While interning this summer, I realized how important culture really is. After hearing stories about other people’s internships and the culture that went along with said internships, I was not sure what to expect at Surfdog Records. After being given the dress code and a run-down of the operations at the Label, the culture slowly…
While interning at Surfdog Records, I was responsible for all all graphic design work. To accomplish my assigned tasks, I used the Adobe Creative suite. I was able to learn much more about graphic design and I was able to sharpen my existing skills with said programs. I see my Graphic design skills as invaluable…
