Being a Graphic Designer
My role
My job as a graphic designer at Purdue Student Life marketing officially entails “Designing marketing material for Purdue University Residences, Dining & Culinary. Working on multitude of projects of different intensities and deadlines.”
Besides working on marketing material like flyers, posters, banners, web posts, etc., I also work with the staff as someone who is a jack of all trades being someone they reach out to for “new things” like creating animated video adverts or advice around web design for their website.
I am also engaging in UX work with SL Marketing researching for their website.
