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.
