Portfolio review
Aaron Draplin
1993 graduate, founder of Draplin Design Co. and co-founder of Field Notes
“I picked the Visual Communications program as it offered a pragmatic way to learn a trade and still get dirty with some fun art classes. And I did just that: I learned how to take a photo, draw naked bodies, paint, build a portfolio, sculpt, draw in rigid perspective, write a paper, get lost in Roman architecture, and, design a logo in this new stuff called “design software.” And this was in just under two years!”
