WHERE TO BEGIN YOUR CAREER AFTER GETTING A GRAPHIC DESIGN DEGREE

Internships are an excellent way to start accumulating experience in any discipline, gaining valuable resume cache while also helping you start your network of industry contacts.

In Graphic Design, internships are usually found with some of the larger graphic design firms, but they can also be found at advertising agencies or design studios. Many companies that do graphic design in-house have some sort of dedicated department that you'll be able to find and offer your services to.

When you're not rushing to get coffee for an office full of techie artists, your duties might include assisting with web design, brainstorming, developing prototypes, and learning to use some of the more advanced industry-specific rendering technologies used by the company.
