CAS-403 Designing Your Portfolio

In this course, students will develop skills and strategies to design and produce an online portfolio for their work. These will be useful tools for students to brand themselves and showcase their abilities to potential graduate schools and employers, and otherwise provide an initial platform from which to begin building a career and a professional identity. We will design live websites to present each type of work and develop a professional persona to represent this early stage of each student's career. We will consider the individual student, their particular projects and the conventions associated with them, their multiple potential audiences, and the goals they could set for their professional online presence. Then students will use web software in creative ways to present themselves and their work to those audiences. This class will mostly be conducted online, with two Saturday workshops in person on Suffolk's campus in downtown Boston, MA.
