Project Description

Portfolio requirements

Brief written descriptions of the projects should accompany each piece. Written explanations are an essential element of a project so, while your design is important, we are interested in the way you describe your project and express your ideas. We understand that many design projects are team-based so please include a statement about your role in the design.

Projects can be class assignments, professional, or self-initiated.

“The Interaction Design field has evolved so quickly, even the tech industry can barely keep up with its growth – the shortage of skilled interaction

designers is just overwhelming. We need these graduates to continue our symbiotic relationship with the economy of Los Angeles and California.”
