So I am currently a mentee/ assistant at Calling All Graphics. To get this opportunity I just sent out an email that was available on my COMD4900 coordination site to Marla Gotay who runs the business and surprisingly I got back a reply on the same day. I didn’t really have to do an interview since Marla liked my portfolio also I was relieved about that part. I believe that what really stood out was my after-effects skills since that was what she was looking for. After a reply back Marla set up a meet-up via zoom to introduce myself and also asked for the days I was available to work. There was also another intern on Zoom with me and Marla.
I then started working the week right after. My first task ever was to fix and add the prices to a menu for a bagel shop in Indesign. This wasn’t difficult however I was a little rusty in Indesign since I have not used the program for quite some time.
