Bio

Prof. Goetz is currently the the COMD 4900 Internship Course Coordinator for the Communication Design Department. Prior to joining NYCCT’s faculty, Professor Goetz worked in publishing for over 16 years at various consumer publications. At Scientific American as Digital Imaging Manager and as Quality & Technology manager for U.S. News & World Report, she developed digital ad specifications and worked on improving color fidelity across CMYK and RGB workflows. Professor Goetz is a member of the Advertising Production Club (APC), the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), and the American Print History Association (APHA). Professor Goetz hopes to share with her students the endless fascination of managing color in multiple color spaces–CMYK, RGB, LAB, etc.– in a world where no two individuals see color the same way.

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.
