Designers Assemble! – Week #8

As stated in last week’s update, Mr. Lee and his assistants chose Luis’s banner design for the comedy zoom event. They didn’t choose my design. I’m ok with their choice, as his design was very good and really set the tone for the special event. I took this as a learning experience and to see what works and doesn’t work in terms of banner designs. Work-wise, this week we weren’t assigned any new projects to do. This is a pet peeve of mine, as I feel like if I’m not constantly doing work, then I feel behind. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt however, as they’re constantly trying to put together events that generate revenue for nonprofits. Another observation I made was even in the weekly meetings any and all design talk is very brief, as everything else needs to be addressed first, such as garnering more traffic to their website in order to generate funds to help out nonprofits. With all that talk on how Giving Forward is trying to help as much as they can, there was time for us to do some design talk. This week, Mr. Lee and his assistants introduced another member to the design team. A gentleman by the name of Michael Dwyer. Michael has a great amount of experience in the design field, so i’m relieved he has joined us. Mr. Lee and his assistants decided to do this because they wanted to add more experience to our design team. I think this is going to be a great learning experience for all of us, especially me. I have no doubt we will learn a great deal of expert knowledge with Michael on board. I look forward to the next assignments being given to us.
