The Internship

It is a great privilege to be able to learn graphic design skills at a printing and labeling company. I’ve always liked to work with Adobe Photoshop and this activity allowed me to pick up some very useful skills.

It didn’t take me long to settle down when I got to the office. The Graphic Design Department was rather small so I got to know everybody in a minute. I started the first day off with a tour of the whole company. To see the structure of a corporate company is simply mind-blowing, and it made me think about the amount of money put into setting up such a business. I then proceeded to learn more about graphic design when I got back to the office. Unlike the other departments, the Graphic Design Department was filled with state-of-the-art computers and machinery. I got to work with giant sized Macs and after a short course on basics, I immediately took on a simple label Photoshop project.

In the next few days I completed several other small projects and a major one. I got the chance to get out of the office and do some hands-on work at the factory. The experience was greatly rewarding as I single handedly went through the whole process of designing a label, printing it out, and making the printing template. I look forward to getting a chance to further develop my skills and apply them in another project.
