Summer Internship with Lion Financial Corporation

Lion Financial Corporation, located at 7706 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Denver is a mortgage institution that specializes in providing various financial services to their prospective clients. As a company with Independent Business Owners (IBO), they help their client to achieve financial independence by teaching them how to utilize their mortgage as a financial tool–transforming it from their greatest liability to their strongest asset.

The company’s main marketing strategy is focused toward the use of information technology, which includes internet marketing, live web casting of a variety of business and finance presentations, seminars and training.

As an intern in the multimedia department, my primary duty is to design corporate images (logo), websites, flyers, complimentary cards and other public relations / marketing materials. Furthermore, I am expected to work through and for the various IBOs within the company, by creating ideas that appeal to their interest, needs and budget.

Also, as a designer, I am responsible for supervising the production of various graphic design projects, which is often subject to constant changes during the process of production. In most cases, these changes are not necessary due to the my choice, but might be objectively determined by such factors as production cost, availability of required materials or techniques, a change in client’s core requirements, or discovery of key problems that were not obvious in the early stages of the project.

Furthermore, I have to work with other people with whom I have a contractual relationship. This is with the hope of reconciling various professionals involved in the production process at various stages. Such coordination includes sorting, ordering, and relating information.

In conclusion, I must be able to evaluate problems or opportunities, in a dispassionate way on individual terms and to select, arrange and dispose these decisions accordingly. Also, I must be able to strive on constraint and turn every opportunity to good account, spending at least half of the time working with graphic media of one sort or another during the final stages of the design.
