In the midst of my Green Lifestyle internship, I found another opportunity through a magazine my friend works for near LA in the San Fernando Valley called Famous Monsters of Filmland. I contacted them with my resume and a link to my website with work samples, looking for freelance work they may need a designer to work on. During the end of the month of July I had an interview with their creative director and was given “homework” to finish to display my abilities and skills as a designer with programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
It would have been a great opportunity where I would be working three times a week at the magazine doing photo correction, file formatting and layout for the editions they release. Unfortunately, I discovered it too late and there wasn’t enough time for them to train me with their company before I would be leaving to return to school in Wisconsin. They loved the work I did but the timing wasn’t ideal. Hopefully I can keep them as a contact and resource if I return to California after graduation.
