Learn to develop projects with a story and personality and make your design portfolio stand out in the market.
¨Every creative needs a portfolio that translates the truth of their work and encourages connections.¨, says creative director and designer Gustavo Garcia. As the founder of the Papanapa studio, Gustavo has already analyzed thousands of portfolios and guarantees: most follow the same formula and explore the same themes. For him, developing and including personal projects in this document is a great way to differentiate and stand out among the competition. These pieces carry emotional triggers, represent the designer's universe and indicate the path he wants to follow.
In this online course, Gustavo will teach you how to carry out a personal design project to get out of the commonplace and boost your portfolio. You'll learn to collect information, generate ideas, and explore ways to make them vibrant and versatile. Develop impactful work and expose your talents to the world!

Si buscas armar tu portfolio, antes de sumergirte en referencias y herramientas (que también las hay), es importante retroceder en los temas de base y responder las preguntas de este curso para que tu resultado sea único. Excelente regreso a la base.
