I’m writing regarding being an intern with Public Interest Network for the Sum-
mer of 2018. I’m hoping to work for a business that I can use my skills and
creativity in design to help improve the company. I am interested in working
for Public Interest Network because I want to create work for a company that
appeals to a diverse demographic and truly wants to better the world as a whole.
As a Junior double majoring in Integrated Media Arts and Business at Juniata
College, I’ve studied many different design techniques that I feel will benefit
Public Interest Network. During my university studies, I have taken the following
classes:
Digital Photography
Principles of Digital Media
Graphic Design lab
Communication
Web Design
Integrated Media Lab
Beginning and Intermediate Drawing
Color and Design
Advertising and Promotions
In my final years at university I plan on expanding my design knowledge and
skills in photography, animation, graphic design, and video.
Using what I’ve learned thus far, I’ve worked within my community to help local
businesses and organizations build their web presence and improve their ad-
vertising. A local pharmaceutical business based in my hometown of Portage,
MI called Global Clinical Connections commissioned me to design promotional
materials including a wine label, a brochure, and a print advertisement for a
pharmaceutical business called Global Clinical Connections. I also helped man-
age the business’s social media pages. I continued my engagement in my local
community as I worked with companies surrounding my college in Huntingdon,
Pennsylvania. My original photographs of the Huntingdon Community Center’s
facilities are featured on their official website. These photographs are also used
on many of the poster advertisements that I created for the company alongside
my classmates. Lastly, I aided Huntingdon’s local Clifton 5 movie theatre in devel-
oping their website and Facebook page by photographing the theatre’s interior.
Since final details are still in progress, the Clifton 5’s new website has not yet
been launched but will contain many of my original photographs.
Looking ahead, I have been selected as a BCA study abroad storyteller. BCA
Study Abroad is an international nonprofit organization that connects students
all over the world through foreign study. As a BCA storyteller, I will document my
semester abroad in Barcelona, Spain through photography, video, and keeping
a multimedia blog. These photos and videos will then be featured on BCA’s
Instagram page.
After helping these four companies improve their advertising and online pres-
ence, I look forward to facing and working through the many challenges of
design, photography and marketing. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity
to interview for the Public Interest Network. I look forward to speaking with you,
and am happy to answer any questions you may have. I appreciate your time and
consideration.
