GRA805 — Graphic Design Occupational Experience
3 Credit(s) During this course students will complete 160 hours in a graphic design-related position learning the procedures and processes utilized by a cooperating business. The internship experience will better prepare the graphic design student for future employment as a graphic designer, be a résumé and portfolio builder, and will increase a student’s awareness of the expectations and responsibilities associated with being a professional graphic designer. Journaling gives the interning student a safe space to discuss events and situations that happen on-the-job, an opportunity to communicate with peers who are also completing a design internship, and to share and discuss examples of the design work they are creating for the sponsoring business.
