Graphic Designer Intern

Jun 2026 - Aug 2026

  • Under supervision, prepared packaging artwork with checked dielines, color profiles and print specifications; reviewed a physical proof for legibility and corrected production issues before releasing final files.
  • The team translated a campaign brief into a visual concept system spanning packaging, retail, social, and ecommerce assets; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team kept the campaign recognizable across channels without duplicating one layout everywhere; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
  • The team built packaging files with dielines, hierarchy, claims, legal copy, color specifications, and print tolerances; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team resolved production risks before artwork release to the supplier; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
  • Under supervision, developed the visual strategy for a packaging and ecommerce brief, defining the brand identity elements that must remain consistent; compared a shelf mockup and a product-page crop before selecting the artwork direction.
  • Under supervision, prepared Adobe Illustrator vector artwork and Photoshop image layers for the print supplier, checked linked-image resolution and overprint settings, and reconciled the final proof with the approved copy before release.
  • Under supervision, owned a packaging visual-strategy check using Adobe mockups and print proofs, resolved brand-identity inconsistencies and completed production-ready artwork for approval.
  • Under supervision, built Photoshop proofing templates using actual shelf-view distances, reduced artwork correction rounds from 4 to 2 and published the agreed color and export specifications.

Selected project

Graphic Designer — independent case study

Intern project team member

Sep 2025 - May 2026

  • In a mentor-reviewed simulation, translated a campaign brief into a visual concept system spanning packaging, retail, social, and ecommerce assets; kept the campaign recognizable across channels without duplicating one layout everywhere.
  • As a second supervised exercise, built packaging files with dielines, hierarchy, claims, legal copy, color specifications, and print tolerances; resolved production risks before artwork release to the supplier.
  • Under supervision, the team tested visual routes with audience feedback and recorded which message, image, and hierarchy choices drove comprehension; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review
  • Created a self-directed design brief with a defined audience, content hierarchy and accessibility constraints; compared distinct visual directions using the same content rather than changing the message with each mockup.
  • Checked the chosen design at its intended display or print size, annotated readability and contrast problems, and delivered editable source files with typography, color and export specifications.
  • Owned the independent design review using actual-size proofs, resolved contrast and reading-order defects and completed an annotated before-and-after specification.
