Course Objective

This course helps senior students in the Department of Interaction Design organize and present their previous design projects into a professional portfolio. The course covers project selection, design storytelling, process documentation, visual layout, personal branding, résumé preparation, self-introduction, online portfolio development, and final portfolio presentation.

Through lectures, case studies, group discussions, individual critiques, and staged presentations, students will develop a portfolio suitable for job applications, internships, graduate school applications, or freelance opportunities. Special emphasis will be placed on clearly communicating problem definition, user research, design process, interaction logic, prototyping, testing, and final outcomes.
