2020 AIGA Student Portfolio Review

FROM AIGA SLC:

AIGA Salt Lake City’s annual Student Portfolio Review has gone digital!

This was an opportunity for students to gain valuable advice, insight, and industry information from some of the crème de la crème of our local professional designers and agencies.

The review was moved to a digital review this year and was a two day event!

The digital keynote presentation was held on June 5th by the brilliant: Ellen Lupton. The review itself happened the following day on June 6th through a series on video calls with reviewers.
