New intern starts today!

Media Studio Internship

Media Studio have been joined by Claire Taylor who will be working with the department for three months on an internship. Claire studied Illustration & Visual Communication for three years for her undergrad degree and has just completed an MSc in Medical Art at Dundee University. The one year MSc course included modules such as: learning human anatomy, human dissection, life drawing, learning to present to the public/professionals, medico-legal ethics, the opportunity to observe surgery and the chance to work with medical professionals on larger projects running alongside a final thesis.

Claire is greatly looking foward to working with all of the departments within Media Studio, but her main focus will be with the graphics team where she hopes to work on a variety of projects both indepentently and as part of a team. Claire has a traditional illustration style using pencils and pastels to create realistic work, however she also enjoys using digital drawing media such as Photoshop and Zbrush when layered or 3D work is required. She also uses Photoshop for digital painting when a more realistic illustration is needed and photography is not appropriate/possible.

A fantastic opportunity

Claire has worked with a variety of healthcare professionals from ENT consultants to palliative care clinical leads; she hopes that by the end of the internship she will have a greater understanding of how a department such as Media Studio runs successfully within a hospital setting. This fantastic opportunity will allow Claire to gain knowledge about the industry and to develop both her artistic and professional skills.
