Internship Journal Entry 1

Today is my first day of training at the Faculty Commons internship!

My first task was to recreate a poster and a banner exactly now it was given to us. I thought the poster will have all the right information and free of typos since it was all ready finished and published, but apparently not, it was tampered with to see if the trainees will be able to catch it. I caught some of the typos but did not notice that the link to a website that was given to us was not correct. Now I know to check the spelling and links to see if they work no matter what format the text or information was given to me.

The second project was to redesign a poster of our choice from the faculty common wall. I chose the Earth Day poster. The problems that came up at the start of this project was getting some sketches in a very short limit of time. Other wise, to day was a pretty good start of first day of training.

This is my first opportunity to work in a design team outside of the classroom, I don’t know what to expect. Most of the tasks is very similar to the tasks I did in class. I think these tasks are very effective to test the knowledge of the design interns of their skills on the software and as well as their design style and concept development. The challenge I faced today is finding the correct font for the replica, but I did the best I can to match up the exact typography, need a lot of attention to detail. Everyone here are very friendly and it made the training very fun, but still professional. I’m looking forward to the rest of the training.
