TASARIM MESLEKLERİNDE HAZIRLANAN PORTFOLYOLARA AİT ÖZELLİKLERİN BELİRLENEREK DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Design portfolios used by designer candidates and professionals especially for professional inquiries, are documents prepared for various institutions, employers and studios. In educational life, students visualize their educative background, skills and expertise through portfolio documents (Goldsby & Fazal, 2001: 607-616; DiMarco, 2005). The main hypothesis of the qualitative research can be explained as, 'Portfolio documents may allow the explanation of individual vision and skill sets due to education centered differences of designers'. The results of the portfolio design course carried out by the author in different institutions and Industrial Design, Interior Architecture and Ship and Yacht Design departments are presented and are evaluated in order to determine the differences and similarities according to the established literature criteria. The study establishes relevant relations between the design sector and the academic field, aiming to provide guidelines and hints to designer candidates and professionals by explaining the principles of portfolio design.
