BANTJES BY: WWW.DESIGNBOOM.COM
Marian Bantjes started working in the field of visual communication in 1983, and subsequently worked for 10 years as a book typesetter (that is her education). From 1993 to 2002 she owned and ran a design firm with a partner, with 2 to 12 staff members, creating the usual gamut of materials for a wide range of corporate, education and arts- organizations (that is her experience). Since 2003 she has crossed the boundaries between design, illustration and typography and currently works in this zone, mostly for other designers (that is her experiment). She is also in her 4th year on the British Columbia board of the society of graphic- designers of Canada (GDC/BC), writes about design for the design website speak up, and teaches typography through emily carr institute in Vancouver.
DO YOU HAVE A MOTTO? No I don’t, so instead I will tell you my one wish (for when I find a genie) I wish that when I die, I will be satisfied with all I have done in my life.
WHAT IS YOUR DAILY ROUTINE? Well, it’s both pathetic and envious. I wake up any time between 6am and 10am and I’m at the computer about 30 seconds after I get out of bed. Email, check up on a few sites and futzing around with godknows-what until I get really hungry a few hours later. I’ll then get dressed and have cereal for breakfast. Unless I’m working on some kind of deadline, I don’t really get into gear until mid-afternoon. then I’ll work until about midnight (where work entails both drawing and being at the computer, lots more email and writing), and go straight back from my computer to bed. I’ll break to eat, and I’m trying to train myself to do things like watch movies or take some time out to read. My days are pretty much the same, 7 days a week. This is pathetic because it is possible for me to spend an entire day in a very small area—I could live my life from jail! However, it’s envious because although this is my routine I’m also able to vary it at will: if it’s sunny I’ll spend some time outside, go for a walk; if I’m feeling lazy I’ll stay in bed for an hour or more before getting up; I have no meetings to attend, and very low stress; my environment is green, quiet and clean.
I’M I’MLUCKY. LUCKY.
BY THOMAS PETER HEADEN AND JACQUELINE MARIE HEADEN PETER: I was at a skating rink one night when I was 16, in 1958, and I saw this young lady. I waited for you to take a break and get a Coke before I made my move. I grabbed you by the hand and said, “My name’s Thomas Peter Headen.” And you said, “My name’s Jacqueline LeFever.” I looked in those big green eyes, and it was a done deal. So we dated. Then, in 1959, your father got transferred to Japan. I decided, Well, I’ll go get her. I joined the Marine Corps, and I said, “I want to go to Japan.” The Marine Corps said, “You’ll go to Japan when we tell you you can go to Japan.” So I went to a base in California. JACQUE: I dated a Marine while I was in Japan, and I ended up getting married — I guess just because I thought that’s what I was supposed to do. We came back to the States in 1962, but I didn’t know what happened to you. PETER: Well, I finally got orders to Okinawa. And I said, Oh, boy. I’ll go see Jacque when I get to Japan! I was home on leave — you always get leave before you go overseas — and stopped by to say hi to your mother. And she said right away, “Jacque got married. But here, you can have this picture of her.” I made some excuse that I had an appointment or something — the walls were kind of crawling in on me — and I left. I went overseas for 14 months, and then I came back to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, not knowing you were right outside the
PETER: When I came back from Vietnam, I spent 24 hours at home, and then I went to my mother at about 4 a.m. and said, “I’ve got to go to North Carolina.” And she kind of looked at me: “I think you better leave that one alone — she’s married. But I guess you got to do what you got to do.” I said, “Yeah, I got to do what I got to do.” JACQUE: I sent you away. PETER: That was September 25, 1968. JACQUE: Thirty years after that, I left my husband. It wasn’t easy. My kids were grown, they had their college education, they had their families, but I was lonesome and miserable. PETER: I was sitting there one night, and the phone rang — matter of fact, it was September 25, 1998. JACQUE: That night, I had made up my mind: I am out of here. I’m so unhappy. And I sat there and I said, Nobody ever loved me but Peter. And that’s when I thought, I’m going to go find him. I asked the operator, “Do you have a T. P. Headen in Waldorf?” And she said, “No.” And I said, “Well, I’m really desperate to find this person. I know he’s in Charles County, Maryland, somewhere.” And she said, “I have a T. P. Headen in White Plains.” So I said, “Oh, my God, that’s
