After having this wonderful and educational experience interning at Women’s Press Collective, Ive realized that I want to continue to volunteer at WPC’s onsite location and even assist with their events when I can. Being able to learn so much about offset printing presses and different forms of print media I feel was very essential to my career as a graphic designer. I now understand the different methods of reaching your audience and the fact that print media is apart of that reach.
I was able to meet people that have been in the print industry for decades and in the design industry for decades. Meeting people that are well established in the graphic/print world made me realize that graphic design is a a passion of mine that I should continue to follow.
I learned so many things pertaining to print and design from my fellow volunteers at WPC. When it came to designing I learned many Adobe program shortcuts and different design styles that can grab the readers attention. I also learned the importance of networking and team work. Teamwork is essential in design. Many projects are created by a team not just one person. And everyones part plays a huge role in the finished product. Working as a team can get the job done!
Here is a presentation I made discussing my time at WPC
