Graphic Designer Internship
Westside Love2023 – 2024
As an intern, I have the opportunity to delve deeper into the world of graphic design, refining my skills under the guidance of experienced professionals. Involving creating visually compelling designs that aligned with the brand's identity and resonated with its target audience. I have gained hands-on experience with design software, honing my ability to translate concepts into eye-catching visuals.
Beyond graphic design, my internship also immersed me in the broader aspects of the clothing business. I learned about sourcing materials, managing inventory, and the intricacies of production. This practical exposure provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the entire clothing production process.
One of the distinguishing aspects of this internship is the emphasis on aligning with the brand's morals. Westside Love's commitment to ethical practices and social responsibility became an integral part of my learning experience.
Designer
Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity2021 – 2022
I was responsible for creating visually appealing shirt designs and logos for various fraternity events, including parties and fundraisers. This involved tapping into my creativity to come up with unique and eye-catching designs that resonated with the fraternity's identity.
In addition to the creative aspect, I had to handle the logistical side of the job. This included reaching out to shirt manufacturers to discuss design specifications, fabric choices, and pricing. Coordinating with manufacturers was crucial to ensure that our custom shirts met quality standards and were delivered on time.
Furthermore, I played a pivotal role in planning the dates for shirt drop-offs, aligning them with the fraternity's event calendar. This required effective communication and organization to ensure that all members received their shirts in a timely manner, especially for special occasions.

Projects
CREATE FC
https://milostibor.com/portfolio/create-fc/I designed a comprehensive visual identity for CREATE FC, a brand blending community, streetwear fashion, and futsal. Starting with their logo, I developed a cohesive brand presence, including custom patterns, magazine layouts, and the magazine itself, along with supporting graphics that captured the brand's essence. Additionally, I created 3D models to showcase their storefront, banners, and kiosks, such as a bus stop and a soccer tennis court. Throughout the process, I guided CREATE FC from initial concepts to final mockups, ensuring each step aligned with its vision of connecting fashion and sport. This project highlights my ability to build immersive brand experiences from the ground up.
