My name is Ashley Reinstein and I am a recent graduate from Clemson University's Department of Graphic Communications. I am currently working in Switzerland until the end of December 2010 with ICON Worldwide doing design work for branding, print and web. Take a look below to see a little more of my experiences!
Clemson University • May 2010
Bachelor of Science in Graphic Communications • Minor: Communications, Advertising
• GPA: 3.35 • GC GPA: 3.58
Graduated with experience in printing & designing:
• Adobe Creative Suite • Quark • Offset Lithography • Screen Printing • Flexography
Conrad Fafard Inc • January to April 2009
This position began as a graphic design internship, but when the lead designer unexpectedly left the company I became the lead designer for the remainder of my time. This position included making changes to the brand identity by redesigning inter-office memos, business cards, note pads, soil and fertilizer bags, and power point presentations. Other items that were completely redesigned include horticultural brochures, co-op brochures, and banners and signs for co-op customers.
Peculiar Productions • May to August 2008
This internship allowed me to develop important skills with the Adobe Creative Suite. I learned how to use InDesign and refined skills already possessed in Illustrator and Photoshop. Being a marketing, advertising and design agency we followed design processes from beginning to end by designing jobs, shooting necessary photography and preflighting files with strict deadlines. Maintaining open communication with all clients was a necessary and daily part of this position.
Campus Banner and Design • July 2007 to May 2008
Managed and ran on-campus printing organization. Clients either sent in artwork or requested specific banners and signage. Art was then printed on a large-format HP printer using a variety of substrates including photo papers, vinyls, tyvek and canvas. Solutions could be finished with an array of laminations and have the option of adding grommets and hemming, or being mounted.
