Instructions for this assignment were to create a poster for the upcoming event Reality Check by AIGA. The portfolio process can be very intimidating for students like myself. There are sour and sweet parts throughout the journey. The anxiety and stressful process of creating a portfolio can leave an initially sour taste for many students. The intense critiques of professionals might have students feeling like they just bit into a sour lemon. However, the sweetness that comes after this brutality is better than one could ever imagine. The sweet help from the professionals can help transform an initially sour experience in to a polished final product.
