speaker

I LOVED the speaker we had today. She was so upbeat and informative. She really put a lot of emphasis on how important it is to get an internship. She explained to us that because of the internship she had is what made her get the job that she has today. The internship that she did was at the coliseum an that is where she learned graphic design. She also explained to us that it is really important to get contacts. Its all about who you know in the fashion industry. She also told us that we should always have a resume on hand to give out. You never know who you might come in contact with day to day. About what she does. She explained a little bit about how a print is made onto a fabric. People send her either drawings, paintings, cut and paste, ect and they can take that and make it a print on fabric, which I found very interesting. Also, when she talked about how she worked in the quilt industry I was thinking to myself how boring! Quits are anything but that! She showed us some really fun and cute quilts and that quilt fabric can be made into much more things other then a quilt. She showed us really great curtains and apron that she had made. I never really thought about how important it is so learn graphic design until she came and talked to us. I know that graphic design is something i want to look into learning. She is also the person that does the blogs for her company. She is in charge of the whole blog all because of her graphic design background. She was a great speaker and really made me more interested in this career whereas I was on the fence about it before she came and spoke with us.
