My role in ArtWing NY is a graphic designer, so far, I been assigned to do promotional pieces on five photographers for the company. Each of the photographer have article or photos they took for magazines, other companies or products. I have to pick some of their photos and make it into a collage. It was actually difficult since they all have styles and varies. My supervisor name is Scott Buchheit he is the art director.
When selecting this internship, I found all of it new because I had no work experiences at all. I never had to make phone calls for a job, no knowledge on what I had to bring and prepare for and what clothing would be suitable to an interview. Professor Nicolaou helped me prepared for what I should say on the phone when looking for an internship, she gave me certain internships which were still looking for interns and when all of them failed. She told me to reach out to Scott by phone call and email. The next day Scott emailed me telling me if we could meet next week since he had to do photoshoots that weekend. We set up a day and time for next week, the day we were supposed to meet he had an emergency at the studio and we postponed it to the next day.
We decided to meet at Ace Hotel Lobby at 1:30 because Scott had a meeting their at 2pm. The interview process felt comfortable, Scott asked me if I had any work to show him. I had a display folder with some work and my resume to show what programs I knew how to use. He explained to me we will work in different locations and what I would be doing in the internship. I was hired on the spot.
