Full Time Marketing & Design Intern | August 2023 – December 2023

As part of the art team at Tigertown Graphics, I had the opportunity to work on several different types of projects. My main task at work everyday was designing graphics from scratch to be used on social media or in emails. These graphics use a variety of web images, lifestyle images, flat lay images, or illustrations to promote certain product lines to bring in sales both online and in store. Several graphics that I designed had coordinating post, story, and web sliders.

Another big part of this internship was working with the sales representatives to create custom designs for client requests. Throughout the semester I fulfilled design orders for tshirts, tank tops, sweatshirts, and smaller items such as cups, bags, pins, etc. Once the design is approved for print, I would set up finished separations for the design and send it down to the print shop.

Throughout the semester I would organize photoshoots with a few models in order to capture updated lifestyle images in TTG apparel as well as add new faces into the photos. I took and edited photos for Tigertown Graphics as well as Southern Fried Cotton. I also made use of the photo room in the offices in order to capture flat lay phots of different themes, as well as web images for the website. These photos would either be incorporated into a graphic, or used as posts on their own.
