Portfolio Day 11

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.

You will receive your personalized Portfolio Day schedule on June 4 when you check in. You will receive four reviews and we will ensure that you receive at least one of your top four requested choices. Because each reviewer has only 4 or 8 reviews slots each, only that many students can see them during the day.

You may bring your portfolio in book form, or load your images on a laptop and bring that with you. There will be wifi available.
