This internship was for Amanda Seales’s (Award-winning Actress, Comedian, Artist) blog called Smart, Funny and Black. I was fortunate enough to work with her in creating a variety of Social Media post. Every week, interns were tasked with creating content from a given prompt, from Amanda Seales. All graphics were made by me. Ideas and Content was a collaborative effort with my assigned Team.

SFB Society App Relaunch

Amanda Seales & the Smart, Funny & Black team were impressed with my collaborative work with another Graphic Arts intern, Danielle Christian. During the internship we were asked to create a total of 6 covers for topics and groups for a possible relaunch of the SFB app. 3 Weeks after the internship ended, we were invited back to do a full relaunch based on the 6 covers we initially made. Here are the final products including 2 graphics to announce the relaunch.

For this project I took on the responsibility of designing the base and foundation of the designs, my collaborator drew all of the clip art ad-ons.

Deliverables: Announcement Graphics, New Groups, Topics and Topics Within Groups.
