LINK 2017
LINK Reflection
Before I went to LINK I had some basic knowledge about adobe photoshop which gave me a basic understanding of how to use the program and how to use adobe Illustrator. I also had a basic understanding with a lot of the digital printing programs which helped me throughout the internship. For me I learned how to use adobe illustrator and photoshop and I am now a lot better at it than before. I also learned the importance of saving different files depending on what type of file you're looking for. Most importantly I learned how to modify my art work to please the client, which is actually really hard to do when you get too attached to the work.
I feel like it is really hard for mentors to open up to the idea of having a high schooler as an intern, although I really do believe that it is important to give them a chance to have the experience. I understand how some people would think that high schoolers aren't organized or experienced enough to be any help in the professional work environment. If we allow high schoolers to experience something like an internship it helps them mature and realize what they want to do as a career. I highly recommend business and companies to open up to having high school interns because it will benefit them and the interns as well. .
Doing this internship helped me understand what I was interested in as a career and what I want to do for the rest of my life. I realized that internships help me discover the qualities that I like about a job, and the issues I have with it as well. I want to take more opportunities to experience more internships that are of my interest in the future to help me better determine what I would want to do as a career.
