Journal #5

This week I started to be on sight on my internship. I have started to deal with customers lightly not as much as I will later on. While Jaime Colon was working on certain projects I had to sit customers down and tell them Jaime will sit with them soon. While on sight I was given a project on photoshop. I had to help Jaime create a menu for a restaurant from scratch. Jaime had already started the project but I had to condense the menu to make it five pages instead of seven.  Its easy but very time consuming. I was only able to create three pages and had to condense three more pages. I was on sight for eight hours so you can imagine how much time was needed for this project.I had to take several lunch breaks in order to stay focused on my project.

I have learned how companies create t shirts. There is a machine that outlines designs on the material that is put on the t shirt. After the outline is made you have to take a blade and remove the pieces of the design that dont belong. When your design is ready you place the shirt on a heat press, then place your design where you want it on the shirt. The shirt is in place and now you set the heat press for 5 seconds. The shirt is done in five seconds but takes around twenty minutes to make one shirt. Its very time consuming but pays in the end of the process.
