When it comes to responsibility, us interns have different tasks that set up a bigger picture. Being a graphic design student, I would love to work on graphical things. But in hindsight, it isn’t as black and white to just assign graphic things all the time. There are many times that require copywriting. Being a graphic design student, we get to learn more differences in our audience as we are learning how the market works in a different approach compared to other fields. Although we have our set skill sets as interns, we weren’t showcasing it completely as it was an interview, and we haven’t got to work with each other to learn our work styles and our personality as humans.
One of the interests I have is motion graphics, in the field of graphical design works. When the supervisor and the other workers in the weekly meetings, we have discussed what we want to move forward towards. It was in great interest for me to emphasize on what I would like to get done, as it helps me as an individual and have work that is impressive for ABS as well. I spoke about having interests in motion graphics, such as video editing. Later on in the internship, I was tasked with an older intern that has been there for a few months prior, and we connected over and started working on a video project where we interview artists and make a video with clips from all the interviews to showcase a collage collaboration.
With this in mind, I am excited about what kind of tasks will be assigned to me. The steps of having the conversation with the supervisor is helping me grow as a whole. I am getting out of my comfort zone to let them know what I would prefer to work on during my time with my internship.
