PROJECTS REVIEWS
Saturday, Oct 14, 2017 - 9:00am to 12:30pm
The GDC/BC Launch! project (and/or portfolio review) is open to recent graduates aspiring to enter into a career in communication design and to students currently enrolled in a design program. These young designers get the opportunity to show their portfolio or work in progress to several industry professionals to obtain insightful and constructive advice about their current portfolios. This is a great opportunity to practice 'real-world' interview skills and receive honest feedback in a non-competitive environment. This is also a great opportunity to network with the who's who in the Vancouver design community.
