A Rewarding Experience

I just finished my internship at FamilyLife on Friday. All in all it was a GREAT experience! I learned a lot about design and also my likes and dislikes. I learned that web design is something that interests me, but is not something that I'm passionate about. The design part is awesome...once I get into the HTML and CSS I'm not so sure. Since I tend to be a more intuitive thinker, I felt threatened and unsure when I had rules I had to follow. Maybe I just need to learn more and then I will like it.

On the other hand, at the end of the internship I was able to work on some projects for print, and it was the most fun I had had all summer. Call my nerdy, but I love knowing that my design will be tangible...in other words, I LOVE when the paper comes out of the printer all warm, glossy, and colorful! Colors seem more real on paper (of course, being the mac snob that I am, colors on a mac screen are pretty darn close!). So I know that I would like to pursue print design..that's what I love. Unfortunately print design is dwindling. So we'll see where I can go with that.

For now, I'm working on a revamp for my website www.thejuliesullivan.com. It will include all of the work I've done at FamilyLife (a great addition to my portfolio)! I'm also about to start my last semester at UCA. I think the next few months will be pretty exciting!
