## Overview

A portfolio is a designer's calling card. Job-seeking designers must capture the interest of potential clients and employers, but the elements of an attention-grabbing portfolio are far from obvious. This class changes that.

In this class, Ram Castillo will help you through every stage of portfolio development from conceptualization to organization to presentation.

Think of your portfolio as a sales pitch. As a designer, you are offering a service that the employer is buying. Learn how to sell your skills through the content and structure of your portfolio. Ram will help you develop a clear action plan for creating a design portfolio that stands out.

You will learn how to:

- Filter and organize your design work
- Photograph and render project pieces
- Choose an online portfolio structure

Ram will help you develop a portfolio that clearly articulates who you are as a designer and the skills, insights, vision, and potential you bring to the table.
