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.”

“Good design is as little design as possible.”
