I’d create a three-part series documenting how a single class assignment evolves into an internship- and full-time-ready portfolio piece, informed directly by what I learned going through both recruiting processes. The goal is to show how student work changes when it’s held to real industry standards, not just graded on completion.

Phase 1 – Before: I start with the original assignment—early drafts, rushed edits, and design choices that earned a grade but wouldn’t stand out to recruiters. I connect this to my early recruiting experience, when I realized that “good for class” isn’t enough for internship or full-time roles.

Phase 2 – Process: I document the iteration process using Adobe Creative Cloud—applying feedback the way I had to during internships, refining details recruiters actually care about, and building habits I developed while preparing portfolio reviews, interviews, and case presentations.

Phase 3 – After: I reveal the final, portfolio-ready version and explain how it now demonstrates the skills employers evaluate during internship and full-time recruiting: clarity, execution, storytelling, and professionalism.

This series shows students what it really takes to move from student work to career-ready work, and how Creative Cloud plays a central role in preparing for real creative careers—while still keeping the content authentic, relatable, and process-driven.
