		<title>When to have your portfolio ready</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been teaching portfolio design for over 15 years and I aways underestimate the propensity for procrastination among students.

		<title>More than just a portfolio class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our senior spring semester graphic design studio class, officially titled &#8220;Portfolio Design&#8221; encompasses more than repackaging of existing projects.
