I started at USF's SACD in the Fall of 2008. I finished Core Design 3 at the end of the following Fall and my Core Portfolio was due the first day of school that following January. At this point I had known that since because I was deferring my Advanced Design A semester to the summer to take it abroad in Spain that I would have a full semester extension to work on my portfolio instead. I decided to work on as much of it as possible over the winter break, and I did, but frankly since my mother died only 2 months before that I needed a mental break so I only developed the "templates" for the whole portfolio (which helped!).
Last week, at the very last minute, I hammered out my portfolio in three days. I turned it in on the morning of the 14th and later that day we had heard back the results. Here is what it said in my letter:
"It is my pleasure to inform you that you have passed the review with high commendation from the faculty. Your portfolio was one of the few to have been selected as a finalist for the faculty's 2010-2011 Outstanding Portfolio Award, the premier design award of the core design sequence."
So, pretty awesome eh!? I'm very honored and excited about this! I plan on posting my portfolio online, but need to figure out the best means to do that. Once I have figured that out I will be posting it here!
