Course Description:
This is the first of two courses which provide students with the time and focus to tighten and polish projects done in previous classes or other creative pursuits to create a digital portfolio. Students will continue to develop their creative and problem-solving skills through additional projects. Projects include creative graphic design pieces, to reinforce coursework from their first year at Iowa Central, as well as work on cover-letter, resume and reference documents.
