ELLE SCHUSTER (GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATOR/PHOTOGRAPHER)
Intern

I attained an internship in a profession that was exciting to me. I have
always been interested in illustration so I choose to work as an assistant

arranged them in a way she could easily go back to any project she needed.
I also proudly preformed the errands and work that would be associated to
the term "gopher".
CATINA FERRIAN

I have passion for fashion. During the summer after eighth grade (not for
credit) I interned for a local fashion designer. I learned how to use an
industrial sewing machine, embroidery and bead work. I also cut out
patterns, steamed and iron dresses. For customers custom fittings I would
record measurements. At the end of day I did what was needed -- cleanup,
sweeping and taking out the trash.
Education
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS
BFA Printmaking
Denton, TX
2008
While enrolled at UNT, I majored in traditional methods in printmaking. As
a part of my education I studied book making. During this class I learned
different methods of sewing the blocks together as well as perfect bind. I
made a few soft back and hard back covers to showcase my art.. This
exploration lead me to pursue an internship with a bindery. I still pursue
my dreams in fine art, but bookbinding is one of my passions. My experience
with book making showed me another pursuit that brings me great tranquility
and a real sense gratification.
