Bio

My name is Kelvin Medina. I’m a graphic designer who is driven and is an opportunity seeker for ways I can be a leader and use my love and skills in typography, illustration, and photography to create valuable and visually pleasing work.

I am interested in illustrative design, posters, and layouts. My interests center around illustration since my hobby and passion happens to be drawing. I haven’t as of yet chosen a concentration or have an idea of what I would like to do with design or my career. As a positive note, I do know I like to draw, reading books and articles, and being fit.

Currently, I run the Art and Design Club. The club activities include working on a magazine for the communication design dept., going on design firms tours and hosting the Meet the Pros guest speaker series, where we meet professionals in the field. Through the club, I have built an extensive network, collaborated with members and built up the creative community in the school.

My Courses

COMD Communication Design Internship Coordination Site

COMD Communication Design Internship Coordination Site

This site is designed to help you find fieldwork/study situations of approximately eight hours per week at an internship site approved by the Department Internship instructor such as an advertising agency, graphic design firm, corporate design office, publications art department, photography or illustration studio, TV or multimedia production company. Students will be required to keep a learning journal of their internship in the form of a blog using Openlab. A portion of the class will be devoted to presenting and sharing experiences with classmates. Students will learn how to assess their talents, update their resume, and promote themselves and their work through social networks. Students will be required to setup and maintain at least two social media networks such as: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. The instructors for this class are there as mentors if you have not yet found an internship before registering for the course. However, the instructors do not find an internship placement for you. It is your responsibility to find a position that fits your personal career path and help you transition to full time employment upon leaving the halls of CityTech. Ideally, you will use this site to find an internship the semester before taking the COMD 4900 class.