gate of that base. I got discharged, and I went home to Maryland. One night the phone rang — it was you. JACQUE: I came to visit my mom. And I was calling your mother to see where you were, and you answered the phone — I was shocked, needless to say. PETER: You said, “I want to show you something.” We went to your mother’s house, and here was this little baby. Your daughter was about three months old, and she had those same big green eyes. You went back to North Carolina, and I re-enlisted. That was 1964, and I said, “Send me overseas.” I didn’t want to be in North Carolina where you’re sitting outside the gate. So I left on August 12 for Vietnam. I came back to the States after 26 months and was stationed at Camp Pendleton, California. One day I was sitting in the barracks, and I decided, I’m going to write her a letter and tell her how I feel, because we were going back to Vietnam. JACQUE: You wrote, “I just have to get this off my chest — I love you. I’ve always loved you. I have to say it and get it over with, and I’m done.” In the meantime I’d had another child — a little boy. So there I was in an apartment with two little babies and just miserable, actually. I got married for all the wrong reasons. But I came from a divorced family, and I didn’t want my kids to have a broken home.
it! That’s him!” I started crying, and I said, “I have been trying to find this person for 30 years. He’s the love of my life.” And she said, “You want me to dial the number for you?” I said, “Yeah, you can dial the number.” She said, “Can I stay on the line?” I said, “I don’t care what you do!” PETER: And you said, “You know who this is?” I said, “Yeah, I know exactly who this is.” You said, “I bet you’re mad at me.” I said, “No. Matter of fact, I’m still in love with you.” JACQUE: I felt like I was 15 all over again. We decided we would meet in Memphis, and I picked you up at the airport. You jumped in the car and gave me a big old kiss. PETER: We got married in May, the 15th. I took you down to Key West and out on a three-masted schooner, and we married at sunset. There’s no address on our marriage certificate, just a longitude and a latitude. It’s worked out well. It’s just sad, the time we lost — you can’t get that back. We could have been together when we were 18, 19, you know? But I got you back. And you’re just as beautiful as you were when you were 15. JACQUE: That’s because you make me feel beautiful.

often encouraged to get—can be a step toward a successful career. Yet, nailing one can sometimes be downright difficult. These former and current interns tell us how they landed on their feet – and how you can, too.
lauren popp *VOGUE What would a young woman from a small mid-western town have in common with Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Angelina Jolie? Vogue magazine. Lauren Popp, a graphic design major at Andrews University, is currently interning in the fashion department of Vogue magazine. Popp, who works closely with the closet manager at Vogue to organize the fashion accessories for photo shoots, is responsible for picking up new pieces from designers and public relations companies, and displaying them to editors. She landed the internship by networking, first and foremost. “A friend of mine and former Glamor intern recommended me to her boss for my first magazine internship. That boss then in turn recommended me for my second internship at the same magazine where she had once interned.” Popp reiterates the most important aspect of finding an internship: “Keep your grades up, hold leadership positions, always do your best, and network, network, network!”
lauren blackwood *LOCKHEED MARTIN Lauren Blackwood shares the same piece of advice from her desk as a marketing coordinator at Lockheed Martin in New York City. “Nowadays, it seems that you can only get a job based on who you know.” The summer before her senior year, the Behavioral Science major had looked everywhere for an internship with little success. She mentioned her dilemma to a friend of the family and they introduced her to her current manager. Blackwood advises intern hopefuls to make a list of everyone they know who may have a connection to the company or field they are interested in and to apply early and thoroughly. “The competition for internships is just as competitive as the workforce so selling yourself with extra-curricular activities, good grades, and solid references really does make a difference.” Blackwood worked hard at the Lockheed Martin internship, establishing herself as a competent employee who could, as she said, “independently handle the demanding workload.” And, this performance landed her a fulltime job.
how to find one and make the most of it! WH Y A N I N T ERNSH I P ?
