Role: Graphic Design Intern
Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, SketchUp, Blender
Skills: Branding, Publication Design, Book Cover Design, Typography, Logo Design, 3D Modeling, Product Visualization, Layout Design, Visual Storytelling
During my graphic design internship at Pearl Jars, I designed book covers for product guides and lifestyle publications that supported the company's focus on sustainability, healthy living, and reusable packaging. I created clean, engaging layouts that incorporated brand imagery and typography while maintaining a cohesive visual identity across multiple publications. As part of a rebranding initiative, I developed logo concepts that gave the company greater flexibility to market and resell its jars under its own private-label brand. I also created accurate 3D models and product renderings of the jars using SketchUp and Blender, producing visuals that could be used for marketing, branding, and product presentations before physical photography was available. This experience strengthened my skills in branding, publication design, typography, 3D modeling, product visualization, and visual storytelling.
