Before I can start applying to internships, I need to polish my resume and portfolio website. For my resume, I had worked with my lecturer in order to discuss what elements to place in my resume. I had done research projects for a math and science program hosted by Penn State University. I participated in the program for three summers in a row and one of the research projects was published so it would be good to mention that as part of my experience especially since I am looking for a more research based role in the creative field. I had participated in some clubs during my junior to senior year one of which I worked on a project of a student film and it would be beneficial to add that to my experience.
On my portfolio I am going to present myself as a designer and researcher so my work is going to consist of both research and creative work. My lecturer made a good point to include the student film I had helped with while I was in the Moving Pixels Club. I am going to keep the colors more neutral and let my work speak for itself. Throughout the semester, I plan to add more updated work from previous classes.
