This project was created during my third-year internship at the School of Applied Arts in La Chaux-de-Fonds. It is a book that captures my two-month experience as an intern in Geneva.
As part of my studies at the School of Applied Arts in La Chaux-de-Fonds, I had the opportunity to complete a two-month internship with Anthesis/Charlescannon, a communications company based in Geneva. This experience was incredibly enriching, both professionally and personally. I gained hands-on experience working in a professional setting and developed valuable skills in animation. On a personal level, I also learned to live independently in a new environment.
During my internship, I posted photos daily on this Instagram account: 3imd24_stage_alexiane_hildbra. Later, I created this book, which holds significant value for me because it’s very personal. Each day, I wrote about my experiences to ensure I wouldn’t forget any part of the journey. This project required extensive editorial work, as I had to manage a large amount of images and text. I then printed the pages at a professional printer and hand-bound two copies myself.
For the graphic design choices, I opted for a vibrant, colorful style to reflect this special experience. I selected warm colors, as my internship took place in the summer. Additionally, the company where I interned often worked on projects related to ecology. I divided my experience into an "IN" section (inside the company) and an "OUT" section (everything surrounding it). To represent this, I used margins: images from the "IN" section feature margins around them, and the "IN" texts are also framed with margins.
