Building Project Case Studies with Jo-Nell Sieren
Your portfolio is more than a showcase of your work. An effective case study is comprised of much more than a slideshow of images. Your portfolio, and the case studies it contains, is a point of entry into your experience, creative process, strategic perspective, and ability to work within a team.
Creating an effective case study requires learning how to tell a compelling and digestible story, and understanding how that story will be come to life online and off for prospective employers and clients.
Join AIGA Chicago for a workshop focused on turning projects into compelling portfolio narratives. You’ll learn strategies to engage your audience, explain your process, and present the results of your efforts in a compelling light no matter your area of focus—from research to UX to branding and beyond.
