What is this module about?

What are the requirements for this module?

Whom is it recommended for?

This is a niche module for graphic designers, especially those who do not want to learn serious 3D skills, but still want to be able to create their own mock-ups and previsualisations (usually warmly welcomed from the client side). On top of that, the module has very useful and practical methods of portfolio production, and the theoretical background on what and how to showcase, especially when hunting for a job, or new clients.
