Current Work Schedule and Process Update

I am working at incline galley as a graphic design internship, at this point; I have helped with some installation and help with a little maintenance. However, I will be making the main December event poster for the gallery, which will be my final project. The schedule for my work is Wednesday from 3-6pm, Thursday from 6-9pm, and Saturday from 12-3pm, total 9 hours a week.

On 9/27/13, I had the interview with Christo Oropeza, who is currently running the Incline gallery, we have talked about the strength I have and what will my tasks be during this internship.

On 10/3/13, I started the first day of my internship. However, the gallery is not open yet and is still getting for the new show “space 1999” which will be open on 10/11/13. I took a tour of the gallery and just helped out with some maintenance work.

On 10/5/13, the gallery was closed for construction.    

On 10/9/13, I was helping Christo paint the light boxes that they newly installed on the celling.

On 10/10/13, I helped closed gallery and just check the facilities of the gallery if they need to be refilled or cleaned.

On 10/12/13, I started the first day of being the gallery monitor and greet people that came visit the gallery. At this point, I have not really started my project for this internship yet, but I was assigned to create a poster for the main event of the gallery in end of December.

On 10/16/13, I monitored the gallery. 

Started the Internship (End of September)

On 9/22/13, I got an email from Mediate Art Group for interview, and I went for an interview on 9/24/13. However, they were looking for a more sound editing and show planning person than a graphic person. I was rejected and didn’t get the internship.

On 9/27/13, I went to Incline Gallery for an interview for the graphic designer position and I got it as the graphic designer position.

Seeking for Internships(August-Mid September)

I started off with emailing the ads on craigslist that were hiring internship for graphic design, product design, and some of the 2-D industrial design company, but none of them have replied me. I did get a email response that wanted me to go in for an interview but then stop contacting me again, which is the mission community market for graphic design. I then look on intermatch where it’s more well organized website for students and people who are looking for internships and jobs. I emailed many of the companies and still didn’t hear from any of them. The same result as indeed.com. I decided to call most of the companies that I have applied and barely anyone answer their contact number.

ENTRY QUESTION(Pre-Statement)

The primary goal I want to achieve during my internship period is practice my graphic design skill, and create some professional samples that will be used not only for school project but also something that is professional leveled product. Hopefully, to get better with Photoshop and illustrator; possibly gain more knowledge in other design software such as Indesign.
