Description This subject focuses on the development of your industry orientated practice and personal portfolio development. Throughout the previous core subjects and subject pairings you will have developed particular skills and interests that are beginning to define your design practice and your portfolio. The briefs set in this subject offer you the opportunity to specialise further and to develop your portfolio and will, where possible, include live briefs and competitions. You will continue to refine and develop your visual language, material and digital skills, and continue to develop as an independent learner. The subject will culminate in an industry event, where students will have the opportunity to get their portfolios critiqued by design industry representatives.
