Graphic Designers: Masters of Branding and Communication
Hello World!
My name is Iva-Mae B.
Since I was born, I have been surrounded by art. My dad is an illustrator, so I have been drawing my whole life. When I was little, it was the occasional doodle, but as I’ve gotten older, and more serious about art, I’ve delved into other areas of the field, including a new passion: graphic design. Graphic design is essentially the artistic combination of images and text to create a product and accomplish a purpose. It’s what you see when you’re looking at ads, flyers, brochures, etc. Throughout the next ten weeks, I hope to increase my knowledge and experience in graphic design in order to better prepare myself for college and a possible career as a graphic designer.
I will be spending the next ten weeks interning with Tim Devey and Sadie Sarti Design, along with doing some of my own independent research. Tim Devey owns a marketing company called Wheat & Main Consulting where he works with many clients, mainly in the food industry. I will be jumping right in and working on real design projects for his company this week. Starting next week at Sadie Sarti Design, I will do a lot of shadowing and learning how a small design business is run and may even eventually take on some small projects for them.
By the end of my project, I will have the opportunity to bring my newfound graphic design skills to life through stickers and other media during my final presentation. With whatever extra time I have available, I hope to take the skills I learn at these two internships to work on personal projects that I will share as well. Ultimately, this project will allow me to gain a unique, incomparable education and experience that I will take with me as I venture into the professional world.
