Despite the bone chilling weather we’ve had in Bowling Green this week, the atmosphere at Imagewest has been nothing but warm and positive. Many of us are nearing the final stages with our projects, while new and exciting projects are being assigned simultaneously. Currently, I am designing a banner for one of the departments here on WKU’s campus.

Over fall break we all had the opportunity of shadowing at a company of our choosing. Most people picked agencies located in or near their hometowns, so naturally I chose to shadow a company in my hometown, which just so happens to be around Houston, Texas. I picked an advertising/marketing agency called STANANDLOU. Shadowing at STANANDLOU was unlike any job related experience I have had. The people were all so incredibly nice and informative. Scott Brinkmeyer, the Associate Art Director, gave me some great tips on my portfolio as well as tips on how to have a successful job search. I feel so lucky to have had such an eye opening experience — not many people get the chance to do a job shadow, especially for such a wonderful agency as STANANDLOU. I highly recommend a job shadow to anyone who is presented with the opportunity!

We are all efficiently working to wrap up the week. However, Fridays wouldn’t be complete without the eccentric mix of music coming from Pandora. Tune in next week for another exciting update of intern life!
