We’ve just kicked off our first project, and it’s an important one. Our task is to revamp a four-page infographic, and the section I’m tackling, with the assistance of my coworker, focuses on updating the map data. To begin, we crafted an Excel spreadsheet, carefully inputting the numbers representing student applications to Brooklyn College from various areas within the boroughs.

It was quite the undertaking, as accuracy was important. We wanted to ensure our data was precise and reflective of the real numbers. Despite the time it took, there was something oddly serene about the process. We were really focused on the task, almost finding a sense of calm among the detailed work.

Today, I had the opportunity to attend an insightful webinar titled “Navigating AI Creativity & Ethics in Digital Advertising.” The webinar featured speakers Kyle Spraker and Ritu Trivedi, with Angelina Eng serving as the interviewer. It was a fascinating discussion centered around the utilization of AI to enhance creativity and ethics in digital advertising, allowing companies to allocate more time towards creating impactful advertisements for consumers.

One question that particularly caught my attention was whether AI would replace artists. Kyle Spraker, one of the speakers, addressed this by emphasizing that AI won’t replace artists but rather alleviate their workload. He highlighted that while AI can assist in generating content, it lacks the human connection necessary to truly resonate with audiences. This insight underscored the irreplaceable role of human creativity and emotion in advertising, reassuring that AI is a tool to augment rather than supplant artistic talent.

I landed the internship and just had my very first meeting on the 29th. It was exciting diving into what’s ahead. We discussed upcoming projects and what my internship partner and I will be tackling. Currently, we’re diving into the nitty-gritty details, like color schemes, the school logo, and how we’ll present information. Since it’s for the Department of Effectiveness, it’s crucial that the information is easily understandable and accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities.

My internship partner brought some fresh ideas to the table, including a list of TikTok video concepts to engage younger audiences and encourage them to apply to the college. One of my contributions was suggesting the use of the Wes Anderson aesthetic for its simplicity and vibrant colors. I also brainstormed incorporating current TikTok trends to make our content more engaging and fun. It’s exciting to see how our ideas will come together to create impactful projects for the school.

Getting an interview with Brooklyn College was pretty big for me, and I gotta say, it went pretty well. Waking up early in the morning, I knew I had to mentally prep myself because, let’s face it, I tend to get super nervous during interviews. But hey, this was my shot at landing my first-ever internship in my field, so I was determined to nail it.

Luckily, I had my aunt to lean on for some guidance. She helped me come up with good answers to potential interview questions, which was a huge relief. With her support, I felt more ready to tackle whatever came my way.

Sitting there in the interview, I tried to stay cool, even though I could feel those butterflies doing their thing in my stomach. But thanks to the prep work with my aunt, I managed to keep it together and answer the questions they threw at me.

Looking back, I’m thankful for the help I got. It not only made me feel more confident during the interview but also taught me a lot about handling these kinds of situations. Whether I get the internship or not, I’m walking away from this feeling proud of myself and ready to take on whatever’s next.

Lately, I’ve been diving back into research mode and seeking guidance from my advisor. We hashed out some plans for my next steps, including possibly going to grad school and snagging internships. It’s been a real eye-opener learning how to sift through information and make it work for me, you know?

On top of that, I’ve been really focusing on improving my 3D skills to get ready for grad school. Then, just the other day, I swung by the Professional Development Center hoping to land an internship. But instead, the advisor there helped me spruce up my resume big time. It’s looking way better now, thanks to some tweaks we made together.

But there’s still work to be done. I have to fine-tune the design and make sure it really highlights what I bring to the table. It’s a process, but I’m determined to get it just right so I can snag that dream internship.

I’ve been on the hunt for an internship in my field of study, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the challenge. Getting into 3D art as a designer is no walk in the park compared to 2D design. I’ve scoured through platforms like LinkedIn and Handshake, but nothing has really caught my eye yet. Nonetheless, I’m determined to keep pushing forward.

I’ve even started reaching out to networks within my field, hoping to uncover some promising leads. It’s all about staying persistent and proactive. So, I’ll keep on hunting until I find the right opportunity that aligns with my goals and aspirations.
