The San Francisco chapter of AIGA invites you to Portfolio Day. Known as the best portfolio review on the West Coast, this is an opportunity for students to get valuable one-on-one feedback on their portfolio and career goals from some of the Bay Area’s best designers. Over 90 top Bay Area designers will serve as reviewers.

Check out these tips on presenting your portfolio.

Portfolio Day Schedule

Keynote Speaker: Christopher Simmons, MINE

Break Out Sessions
Kate Gilman, RISD graduate, and Creative Recruiter for 24 Seven will be on hand to give industry tips on how to get your foot in the door. As a supplement to the portfolio reviews, join Kate as she gives tips on resume layout, interview preparation, follow-up skills, and more. Feel free to come with questions.

We invite you to join us at the Official Portfolio Day After Party!

Continue the conversation and relax after a long day.

Please head on over to Thee Parkside at 4:00 pm for some food and beer on us. We will have a portion of the back patio area, by the ping pong tables, roped off for the AIGA after party. All ages welcome, you must be over 21 to drink, and you will be carded at the door.

Hello,

I was wondering if you knew a rough estimate of how many students will be attending this event (or last years rough number) so the reviewers are assured of at least reviewing 1-3 students/per reviewer.

Thank you.

Regards,

Sal Randazzo

I am a potential employer in Sacramento; (I think) a current AIGA member…
We might be looking to hire a young designer. Is there a way for non-panel members to come see portfolios?
