Summer 2010
As an intern for the AJE Graphics Department required a full day of being on the computer; going through files from other centres, checking the production list of stories, taking calls for last minute changes and breaking news, sitting in on meetings with another designer to find out what the producers wanted, sifting through online databases to find images for the stories and creating the telecast walls that would be presented behind the anchor during the show.
Skills needed for the internship were: first and foremost a good attitude, people skills, willing to work long hours, a knowledge of Adobe CS programs (Photoshop and Illustrator mostly), and a willingness to learn.
