(This isn't something I made during my mentorship, but it's something I was requested to make for my church, which was a type of graphic design: layouts, which I learned to do during my time of mentoring.)
1. List the contact name, phone number, and organization of the person with whom you volunteered.
-Caroline Hou, (626) 330 4919, Betani Footwear
2. What qualified this person as an expert in your topic choice?
-My mentor designed shoes. Since shoe design and graphic designing is within the same category, it was something that could work out. My job was to take pictures and create layouts for the shoe catalogs.
3. List three questions for further exploration now that you've completed your summer hours.
-1. What are the things I'm presenting to the world that requires professional design?
2. What are the key materials needed to design something the customer will be satisfied with?
3. What does a graphic designer need to know outside of their field to create a successful business with other businesses?
4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
-The most important thing I gained from this experience was that I needed to be able to satisfy many people, ranging from my mentor to the customer with my designs.
5. What is your senior project topic going to be? How did mentorship help you make your decision? Please explain.
-My senior project topic will be about graphic design. I originally decided on going down the graphic design path, therefore I decided to start small and I really liked how interactive I was able to be in that environment. It made me like my topic even further, since it was not only just designing, it was also photography and layouts all together.
