15 Jul The Diary Of A BWD Intern
“We are not a graphics, website design or animation company but we’re a marketing company that helps clients’ business grow using web graphics, etc. We are in business to help our clients business to grow. So when doing work ask yourself, will this help our clients business grow?”
Many would ask themselves this question- “Why should I get an internship at BWD or any other company?”. Well, I think that if you take a second to read my testimonial as an intern at BWD you will get a much clearer idea of why you should get an internship.
I started interning at BWD from the second week of June 2015 and it is my first time working at the design agency and honestly, it was intimidating at first but because of the warm welcome I got when I started my internship at BWD I started to feel a little bit at ease. When I started working on my first project here I messed up dearly but Bongani Gosa (Creative Director at BWD) spoke to me and told me that “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”, which means that it is the simplest ideas that normally work. BWD has a leader that is with a vision, and a leader that is with a vision produces a great team that will follow in his footsteps.
My journey as an intern at BWD has been pretty much exciting and interesting as I managed to learn a great deal of things that also inspired me to become a better designer than I am today. When I came here I thought that I knew a lot of things but I recently noticed that I do not know what I don’t know. I learned things like communication and team work amongst many here at BWD. BWD has a friendly designer environment, once you settle in it will become very much easier for you to do whatever design work you are doing.
