Self Evaluation

Over the semester, I’ve learned a lot about working at my non-profit internship. I delivered creative and impactful designs that aligned with my director’s expectations. My project deliveries included designing business assets such as folder covers, business envelopes, desktop wallpapers, etc. I was also assigned to work with their social media. Specifically with their Instagram. These social media posts revolved around topics they were trying to cover each week. My creative skills were put to the test. They were tested using Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and explored other tools such as Canva. Canva was easily accessible, through the company’s own Canva account. 

I’m proud of the work I’ve done but I do recognize areas where I can improve. My time management can be improved. I spend too much time when it comes to the brainstorming phase and then in the later stages when I’m trying to perfect every little detail. These habits can be managed better to meet tighter deadlines. I do aim to strengthen my skills in other areas of design such as motion graphics and video editing. That way I can expand the services I can provide to future employers/ clients. 

I do have several goals in mind for improvement. These goals consist of working on more projects that involve motion design and video editing to add more elements to my projects. Have a system for project management to have a steady workflow and ensure timely delivery. Improve my communication skills when it comes to working on projects with a client for a clear design output. 

Moving forward, I aim to balance creativity with efficiency while continuing to embrace innovation in the design field.
