Media Group where I was training for a period of 7 weeks, 4th Dec 2023 – 21st March 2024. The purpose of

the internship was to expose me to the practical skills and knowledge in the working environment. I gained

many practical skills in the different fields such as graphics designing, Branding, and working on practical

client projects, which I believe streamlined the future of my career. In conclusion the field attachment is very

important for the students especially those pursuing Art and Design courses. It should therefore be

strengthened to benefit the students more and the hosting organizations should adequately prepare good

2.6 Supervision levels and relationship with supervisor


2.6.1 Supervision level
Kyambogo University field attachment policy states that, “There will be two distinct levels of
supervision: site level day -to- day supervision by the field supervisor and the visitingacademic supervisor from
the university. During the visit, the academic supervisor will interact with the student on field attachment, field
supervisor or other relevant officials and also visit the attachment sites to acquaint himself or herself with the
activities of the student.

2.6.2 Field supervisor


The supervision at Edutech Media Group was made by Mr. Barungu Joel who gave me assignments and
guided me through how to study the Design elements and also to know the key areas when branding a company.
This was done in the period of internship and following a schedule He had made.

2.6.3 Academic supervisor


The University supervisor Mr. Serwaniko Chris came to my internship place for supervision. He
scrutinized my weekly reports and saw what I was facing. He interviewed me about how the situation was taking
me, interacted with my field instructor Mr. Barungu Joel who took him through what I was going through while
at work. I also appreciate the time that my supervisor gave me at my place of internship.

2.6.4 Relationship with supervisor


The relationship with the field supervisor was generally based on the following:

2.6.4.1 Getting the work done independently


The field supervisor gave me clear direction and expectations. My responsibility was to carry out
assigned tasks, without a lot of direct management.

15
2.6.4.2 Giving communication and feedback
I always freely talked to my field supervisor. I used to express my needs, challenges, and intensions. On
a weekly basis I used to write out what I was doing and any difficulties encountered, and later I gave it to my
field supervisor for evaluation and advice.

2.6.4.3 Being a good time manager


I had to ensure that am at office by 9:30 am ready for work and I used to leave office at 4:30pm or on
days when I needed to finish day’s tasks, I wound sometimes extend up to 6:00pm.

2.6.4.4. Being sensitive to the supervisor’s schedule


At times the field supervisor got a very busy schedule and so and I had to initiate tasks on self-basis,
show enthusiasm and seek input. This is because I had to give my field supervisor time to work according to
his schedule, and so believe in the supervisor’s judgment.

2.6.4.5 Work team and its composition


At Edutech Media group, team work was highly emphasized. We were instructed to work in a teams and
collaborations and we achieved many things such as Discussing ideas and criticizing our designs to come with
good ones.

2.6.4.6 Working relationship among team members / other staff


Due to the fact that some of the activities were executed in groups this provided an opportunity to interact
with each other freely. The Edutech Media group was so hospitable staff members were so concerned about
each other, in that when one delayed to report to office, others took responsibility to contact him/her to know
what exactly was going through.

define how they are specifically used each of them to produce finished projects that I made within My internship
training.

3.2 Instruments used and how they are operated


3.2.1 A sketch paper.
A sketch paper is a medium created with paper of different sizes and shapes such as the A4 size. It helps
to develop several ideals on the paper.
This is where I carried my sketches Project from before transferring them to Digital format that is the Raster
and vectors in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop of the Projects I was working upon. I carried out several
sketches in the Sketch book of which I later had to choose the best to use for my Project.

3.2.2 A pen and pencil.


The tools I used to note down my research sketches onto the sketch book.

3.2.3 Log Book


The Log book helped me to note down my all daily routine activities that I was passing through in terms
of learning new skills during my internship and getting to know what am to do in the next hours or next day.

3.2.4 Computer/Laptop
It’s an electric device that is used to run programs that enables one like a Graphic designer to create
Graphic content through the designing soft wares. I used the Computer to work on all my Project works, save,
edit and produce them for use.

3.2.5 Rulers and strips


These were used to measure around small prototypes and create the exact measurements in different digital
softwares

3.2.6 Design soft wares


It’s the software that has got tools enabling one to create elements in a 2D form. This was adobe Illustrator,
adobe Photoshop and adobe in Design.
The software I used in designing the Project work that is Adobe Illustrator mostly in creating the raster graphics.

