designer's identity and approach), technical execution artifact (each project represented with final design deliverables — not work-in-progress; all files at production quality), critique/documentation artifact (written case study for each project: brief received, design approach, key decisions made, and outcome — minimum 150 words per case study). Studio critique: formal or informal portfolio review by a working graphic designer (minimum 3 years professional practice) with documented written feedback on professional readiness, craft level, and areas for development. Proof: portfolio (URL or PDF), case studies, documented critique feedback. Verifier: working graphic designer (minimum 3 years professional practice) or graphic design tutor.

Curate a portfolio of four to six projects demonstrating range across brief type (identity, editorial, campaign, type-led), scale (print, digital, environmental), and approach. For each project write a case study (300–400 words) covering the brief, your design process, key decisions made, and honest evaluation of what succeeded and what you would do differently.
Proof required
Submit your portfolio draft (minimum 20 pages of visual work) and project case studies for each work as a PDF.
What gets checked
- Four to six projects with genuine range across brief type, scale, and approach
- Each case study covers all four elements: brief, process, decisions, and honest evaluation
- Honest evaluation identifies what you would do differently — not only what succeeded
