Test Flight 2024: Virtual Portfolio Review for Designers

Test out your portfolio! Gather your work and VIRTUALLY join us for the 2024 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 6, 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 projects through your computer. Suggested formats: website, PDF case studies, Behance. All the work should be in one place or document.
  • This is not a portfolio workshop. Your portfolio should be in a place that is considered ready for a comprehensive review/interview.

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.
  • Computer webcam or external webcam only for face-to-face review.

This event will allow registration that is in line with available reviewers. If registration is closed, check back for possible openings. The event is open to all students and emerging designers.
