Fifth Day of Training

All of us are focusing on the group project today. After we decided the logo, fonts, color scheme, and each person’s tasks on the first day. I was thinking the second day would be smooth. But as we were doing our own tasks different questions and concerns emerged. We actually had lots of discussions today probably we were not talking straight to the point. Because everyone has their own aesthetic and we don’t want to ruin the efforts everyone put on their works. But I know it’s a group project we need to work together and keep the style consistent. I still think we need to communicate more, be strict and responsible for each other’s work.

Day 3 of Training

We finally wrapped up the City Tech Writer project today. Through this project I am more aware of the hierachy of laying out contents. When I am doing my school project I’m focus on the visual elements more than contents.

Lu and Anmol helped us out with the file naming in the morning. Because all of us had made mistake on that part. We also had a brief discussion about the next project about information design. We shared each other’s topic and the trainers proved them. I spent the whole morning to do the research on the UX design process and think about what style I want to go with this project.

After lunch break We did final touch of the City Tech Writer project. Then Lu and Anmol introduced us the last group project we will work on next week. Compare to school project we have a long period to work on one project. But at work we have to manage multiple projects at the same time at short period of time. It’s a challenge for me but I will get used to it.

Change the form (e.g.: portrait to landscape) have to tell the client.

The middle part of the file name should be the full time (e.g.: No CTW, use CityTechWriter)

Stay in touch with my client if I change anything.

 

What do you want to learn?

Draw the background that with the water color blush effect.

 

How was it working in group?

More people, I could get more reviews to help me to improve the project. It is good.

 

Did you get to know your partner?

They good at the color matching, which means they could find the set of color that fits to their project quickly.

Day 2 of Training

We have continued the City Tech Writer project today. In the morning we did the critic first each of us have to present our digital draft and critic each others work. Then based on the suggestions the trainers gave us, we could change our draft accordingly. I was not sure about how big the font size will work well at first. The trainers have provided me a lot of samples to use as references. Finally under the trainers guidance I figured them out. Right now my posters are looking much better than I just came in to the office this morning.
