What is LINK
Link is something that every junior has to accomplish. Each junior is asked to find a field of work that they are interested in, then look for jobs that are in that field of interest in or outside of Durango. Once they find a job they are asked to reach out to the owner or supervisor of that work place and ask if they could work with them for 3 week in the spring. After students got their internship confirmed they would then go to that specified workplace and once they were there they had to find a project that they could do for their mentor and themselves to present at the exhibition.

LINK Internship Designs
See below for the designs that I made during a my LINK internship with Salmon Sisters. The first two images are a design that I made for a young fisherman's pamphlet with an intended audience of the upcoming generation of fishers. The next five are two different designs that I made for two different fishing boats, the FV Osprey, and The FV Mira. It will be on the back of a sweatshirt. his also includes the refinement process of each design. The one after that is going to be for the front of both hoodies to represent the fact that these are annual designs.
