In Design Portfolio 1 you will reflect on your own position in relation to the current state of knowledge, skills, practices and thinking within contemporary design practice. In this context, you will then identify your own professional goals and objectives, and set out a strategy for achieving these goals through personal growth, development, and the creation and development of your design portfolio throughout your final year of study and beyond. Under guidance of module tutors, you will undertake one or more professional level design briefs (national or international design competition briefs or live briefs set by external partners) which will contribute towards the design portfolio which you will use to promote yourself to the world upon graduation. This module is followed by Design Portfolio 2, in which you will continue further developing and enhancing your portfolio throughout in your final trimester of study.

LO1: Critically identify, define, conceptualise and analyse complex problems within design briefs.
