Andrew "AJ" Weydt
AJ Weydt: Bruno Press
During this past summer, AJ completed an internship opportunity at Bruno Press in St. Joseph, MN. Bruno Press is a small business operated by Mary Bruno where she designs and prints her own line of cards. In addition, she does commission work such as wedding or graduation invitations, event posters, and post cards.
Throughout his experience, AJ has had a variety of opportunities come his way. He worked alongside of Mary in the creation and printing of the Millstream Art Festival posters and post cards used to advertise the festival. Also, he had the opportunity to create graduation invitations and thank you letters along with posters and business cards for Richard Bohannon who is running for state house.
According to AJ, his most rewarding experience was attending the Lunalux Lock-in with Mary. Lunalux is an artist collaboration lock-in where artists are able to create poster ideas and combine them in a jar to share with others for inspiration. Each artist has a time slot where they select an idea from the jar and print a poster in their allotted time slot. AJ and Mary's posters were an absolute hit.
While interning at Bruno Press AJ was able to take away many aspects. He acquired advanced techniques on how to design and print. He also learned how Mary operates her business and how she designs her products to fit a commercial market. While attending the Lunalux event, AJ was able to experience how Mary interacted and networked with other artists to build her business as well as theirs.
