Graphic design at SA VA

Art Direction has always been my passion given that it presents a variety of fields one may choose to specialize in, be it film/video editing,graphic design etc.I have always had a passion for Art direction because I don’t get bored with work that involves using my creativity and imagination.With Art Direction,there is always something fun to do.Interning at SA VA fashion was an exciting and fun experience for me.I began my internship on the 19th of January and worked until the first week in April.At SA VA I interned as a graphic designer. I  have come a long way and learned a lot since then. Going into this internship I had a lot of expectations.I was also skeptical about fitting in because it was going to be the first time I had worked with a corporate firm and also for the fact that it wasn’t the typical graphic design company.However, when I started my internship everything seemed to work seamlessly. Some of my main job duties were designing marketing items such as posters,flyers and working on the web store photos. I had the opportunity to take photo-shoots of SA VA models and dressed mannequins which were placed on their web store.The photo-shoots were useful as it sharpened my experience with using professional cameras.  I had the liberty to incorporate my ideas to the work I did which was very important to me because I never felt limited.Most importantly, I was able to apply some of the things I had learned in class at my internship which I found fulfilling.
