Room: N5]The physical tactile and digital portfolio consist of an emotional landing page and a series of at least three projects which must include a senior thesis and output which touches on a secondary field of interest (illustration, textile development).  The aggregate output is expected to manifest the student's design aesthetic - complemented by a resonant illustration style and a demonstrated aptitude for creating technical digital flats.Secondary projects (textile development, tailoring sew samples, industrial design, shoe design, bio-fabrication mechanical knitwear, etc.) will be drawn from previous work (competitions, fashion design, and/or elective classes) and will be expected to be specific to the individual student.The resulting tactile portfolios and websites are a requirement for participation in the Senior Thesis Review at the end of the Fall Semester.These portfolios will continue to be refined as the student develops her/his Senior Thesis during the following Spring Semester.  Tactile portfolios are a key element in the Spring Senior Thesis Jury process.By the conclusion of this class, the students are confident in a newly acquired conceptual and manual skill-set that will be crucial in the preparation of the exhibition and interview-ready portfolios and websites.
