Internship Applications as Practice Portfolios

Yesterday I submitted an application to another internship and I came to realize that as I apply to internships it becomes a little easier each time to submit "sample work" It's an abbreviated portfolio so to speak. Now the last internship I applied to I was even less satisfied with my application than this one,but this one I have started to think about the style I want to show, and themes and types of works I want to put forward. Here is what I submitted yesterday.

The reason for these particular pieces is that the call for applications specifically mentioned the adobe suite, CAD, and Sketchup, so for this particular submission I didn't include any Rhino or physical model building.
Until next time!

Early Christmas Present

Happy Holidays! Today I decided to get myself an early Christmas present that I can't wait to install. Its the Adobe Creative Suite CS 5.5 design premium! It comes with Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Flash Catalyst, Fireworks, Acrobat X Pro, as well as Bridge, Device Central, and Media Encoder. I've been holding off on this purchase for a long time, and I've really been wanting to do some work in Flash and Dreamweaver. I'll make the time! Anyways this was a debate between the Design Premium suite and the Web Premium suite. The reason I decided to go with the Design Premium was it has almost all of the web premium minus Flash Builder BUT the web premium lacks InDesign. I really like InDesign. Anyways this should help me on my way to amazing! Oh! and since I get mad discounts as a UW student all for 380 after tax... not too bad.
Until next time!
