作品集要求：

"Whether your background is in design or not, you're required to submit a Web-based portfolio of work to be considered for graduate study at Carnegie Mellon's School of Design. Include a minimum of 7-10 samples of recent work that represent the strengths of your professional, creative, or academic experience. This portfolio might be filled with design projects, writing samples, or summaries of other original projects you have undertaken. You may use photography, video, writing, or interactive presentations to demonstrate your work.

For long works – such as theses, book designs, and software applications – please select excerpts that best represent your strengths. For each piece, include a brief description (one paragraph) on content and context, to help us get to know you better and understand your creative and problem solving approaches. If you include a collaborative work, make sure to identify your contributions.

We will evaluate your portfolio from multiple viewpoints, including visual or verbal communication skills, critical and analytical thinking, craftsmanship, ease of navigation, and creativity.

For candidates from non-design backgrounds applying to the MA program, we recognize that your portfolio will be different than a design portfolio. We are looking for supplemental information to your application that highlights your creative potential and interest in design. For example, your work might include written observations, blogs or critiques of existing work or things encountered in the world; artwork such as painting, ceramics, photography or video; musical or dramatic performances; academic or professional writing samples; and volunteer or professional contributions to projects.

Your portfolio must be Web-based, and you must provide a link to your portfolio in your application package. Be sure that your site functions correctly on multiple platforms. No PDFs or physical portfolios will be accepted.

交互设计 两个方向：Design for Services

In post-industrial economies, services have become more valuable than product manufacturing for retail. Three kinds of services afford new opportunities in designing for interactions:

1) Expert professional services, for example: in medical, financial, and creative sectors

2) Mass-customizable, data-driven automated services such as media filters and online shopping recommenders

3) In-person customized labor, for example: childcare, cleaning, and concierge services.

Designing for services pushes designers to look beyond how users interact with single devices, to the design of adaptive systems as platforms for various service providers with diverse business needs.

In our master's programs, the service context shapes core studio projects, and is explored in seminars, electives, and applied research as a rapidly emerging discourse in design.

Examples of projects with a Service focus:

· Self service health care systems to empower women

· Photography-based activity design for mothers in addiction recovery

· A multi-touch tabletop surface display for collaborative service design

· Service systems and new technologies for patients with chronic illnessesDesign for Social Innovation

Designing product-service systems not only affords new kinds of businesses, but also new ways in which communities can meet their needs. The same technologies that make services customizable allow communities to quickly and easily coordinate activities. As a result, many designers now find themselves working in the domain ofsocial design, developing systems that help meet unmet social needs. Work in this field involves social research and co-creation methods, actively engaging community participants in the design process.

In our master's programs, students are presented with the rewarding challenges of design for social innovation in core studio and research projects, often partnering with community organizations and government agencies.

Examples of projects with a Social Innovation focus:

· Communication roadmaps for environmental behavior change

· Augmenting grocery store services for building healthy living communities

· Smart home technologies for helping the elderly live independently at home

· Design tools to help physicians start conversations with families about obesity
