Towards the beginning of the summer I wrote a little about my internship here at Worthwhile, so I decided to do a little follow up since I’m now closer to the end than to the beginning. It has continued to be a great experience for me and I’ve learned a lot. Coming into this internship, I was never sure what facet of graphic design I was most interested in pursuing, whether print or web design.

This past 4th of July I went down to Atlanta to spend the weekend with some of my brothers and sisters.

So I’ve been here at Worthwhile for almost three weeks for my design internship. So far, so good-I can’t complain. I wasn’t completely sure what to expect at first, simply because I’ve never worked in an environment like this before but I can happily say that whatever expectations I may have had coming in, I haven’t been let down…so far. No, but seriously, I don’t think that’ll happen.
