CreeK & River Co., Ltd. (C&R) will launch an online course titled 'Portfolio Introduction: Understanding Presentation from a Hiring Perspective' (4 sessions) starting August 17 (Monday), enabling even beginners to learn portfolio creation.

A 'portfolio' is a document that compiles a creator’s past works, achievements, and skills—such as those of designers, illustrators, or CG artists. It is the most important tool for conveying your skills and strengths when seeking employment or changing jobs. However, many people struggle with questions like 'What should I include?' or 'How should I structure it?'. This course will systematically cover everything from the fundamentals of portfolios to practical composition and improvement methods across four sessions. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine an existing portfolio, this course offers valuable insights. We welcome anyone interested to join.

<Course Content>

Session 1: What is a Portfolio?

Clarify the role and purpose of a portfolio and understand what you should communicate.

Session 2: Fundamentals of Portfolio Creation

Learn key points for getting started, including how to select works and structure your portfolio.

Session 3: Creating a Better Portfolio

Session 4: Portfolio Structure Examples
