Super Extra Ultra Portfolio Work-through
Hi, there. You're not logged in. So, you must be a visitor. Welcome!
What is this? You are viewing one of our supplemental "Stories." In addition to our core design curriculum, we are constantly building out additional resources.

While you do get to see a lot of those options and choices through each others’ work, this video series is meant to serve as yet another layer to revisit. If you missed any key “Ah Ha!” moments, then this will deliver those. This should seal the deal on this section of the course.
If you are a PE student -
Do NOT decide to just start over with your website. Use these conversations – and take the concepts you like and incorporate what you need into your current times. It’s more important to be able to work within a living system than it is to start over.
