Potential Internships and Careers
Graphic design classes at USF St. Petersburg expose students to real client work and professional opportunities before they graduate — just ask Heidi Hicks.
Hicks and her classmates received an assignment from Tampa Bay business Joffrey’s Coffee to create a design for coffee packaging inspired by German Streusel Coffee Cake. She submitted her design, which was posted on the company’s website for public voting. Hicks’ submission was selected and put on the coffee packaging!
