Week# 1

Hello my name is George Merkerson, im a graphic design major, for my Internship I’m currently working as an freelance intern at Gleason’s Gym, on Water St, Dumbo, Downtown Brooklyn. Its a great gym where many amateurs fighters go to turn into legend like for one Muhammed Ali. who once trained at the same gym himself. During my internship i will be taking photos, working on the logo design for a client (Raul Frank), working on his social media platform, his website, and advertisement as well. I can’t wait to start.

Week # 2

This Week we were going over needed things that were going to affect our project for the internship, But afterwards we only decided to focus on creating content like photography, and video filming.

Week#3

hello right now I’m working at Gleason gym with Raul Frank and we are working on networking for his social media campaign for his personal training profile on youtube, Instagram and Linkedin. Still working on the website and helping him with sponsoring as well. From “5 tips of networking” you must always have your business on hand in case of clients because you may never know where someone is in need of work that needs to be done for his/her business and shows potential employers. Setting up for creative groups and keeping groups in college is great as well to ask for advice to see how they got the job. and shows ways to get potential work. To be honest I’ve never attended a networking group or event ever before but always wanted to.
