Name:<\/strong> Ethan Fontes \u201925 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major<\/strong>: Graphic design <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minor:<\/strong> Marketing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hometown<\/strong>: Tracy, California <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extracurriculars<\/strong>: ASUOP <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Ethan Fontes arrived at University of the Pacific, he had never used graphic design software. But with support from Pacific\u2019s graphic design<\/a> program and a lot of determination, he built a professional portfolio from the ground up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After applying to more than 100 internships, Ethan got the callback of a lifetime: DreamWorks. The animation studio saw potential in his work and was impressed by the way he talked through his creative decisions. Today, he\u2019s putting those skills to use as a creative services marketing intern and helps promote some of the studio\u2019s most popular animated shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working at DreamWorks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get to do both things I learned in college, graphic design and marketing, while getting to work on big name productions,\u201d Fontes said. \u201cCurrently, I\u2019m working on \u2018Gabby’s Dollhouse,\u2019 \u2018Bad Guys 2\u2019 and the \u2018Jurassic World\u2019 series.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At DreamWorks, Fontes wears a lot of hats. He mostly revises key art, which requires him to review posters, video thumbnails and other promotional graphics to ensure they are up to the company\u2019s standards. He also works with trailer editors to ensure the right content has been chosen to convey the story. His other work includes writing internal emails and creating social media posts. Even with a full workload, Fontes says the experience has been pretty straightforward.  
 
\u201cWorking at ASUOP was a very fast-paced job. I thought working at DreamWorks was also going to be the same,\u201d Fontes said. \u201cI definitely feel like I pushed myself hard in and out of class. It prepared me well because I feel it’s actually little bit slower here.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning how to design at Pacific<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At Pacific, Fontes put his efforts into more than just his classwork. He attended networking events on and off campus to build connections and said yes to as many projects as he could. While he did a lot on his own, his mentors also provided crucial guidance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fontes said his coursework with art Professor Marie Lee and Professor Brett Deboer, who has since retired, helped him hone his skills in graphic design. Studying the basics such as typography and layouts was integral to his professional development. He noted that Lee\u2019s branding class in particular prepared him to work with companies on product designs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel like those classes helped strengthen me in the areas I needed,\u201d he said. \u201cGraphic design was something I liked to do on the side before I started school. Now it’s something that I\u2019m passionate about doing and want to do as a profession.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fontes, a marketing minor, said learning to receive criticism at Pacific was vital for succeeding in the professional world and that he values the ability to give constructive feedback. This skill is especially important in his current position at DreamWorks, he said, where he reviews a wide range of marketing materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the next step<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fontes said his favorite part of the DreamWorks internship has been working on unreleased projects. He gets to watch things that haven’t been announced to the public yet. He said it\u2019s that exclusivity that makes him want to continue working in entertainment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know I want to work in TV, music or sports. It would be really cool to work for Disney, stay with DreamWorks or work for a big label,\u201d Fontes said. \u201cThere’s a lot of possibilities in bringing that mixture of marketing and design to any entertainment role.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advice for future designers<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since the industry is built on connections and relationships, Fontes recommends that future graphic design students do more outside of class than perfecting technical skills. Getting off campus, attending industry conferences and meeting new people is just as important as understanding design software, he said. Starting small and being active on campus is important to him, as well.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSmall things add up to big things, and you might be noticed for a career path that you want to be in just because of a little thing you did on campus,\u201d he said. \u201cThose activities that you’re a part of carry over to personality traits that you can bring into interviews and in the workforce.\u201d  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