17
3.2.7 Wi-Fi internet
I used the Internet to carry out all my research regarding to graphics, to know and understand using
layouts, color, style fonts and size and the information regarding to the Project I was working on.

3.2.8 Smartphone
The Smartphone assisted me in carrying out tasks search as use of internet for research storing on my
unaccomplished tasks for future use during the Internship.

3.2.9 Research
At this stage, I used various sources mostly the internet and others such as flyers, posters, magazines,
newspapers, billboards. As researching also got to know how apply photography/images like on flyers and
posters in different layouts and the text in the different sizes and colors accordingly.

3.2.10 Source of inspiration.


The inspiration together with my research was got from the works of different designers on the team and
also looked throughout the online portfolios with similar projects to borrow a leaf.

3.2.11 Sketching and planning


At this stage I developed several ideas that could work and from all those, I had to pick one and develop
it with my other colleague’s advice on my selected item how I can develop it more to work on it.

3.2.12 Execution of the final work


When I chose the final sketch I started developing it into the computer for the digital format where the
colors where applied with the necessary software.

3.2.13 Trials and consultation


When I finished the first design item, I had to consult with my fellow colleagues, friends to describe to
me how it looks like what to change and among others to make a standard final produce for the wellbeing of the
visual tasks being carried out.

3.2.14 Choosing the final piece


When am done with inquiring more knowledge and advice about my project, I use the given advice to
follow up on creating the best of the final project.

3.2.15 Presentation
This is the final stage in the design production process. It combines the whole content from the first
development stages up to last stages that gives a Final Project as one, it has to be pleasing for one’s first sight.

I regularly read industry-specific articles to keep up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in
the Graphics and web design industries. These resources such as Behance, 99 Designs and The Futur provided
inspiration and served as a resource for generating new ideas.
4.6 Internet Search Engines
I also used internet search engines to locate quick answers to basic questions related to the project I
was working on and branding. This helped me to find information on topics such as new trends, branding
design principles, and inspirational material.

CHAPTER FIVE: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.0 Introduction.
This chapter consists of discussion, conclusions and recommendation of internship experiences at
Edutech Media Group from 4th Dec 2023 to 21th Jan 2024.

5.1 Conclusion
According to the above chapters of this report, the field attachment program has been of a great value
due to the achieved goals of confidence in program solving, acquired new knowledge and skills, obtained the
working experience, exposed to the workplace challenges demands, met potential employers and others through
performing the assigned tasks.
Challenges give us a chance to prove ourselves. After taking challenges, I realized it changed my
thinking. Now I do not get afraid to any challenges. I think that challenges give us opportunities and we should
accept them.
I have gathered lots of experience and learning during my internship period. Involvement on real life
projects taught me how to handle and cope with a very large projects, how to manage things easily, how to
maintain projects timeline and schedule, how to develop a completeproject etc. This whole journey also taught
me to be passionate, hard-working, rational and dependable, punctual, intelligent, cordial, enthusiastic, arduous
and confident. So, I think that my overall progress during my internship period was noteworthy and it will play
a key role throughout my whole life.
On my side, field attachment program has been a successful one in the course of Bachelors of Computer
Graphics and Design.

5.3 Recommendation
Basing on all that I went through during the whole period of the program, I recommend
Edutech Media Group and the students joining the field attachment program to do the following
for the betterment of the program;
I encourage students to always adapt to the new technologies in the world. I also encourage
students joining field attachment to venture into areas beyond their field and learn as much as they
can in fields of video editing, social skills and fieldwork which will make them more capable of
being employed.
Students should always search for solutions and inspirations online. This is because there
are many people in the world that have faced similar problems or challenges related to yours. They
upload step by step answers and solutions they took to overcome such challenges from different
sites. During the period I spent, I realized there were more tutorials about my field than I had
thought.
Students should not be afraid of facing challenges, both Graphics and non-design related.
This is because in the working environment, you can’t avoid challenges, however to improve your
experience, one should solve as many challenges as possible
Thanks and gratitude should also flow to my University supervisor Mr. WAISWA YUSIF
for the guidance offered to me and direction during my preparation of my internship report and
many more.
