Rhythm2Dance (R2D) is a Canadian hip hop dance company that aims to build and unify dance communities all across the country. R2D hosts workshops and brings international dance opportunities to the Canadian dance scene.
MY ROLE: As one of R2D’s graphic designers, my mains tasks were to create promotional graphics for workshops and events, as well as design merchandise.
WHAT I LEARNED: Working for R2D has allowed me to improve on my technical design skills and branding. I was given a lot of creative freedom in my work, giving me the opportunity to explore different styles. However, the biggest takeaway I got from this experience was communication and time management. I often got asked to make posts very last minute and usually had a week or less to complete projects, depending on the event. As I do this work in my spare time, I learned to manage my time better in terms of brainstorming and in the overall creative process.
