Worked as a Graphic Designer in the News Graphics Department emphasizing in Motion Graphics for TV.
Our job as a team was to prepare all the templates specially made for the News depending on the reportersʼ stories.
The softwares we used were After Effects, Google Earth, the Adobe collection and a software called Brainstorm. We used Brainstorm to create 3D templates and 3D scenarios for the news. There were around 20 templates in which we were responsible for and whenever there was the need to creating a new template, we had to always contact our boss, the Head Operator of 3 major departments at LBCI which are the News Department, the Graphics Department and the Promotion Department, to get an approval of the new template so we can use it. Meetings, discussions and brainstorming were held every week.
Modeled for NDUʼs Fashion Studio.
It was a non paid activity but it was a very good and nice experience because it also really helps you to have more confidence in yourself.
Internship for 2 weeks: Mainly consisted of observing how the work was done.
The positive thing about observing is that you can take as much notes as you want while focusing on the work being done and after doing that, the best thing was to try them back at home on your own computer and improving your skills.
Internship for 1 week: Learned how different types of printing are done
In Bassilʼs printing press, the machines were very old but thatʼs what made it interesting because I learned everything from scratch, from how they carve the information on the plates via Ultra Violet rays, onto placing them in the machines after they have dried out, placing the papers and trying out the ink until they make a book out of the whole process.
As hostesses, we were responsible for welcoming all the guests to the event, offering them services, showing them their seats and being at their service anytime they needed anything.
I majored in Graphic Design and emphasized in Multimedia and I also minored in Advertising & Marketing. We did a lot of print base projects and a lot of screen base projects. This link will take you directly to my portfolio found on the Behance Network www.behance.net/samanthanaufal
