Now approaching the final weeks of this internship, my supervisor wanted to know my future plans. I didn’t have too much going on, so he decided to keep me on part time as a graphic designer. It’s really great to be apart of a growing company where your role is important. KISI currently does not have an in-house designer, and that it is a blessing to be a designer apart of their awesome team. Although I still have a year left before graduation, I can honestly say I’ve learned a lot while interning at KISI. It feels amazing to see my hard work pay off.

After talking to Bernhard about my transition, and progress from when we first met,  he had no idea I was capable of producing the kind of graphics needed because my portfolio displayed more fine-art related graphics. For the first time, I believe I’m beginning to see the difference between Fine-Art and Communication Design. While having studied both being a Fashion Merchandising major before transferring to City Tech, the principals are the same, but the execution and outcome are very different. To me, Fine-Art is dependent upon ones interpretation, while Communication Design is more conceptual, and outcome based.

Furthermore, I’m glad he took a chance on me and in turn I surpassed  his and my expectations. I always want to create innovative things in both Communication Design, and Fine-Art. If its not innovative, its either been done already, or its just boring. The term innovate to me means to excite; excite someone or something.
