INTERNSHIP WORK (CHOP)

Graphic Design

Supervisors: Michal Warchol & Andrea Dillard

Trivia Question Designs

During my internship at CHOP, I had the exciting opportunity to design weekly graphics for trivia questions featured on the Countdown & Area51, part of CHOP’s in-house TV network, Galaxy51. This role allowed me to experiment with diverse color themes and explore various design assets within Canva and Adobe Stock. While I incorporated pre-existing elements like stickers and graphics, all compositions, typography choices, and final designs were original. Using Canva helped me create engaging visuals efficiently, making it easier to produce fresh, engaging content and designs each week in this fast-paced role.
