They begin by building on the skills developed in their first semester studies.

Students are challenged by assignments based on jobs similar to those given in the professional arena, such as advertising, book and editorial illustration. Knowledge of the Chicago market is stressed. The topics of job opportunities, business skills, self promotion and presentation of a portfolio are integrated into the course. By the end of the semester, students concentrate on designing and printing a self-promotional mailer and work on finetuning illustrations for their portfolio. One of the most important goals in the class is to build a consistent portfolio that expresses each student's interests and technical expertise.
