MENTOR SESSION 1 (30-60 minutes) - check your Designlab calendar for the date
Note: in your first mentor session, be ready to talk about a few things: your background in design, your overall goals in design, and
your Designlab course goals. Do you want to gain more proficiency with visual design? Do you have any projects you're currently
working on that you want to improve? Are you looking to create specific portfolio pieces in the next 6 weeks? You'll get the most out of
the course by sharing this information with your mentor, so you can both work towards your goals and adapt the course projects
accordingly.
