Design Practice 172. Any Event Management students remember that unit? I know people that even took it as an 'elective' because it was considered a 'fun' unit.
At the time I also considered it relatively fun for a compulsory unit, however I didn't really think about how I would be using it in the future!
Little did I know, the skills I learnt would become invaluable in my PR internship! My PR supervisor was formerly a product designer and therefore has amazing graphic design abilities!
She has been great with allowing me to develop my skills in this area. She will allow me to work on design projects, and after allowing me to play around and figure out things on my own, she will help me by showing me quicker and easier ways to do things.
It has deepened my understanding of the different tasks a PR Officer may have to undertake, especially in such a small department (in my case only one person!). In a school there is so much more going on than I expected, and almost everything needs something designed in some form or another. Doing this in-house instead of outsourcing this service produces much faster turnaround times, yet is still high quality because of the programs and skills available in-house.
What skills have you had to use in your internship that you thought you wouldn't have to?
