Graphic Designer for the Ningbo/Jimei Partnership Program in The Business School. The Project Manager for designing a gallery event for the Chinese International Business Students. Three other Graphic Design Students worked with me to fulfill these purposes. I would review their work and we would make a collection of images prepared for framing and display at the Gallery.It was called "Perspectives" due to it being a collection of photographs from these students trips throughout all of Canada. These students were exposed to a culture contrasted from their own and wanted to show the students and faculty from both China and Canada how intimidating yet fulfilling change this can be: studying abroad. We prepared several items for the Gala Event that included:+ Invitations+ Gathering and preparing images for print+ Designing a “look-book” which contained all gallery images and info on the program and the project+ Continuously working with a Printer to receive the right images in the right sizes. + Setting up and building the Exhibit with the CuratorThe event was a success. Everything was on display from April 1-10, 2013. People filled the room on April 4th for the Gala night. A Silent Auction for all the images ran throughout the 10 days of the exhibit and were distributed afterwards. Local News Channel OMNI Television for the Chinese Sector came to interview a handful a students about what the Exhibit meant to them.Professional Look Books were printed and given to selected Humber Staff, Ningbo University and Jimei University Business Faculty. Small Take-Away Cards were also developed and shipped to the two Universities for Recruiting Purposes.
