Yesterday was the official start to my internship and I’ve already begun working on two project that are related to design. On day one, I met with my supervisor via Google Meets where we discussed the brand, the brand’s story and mission, and went over the pitch deck. We also discussed the scope of the projects I will be working on over the summer and the brands needs going forward. The first project that I’m currently working on are brand assets/brand personality drawings that can be used thoughout pitch decks. I was able to start working on this project already and receive feedback on the current state of the project and what updates can be made. For this project, I was assigned to make pngs of elements that align with the brand using Adobe Suite.
On day two (today), my supervisor and I met in person at a local cafe to get more in-depth about the future projects and collaborations we’ll be working on together. During this meeting I was also assigned my second project which entails updating the brand’s Amazon Storefront page, and listing images for the CPGs. For this project, I will be working on updating the storefront banner, and creating updated imagery for the product listings. As well as working on creating “cute” nutrional layout images to post on the listings.
As part of our meeting today we also discussed scheduling, and set dates for initial project feedback as well as due dates on the projects. For now, I will be able to have a week at least to work on a project and touch base about revisions before getting down to the final. My supervisor and I discussed scheduling generally when it comes to the times I’ll be working and it is super flexible, which was really important to me coming into this internship as I’m not only a student, but a parent so this allows me to get work done in a timely manner and takes a majority of the stress off. We have already planned our next in-person meeting, and will continue to communicate via Slack, email, etc. in between.
