At the beginning of my summer I decided that i really needed help with my graphic design skills. I mostly needed help with the design process and effectively finishing a project so that, once finished, it reaches its maximum potential. I found my old art teacher from 4th grade on facebook and noticed she now is a graphic designer!! Excited I asked her during last school year if I could job shadow her for the summer of 2010, and she said of course! I always remembered how nice and loving she was, and when i worked with her this summer she hadn't changed. Being a freelance graphic designer, she operates her own business and said one day I could probably join her!!
Along with the job shadowing i did, i also landed an internship with the in-house graphic designer for Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland!!
I heard about this through a good friend of mine. I was talking to her about how unsatisfied I was with my Graphic Design skills, and she referred me to a lady she knows who mentors young women graphic designers. I called the lady up during school in the spring and she said she would be willing to help me increase my skills this summer!
With yesterday being the last day of my summer internship I believed I had gained the knowledge and a new set of skills to begin my junior year at University next semester. Although I'm still nervous, I believe with what I have learned and experienced this summer I can thoroughly accomplish any project my professors give me
