REVIEWED: A Portfolio Critique

We invite you to join the Chicago Graphic Design Club, One Design Company, and Artisan Talent for REVIEWED: A Portfolio Critique.


Your portfolio is one of the most important aspects of being in the creative field. It represents you, your thinking, and your work. Do I have what I need included? Is it arranged correctly? Is it good enough? Will it help me stand out? These and hundreds of other questions enter your mind when working on yours.

This is your chance to get your portfolio reviewed and critiqued in person by industry professionals. Whether you’re an experienced designer or just starting out, this is a fantastic opportunity to show your work, receive valuable feedback from others, and converse with fellow creatives.

What to Expect
