I was tasked with cutting out people for thumbnails, creating a children’s alphabet book, and a multitude of other digital tasks involving Adobe Creative Suite.
The challenging parts about the job were creating unique designs for the covers and formatting the inside of books and pamphlets. The company wanted to challenge me and gave me criticism, which I did not get often from school, so it was rewarding when the head designers liked something I had made. They were always willing to help me out.
This experience gave me confidence. This internship helped me out in understanding how graphic designers play a role in certain companies. I am looking forward to a graphic design career, but I am also open to any other design-like career as well.
