Charlotte Hornets Internship

During the summer of 2016 I worked as an intern for the Creative Services Department for the Charlotte Hornets. It was an incredible experience living and working in the city of Charlotte for three months. I gained further experience in digital and print design by providing creative assistance on multiple marketing campaigns, developing a presentation template from scratch to be used on all Partnerships presentations, designing an A-Z Guide for the Guest Services team, designing game flags, and so much more. Not only did I grow in my technical skills, but the experience of interacting with professionals from other departments within the organization and with fellow interns was a valuable one in learning how to express your ideas and communicate effectively.

Mockups

Mockups are something I did frequently during this internship, which further allowed me to delve into Photoshop. Mockups served as a great way to show those in other departments within the Hornets organization, and potential Hornets partners, what their branding could look like in potential environments. I commonly did mockups that could be shown to potential partners to show what their branding could look like in potential in-game promotion scenarios. Unless otherwise indicated, in-arena images and logos were provided to me, but the designs are ones I created.
