Student Portfolio Review an A+
On April 16, 2008 the Ninth Annual 2008 RAF Student Portfolio Review brought out the future stars in the fields of graphic design, advertising, new media, and copywriting. This one-night-only program was open to all senior-year college students with portfolios. The event was a big success, with over 50 students in attendance. But as Bob Kiesow, RAF Education Committee member, explains, “the event would be nonexistent if it weren’t for the 20 volunteer creative directors from the Rochester area who gave up their evening to review portfolios and offer the students feedback and career advice.”
A special RAF thank you to the event hosts: Post Central and The Studios.
