“Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.”- Marshall McLuhan

So what does this quote have to do with me? I firmly believe in it's message. Art is forever changing around us, taking on new forms and inspiring us in different ways. Most people fast-forward through the commercials on TV or quickly flip through the advertisements in magazines- not me! I love analyzing the artistic flair that these advertisements use to try to reach people in different ways. It’s an art form!

I am currently a student at Ohio University majoring in Journalism-Advertising with a minor in Art-Graphic Design. I choose to intern at Fig for it’s unique perspective and creative endeavors that seem to be a staple in their mission. At Fig, I hope to learn as much as I can from their creative staff and professionals and to refine my own creative skills as well.

Five Goals for my experience at Fig:

1. Learn everything I possibly can.

2. Sharpen my design skills.

3. Further my capabilities with Adobe Creative Suite.

4. Become inspired by other creative individuals.

5. Successfully contribute to a major team project.
