Hello! My name is Angela Duncan and I am the new intern at Brand 1111. The internship here is the last step before graduating from SCF with my degree in Graphic Design. I am not sure where I want to go with my degree but Im hoping working with Brand 1111 will point me in the right direction. I've always liked the idea of designing advertisement pieces (business cards, letterheads, mailers, post cards etc.) But here Im hoping to work with multiple projects. I wasn't sure what to expect when coming into this internship, I pictured lots of people who … [Read more...]
The Newbie in Town
Hey there readers! My name is Katelyn Drenchen and I am the newest intern at Brand Eleven Eleven. So first I will tell you a little bit about me. I will be a junior at Southeastern University and I am studying Journalism and Public Relations (PR). My big dream is to have my own wedding planning company and help brides on their big day, but the funny thing is that I have never actually been in a wedding and have only attended two weddings that I can remember, but I know that's my dream! Since I am going into my junior year in college I figured I should … [Read more...]
Internship is Over . . .
Today has finally come where I finish my internship. I have completed the required 150 hours and this will be the last day working at brand 1111 for now.

A Future Job
Finishing up my last 1/3 of this internship I have seen a lot in the last 2 months. Some things I like and others I don’t. I have felt sometimes why do I want to do this and others times this is the best thing in the world. I have come to a conclusion that I want to do web development instead of so much print design. Code is what I love to look at. Yet I still am a designer, I like to implement the design to the end and have it become a working website. This internship has shown me what type of job I think I would be good at and what to look for when … [Read more...]
Understanding a Business
I thought I had a good understand of what needs to happen in a business. Such as getting clients, doing projects, getting paid and paying your bills. That seems like a good idea of a business. On the contrary that is just seeing the main things about a business but not the hard choices of a business. Where as, the unsaid things that actuality do run the business and keep it going. Such as planning and working on strategies to further promote the business; keep it moving forward and growing. In a business there are many things that constantly need … [Read more...]
My First Web Project
After about a month at Brand 1111 I feel comfortable doing almost any project they ask. Im in the process of getting a website design approved for a company and they are letting me do the design mockup and put the whole website together. Something I never thought I would be allowed to do; I always thought that I would just help with a website. My thoughts were that I would get to keep doing the updates I have been doing for the past month like: content updates, blog post updates, and putting pages together for websites. Never thought they would want … [Read more...]
