One of the most beneficial aspects of having an internship are the relationships that you form with your coworkers and your bosses. While interning at Iperdesign this summer, I’ve  really gotten to know the other interns while working on projects together. It helped to become friends with them while working because we were able to form better concepts when bouncing off ideas off of one another. Figuring out how to approach the bosses for questions and deciphering which one specialized in a certain field of the workplace helped to solve design solutions better than trying to figure them out yourself.…

  So according to the majority of my friends, most of their internships have them     running around, performing errands, and basically doing the things that no one else wants to do. Luckily for me, my internship at Weston Fitness has been quite the opposite. I work under Mike Smith, the main marketing director, and together, we tackle any and every marketing problem possible. So far, I’ve made several print, and online ads. I’m also in charge of all of Westons’ social media platforms, and have been given full creative control to post what I want, when I want. I…

My first day at Philly Style was not exactly what I expected. My supervisors were super serious and put me to work in the back room. Although I would have loved to get to know everyone on the first day, the pressure of getting my assignments done in a timely, organized fashion excited me. It was also cool that I started before a lot of the other interns because I feel like I learned how everything works in the office before them. Every time my supervisor wanted something mailed/filed I had to teach the new interns how to do it.…

Being a Marketing Design intern for the past month at FringeArts has taught me many valuable lessons in regards to posting on social media vehicles and creating content for our website. Perhaps the most important lesson is finding a balance between entertainment and information. Although entertainment is one of the main goals that FringeArts strives for, there is a certain degree of professionalism that is must be considered while posting content online. I am gradually learning the more effective methods of marrying these two concepts; the more I learn, the better the content performs. My mentors Greg and Dan are…

Hello! I am pleased that you’ve taken the time to read this particular post. If you’ve forgotten or if this is your first time reading one of my posts, then let me (re-)introduce myself. My name is Deanna L Gormisky. The L is silent. I am a copywriter who has been interning at Harris Tea Company in New Jersey. I would list their address and what-not, but they have already been featured in my other post. If you are not too busy, be sure to check that out, too. Since I have been interning here, I’ve noticed something: everybody drinks…

    Throughout the course of my internship at the Flyers, I have been lucky enough to meet many intelligent and successful adults, all of whom have inspired me and impacted me greatly in some way. Some of the people who have specifically impacted me are Bob Kelly, Tim Jones and also Rob Johnson. Bob Kelly is a former player of the Flyers. He is probably the nicest and most down to earth man I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Although Bob is no longer a player for the Flyers, he is still an active and positive member…

During my time at Skate Jawn magazine, I have done a ton of networking. The Skate Jawn headquarters also doubles as a mini skatepark. Often times people just show up and skate there. Many of the skaters are involved with other skateboarding-related projects, companies, etc. I was fortunate enough to meet a lot of people that I wouldn’t have normally met. Among those people include professional skateboarders and business owners. I met a lot of people who are featured in magazines, commercials, videos, and other skateboarding publications. It was truly inspiring to meet with a lot of these people and learn…

Hi, my name is Ashley and I am about to be a Temple grad this August! I was fortunate enough to discover a paid graphic design internship at Iperdesign in the beautiful Olde City. My initial reaction towards beginning this internship was that I would get a lot of exciting pieces to add to my portfolio, but I was wrong. When working for real clients in an advertising agency, there are a lot of trials, many meetings, and several executions that go into finalizing a campaign or a rebrand. I quickly realized as a design intern, my part is very exciting,…
