You may also help with research, mood boards, and revisions based on client or team feedback. This hands-on experience allows you to develop your technical skills, collaborate with professionals, and gain insight into industry workflows. Expect to work closely with designers, illustrators, and project managers, which can help you build a strong professional network for future opportunities.
