what kind of portfolio projects?
Hi! I've already picked up basic skills in Python, HTML/CSS, and Figma. Looking ahead to college, I'm torn between majoring in Computer Science or Interactive Media/UI-UX Design because I want a career that combines coding with creative visual design. Could you recommend specific college majors or interdisciplinary career paths (like slope) that bridge these two areas? Also, what kind of portfolio projects should I focus on building this year to prepare?
What skills are required for this job graphic design?
Technical software mastery
Would getting a minor in CogSci as a rising senior computer science major be a good idea if I want to pivot into UI/UX design ?
It would be 5 extra classes on top of my major. I don't have any experience in CS except a research apprenticeship, but I ultimately found that I'm not super into CS as much as I thought I was. The issue is I wonder if it would be more productive to graduate with a straight CS degree and spend my free time portfolio building or tack on the extra classes (where some of them don't heavily correlate to UI/UX). I have a 4 hour commute total so my time is pretty thinly spread out. I'm not sure how much weight having a minor in CogSci would hold in terms of future opportunities. Thank you.