1
Hands-on education. Nothing compares to actually getting to put your education into practice. And from an employer’s perspective, who would you rather hire—a rookie you have to train or someone who knows the ropes?
2
Networking. The people you meet as an intern can help give you the connections you need to move forward.
3
Resume building. One sheet of paper can make or break you. Internships give resumes a professional edge (see question in #1).
4
References. Once you get your resume considered, the folks who have seen you work in your internships can clinch the deal for you.

Pursuit or elimination. Internships help you narrow in on your likes and dislikes with a safety-net termination date. It’s better to be exposed to a job you don’t like as an intern and be free to leave after ten weeks than to take the job out of college and either awkwardly have to resign, or worse, stick it out.
T IPS FROM A PRO Fifteen. That’s the number of internships Lauren Berger completed at places like MTV, FOX, and NBC while she was in college. After trying to advise some of her friends and recalling her own cluelessness as a freshman, Berger, true to form, got proactive. She is now the CEO of Intern Queen, Inc., an online internship listing source and has written a step-by-step book to guide students in landing internships. These are her five reasons for getting an internship and a few of the steps to land it.
H OW T O GET O N E DREAM
What’s your dream job? If income, family, time and so on weren’t issues, what would you love doing with your time?
LIST
Start finding companies that do things related to those dream jobs. Websites like www.internqueen.com or www.indeed.com may be useful. Read up about a company before initiating contact. Organize your list into a chart.
CLEAN Trim idle time and chunk obligations (put your classes on the same days or in consecutive timeslots to leave gaps for internships/work). LOOK
Look good on paper. Focus on your education, extracurriculars, or other talents. The school writing center or online resources can help you polish up a professional resume and cover letter.
WALK Walk the walk, talk the talk. Dress the part. Look sharp. Do your research about the company. Imagine potential questions and think of answers in advance. Be prepared. GET
Get weasly. Not all companies list internships. Call to ask. And when your internship is coming to an end ask for “advice” on how they got where they are and what you should do next. Be respectful, but be aggressive. Ambition and passion will get you far.
GEORGE t he
Great dane DAVE NASSER
“The first time we saw George, our beloved Great Dane, he was no more than a tiny, cowering ball of fuzzy fur.” As my wife Christie opened the door of the crate he’d travelled in, he teetered to a standing position and looked out at us, moving his head slowly from side to side, taking in the wonder of it all. Finally, as if weighing us up and deciding we were acceptable, he tentatively pushed his little nose forward and gave Christie her first lick. Though it didn’t really register, George’s paws were comically large even then. But all we saw was this cute puppy. We certainly never dreamed he would one day become the biggest dog in the world, standing nearly 4ft high at the shoulder, 7ft long and weighing nearly 18 stone. Right now, he just looked bewildered. He came into our lives in January 2006, just a few months after we had married and set up home in Arizona. We both had busy jobs, Christie selling medical equipment while I was a property developer, but she had always planned that, once she had a house of her own, she would also have a dog. She wanted a Great Dane as they make great family pets, so we tracked down a litter of 13, born 1,000 miles away in Oregon. Their owner emailed us a photo showing a chaotic jumble of paws, snouts and tails. Twelve were entangled with one another, but our eyes were drawn to one pup standing apart from the rest. He was clearly the runt, endearing him to Christie immediately. George made the long journey from Oregon to Phoenix by plane and we picked him up from the freight area, tired but unshaken. As soon as George settled into our home, we discovered our plans to be fair but firm parents were wishful thinking. All the things that make Great Danes wonderful pets — their lack of aggression and their attachment to humans
