MART 302 – Mehltretter
Due: September 15, 2009
Interview with Stephens – Denver, CO – September 10
- How can you briefly define your job to me?
I basically handle all of the project – I do it all, from designing to producing. Some of the major things I’ve been involved in are print ads all around the Denver area. I also kind of cover all of the little details such as editing the work and putting it all together at the end…like I said, beginning to end.
2. How did you get started in this business?
Well I actually went to school at Mississippi State for marketing and ended up leaving to work in Savannah. I didn’t jump into producing design and photography until the past couple of years. It just sort of fell into my lap – things I love to do meshed well with things that I was good at and there you go!
- How do you tell someone over you that you couldn’t accomplish an assigned task?
(She laughed when I asked this question) That’s really not an option in this business. It’s all about deadlines – especially when they’re expecting to go to print, press, or air on a certain date – I mean it has to be ready at that point, it’s not like you can turn it in a week late for 5 points off. It’s got to be done when you tell them it’ll be done.
- Do you have any advice for a media student who is just starting out?
Well since I entered the field pretty much by networking I would suggest that you stay in contact with as many people as possible. Don’t be afraid to make connections and call people up – just like you called me.
