Internships through MPTC

The following projects displayed below are the internship opportunities that, through Moraine Park Technical College, I was able to find, land, and deliver on the client’s vision.

Badger State Limousine Service

Before

The former website was built using GoDaddy’s WYSIWYG SiteBuilder framework. While functional, it was not responsive on today’s devices, used outdated photographs, and most importantly did not offer mobile users a good experience in using the Contact Form on Mobile.

About

Badger State Limousine is a Milwaukee-based Limousine and Corporate transportation company focused on quality and attention to detail when servicing their client’s needs. As a result, we worked together to create a website that would be an extension of that philosophy.

This was an exercise in everything I had learned about Content Management Systems. In particular, finding a plugin that could replace the comprehensive fields of the contact form and format the fields properly for mobile platforms was a challenge that was both intimidating and exciting to overcome.

In addition, this website was a full extension of the skills learned in the IMD program; delivering a new logo, high-resolution resizable graphics, and a video advertisement delivered to YouTube using Royalty-Free music, fonts, and scrubbed high-res images.

Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church

Before

Before this internship started, Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church had no web presence. I could only manage to find two low-resolution images of the building; one of the exterior and one of the interior of the building.

About

Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church is a small, tight-knit, and quaint congregation located in Oshkosh. The client wanted a web-presence that would serve as a way to educate and inform people about the Church and their mission.

With this internship, the client and I are both designers. As such, there was clear synergy in how an idea would be requested by the client (through sketch or verbally) and implemented by me within the week.

It also was an educational experience in that I was able to develop a presence for an organization that I am not familiar with; I did a fair amount of research to make sure the Church and it’s beliefs were presented in the most accurate way possible.
