In-Person Portfolio Review

The scholarship interview is your opportunity to convey your interest and passion for 平面设计. What interests you about being a designer? Even if you are just starting out, if you have a great passion and perhaps the start of some strong projects, 我们想见见你! Where do you get your inspiration? Who are your favorite designers or artists? Do you ever check out the student section of AIGA.com? What would you like to be involved in at Carthage? DRAFT, our 平面设计 group? 我们的报纸? Getting to know you is an important part of this interview.
