During my internship, I didn’t receive a collaborative project. However, I did work on a project that required a lot of communication back and forth with one of my supervisors. The project was a lot of work and I have finished 120 hours already. Two weeks afterward I completed the project I was still making changes to the project. I was a little irritated because my senior project was due soon and I had a lot more deliverables I needed to do for my senior project. Furthermore, I was also working on my portfolio in portfolio class. If this was a paid internship I would have felt different, but this was an unpaid internship. I didn’t want to complain, so I told my supervisor I could only work on the post at night around 8 pm to like 11 pm. I had to prioritize my schoolwork first over my internship work since this was my last year before I graduate and I was finished with my hours. Good thing my supervisor was very understanding and she was fine with me working late at night on the project.

The project was an event that the Unity for Equality is supporting and the event was called the BOLLYWOOD XMAS DHAMAKA on Dec 21 at 9 am at this hookah bar/restaurant. Crystal the Global Branding Ambassador asked if I had time to do this project and I replied saying I did. I just didn’t foresee that there were going be so many changes and alterations to the post after I have completed the project already. Overall, I did think the post I created for them is a success because it was exactly what they wanted and I did exactly how they wanted. That doesn’t mean that I agreed with the design choice Crystal had me change. In my opinion, they were trying to put a lot of information into a single Instagram post which is only 1080 pixels by 1080 pixels. That is not a lot of space for the number of texts and images they wanted me to add to the Bollywood X Mas post.
