Chicago Portfolio School
Our students want to find jobs in advertising and design. So, you could say we are an ad and design school. But we're really an "idea school." Ideas start with concepts, of course, but finish with executions inside pizza boxes, subway platforms, storefronts, online, offline and virtually any place that can jumpstart a brand. Call Maria at (312) 321-9250 with questions about the program.
