Everything You Need To Know About The PORTFOLIO - Landscape Architecture & Urban Design
In this video Carter is talking about one of the most important things you will need as a designer whether you are a student, prospective student, or practicing landscape architect. Now, this also happens to be one of the most confusing, nerve-racking, and intimidating aspects of design. That's the portfolio, and today we’re going to be talking about exactly what you’ll need, and what to expect, with portfolios. So be sure to stick around till the end so you have a complete idea and are fully prepared to make that perfect portfolio.
Your portfolio is a professional statement of who you are, the kind of work you do, and your process. The very best portfolios not only showcase their work but also narrate who they are as a designer. So this means that your interests, hobbies, and ideas will not only be showcased in skill but will also allude to who it is that you are and how you align with whoever you may be applying or appealing to.
