Senior thesis background; for majority of the big picture program I have been studying graphic design, while exploring other branch off topics like social media marketing, print marketing, web development. I didn’t tend to like the branch off topics as much so they would always lead back to graphic design because of how much I enjoyed it. Throughout my design time I was working for Yakk Digital; Alongside there chief designers. It was an amazing opportunity and I absolutely loved learning from them and working with them. Unfortunately at the end of my Yakk time I had grown significantly in position and I didn’t see myself as a 'intern' anymore. I felt as though I was doing full clientele work and taking on my own clients so in turn I felt I deserved a small amount of compensation for it due it actually costing me money to get there every week. I had proposed a small hourly wage so that I could at least break even or make like $15/$20 for the day, unfortunately Broden at the time couldn’t afford to add another wage to his bills. Being a small business I completely understand Brodens response and I don’t hold any sort of resentment to him. Despite this, I was still offered a full time paid position after school. 

I also had the opportunity to study at Bond University for a semester for Graphic Design and Content Creation. Going into the Bond course I mistakenly underestimated it and it hit hard. Right off the bat, I was given the first of 5 assessments. The task was to design a 6 page magazine focussing on visual surrealism. Overall the experience was stressful and hard but none the less it was amazing.  

This year I have shifted the view of my project to begin studying real estate, it has always been curious about the industry. I have quickly realised it’s a hard industry to get into pre degree, everyone wants to hire people that already have experience but I cant get any experience without the job. Its just because it’s a flooded industry with a lot of people trying to make them selves known in it. 

I suppose I reap the benefits of the project, its bettering my career as well as whatever students come after me that want to go into the same industry. My assumption is that in that situation the future teachers would use my project as an example, this is a regular occurrence. 

• How can graphic design enhance basic real estate marketing mediums? 

• How can real estate marketing be effected directly by graphic design? How can it impact the viewer and their response?  

The methods I plan on using to showcase my thesis will either be an informative report, mock open home, mock design methods. At the end I will have an accumulated section of work on my online portfolio. 

The recourses I am going to need are my laptop, white book (for research).  The people helping me are Steff and Tai, once the internship starts I will also have Majeedah (Host of Internship). 

This work holds personal significance for me as it represents a bridge between my passion for graphic design and my younger interest in the real estate industry. By delving into this topic, I aim to not only enhance my own career prospects but also contribute valuable insights that may benefit future students interested in pursuing similar paths. Through my project, I hope to develop practical skills in property marketing and design while also building a portfolio that showcases my capabilities to potential employers. In the short-long run, this endeavour may open doors to opportunities in real estate marketing, sales, or even entrepreneurship, allowing me to make a tangible impact in both my own life and the broader industry landscape. 

The long term goal is to be able to grow my skills and connections in the industry to eventually be able to start my own prestige property agency. My vision is I would like to leave my footprint in the industry, the step after that would be multiple locations that are self sufficient/self-running 

So I am able to travel the world.
