Melissa’s Profile
none
Hello my name is Melissa, a little about myself is Im a transfer student coming from Brooklyn College to currently a City Tech student. It’s my first semester here and not timid at all.
I’m majoring in Communication Design and hope to find my passion somewhere is design. Since I was kid I loved artistic things such as art, dancing, and music. Ironically it took me a minute to find out what I wanted major in. Still a little lost but my instincts tell me I’m on the right path.
I like to distract myself in work, therefore I’m type of a perfectionist and an over-thinker when it comes to my work. Most of the time when under pressure I tend to work best, stressed, but I get the job done. These were a few things about me hopefully it wasn’t too boring and someone can relate to me in some way!
My Courses
COMD3504 D001 Communication Design Theory Goetz FA24
An in-depth introduction to communication design theory, this course examines theoretical perspectives of design practice within the larger discourse of design and visual culture. Communication models, the nature of representation, the dimensions of context, and semiotics are explored through critical readings in key documents from the early decades of the twentieth century to the present.
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.
Working independently, students engage in research, conceptualization, and the development of a comprehensive project spanning multiple media platforms. This project employs design thinking to tackle a modern-day concern.
