Over the summer of 2016, I interned at the Chicago-based non-profit, Bright Pink. I worked with their marketing team to support social media, email marketing, print advertising, marketing collateral, website development projects, etc. I learned how to design in a professional, fast-paced environment among a team of creatives. The internship went so successfully that I was asked to stay on the team as a freelance graphic designer, working remotely during the school year.
Chicago’s O'Hare & Midway Airports
I designed and formatted large scale posters that will be displayed at O'Hare International Airport and Chicago Midway International Airport. This involved finding imagery and a style that was bold and eye-catching, while still staying in brand with Bright Pink. Another challenge was understanding the scale of advertisements and making sure they interacted with their environment in a smart and creative way. The intention of these was for them to feel interactive with viewers.
Motion Graphics
I designed and animated multiple motion graphics, from given copy. The videos were then used for social media, email marketing, and company presentations.
Annual Report
I created a 10 page paperback annual report for Bright Pink’s 2015 year. I chose a simple, but asymmetrical look to create a visually exciting representation of their success and statistics.
Digital Assets
Throughout the summer, I delivered digital advertisements for all social media platforms; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and email headers. The content varied from specific events, speakers, to general brand identity.
Print Assets
I designed and constructed many print assets for varying events and reports. This included trifolds, one-pagers, and posters.
