Notes from Tamika Reid: Wow. I can honestly say that I’ve never enjoyed a job like this before. There are so many things going on and everyday I’m learning something new. This summer at Northeastern University I learned how very important typography can be from my co-worker Stacey Bakaj; I never knew how scrupulous people were with fonts. From my mentor Pam Rodriguez I learned the basics of web design such as creating layouts with Photoshop, content matrices, and tools for inspiration.
One of the best parts of this summer was being able to follow Bruce Ployer while he acted on all his visions for Northeastern University. One of these visions was having Shepard Fairey install a piece of his artwork in the new Northeastern dorms. Although Shepard Fairey couldn’t be there it was still an amazing experience that not many people can say they have done.
