Test Flight 2023: Virtual Portfolio Review for Designers

Take your portfolio for a test flight. Gather your work and VIRTUALLY join us for the 2023 student portfolio review. Some of Chicago’s best and brightest professionals will provide feedback on your in-progress design work and help you sharpen up your presentation skills before you get in front of a recruiter for your dream job.

A day before the event AIGA Chicago will email registered participants a confirmation of which section (morning or afternoon) they are in, and a Zoom link to participate in the event.

On April 1 log into Zoom at your confirmed time through the link sent to you the day before.

Morning Session 10:00 AM – 11:35 PM

Afternoon Session 12:15 PM – 2:00 PM

Participants will be assigned to a Zoom breakout room with a reviewer.

  • Reviews will be one-to-one and 20 minutes each
  • Use the share screen feature in Zoom to present up to four digital in-progress projects. Suggested formats: PDF case studies, website, Behance. All the work should be in one place or document.

Notes on using Zoom:

  • No need to download Zoom (on desktop) or even sign up for an account (Zoom web client)
  • An internal computer mic is acceptable. External mic optional.
