As I finished my last semester at Lesley University, I took a 2 year long semester course called Design Senior Studio. The first half of this course focuses on developing an independent voice as a designer and generating portfolio materials. As part of the construction of a professional graphic design portfolio, existing projects are evaluated, refined, and expanded. We also concentrate on framing and presenting works in the context of professional problem-solving and situations outside of the classroom. We will learn how to pinpoint a specific area of interest and begin research and development for an autonomous design project that will be finished in the second half of the semester. The final part of the course was dedicated to creating, producing, and presenting a large independent design project based on study and planning.
