Adjustments and more Adjustments – Week 11

Week 11 has come and gone. I have since completed 90 hours in my internship. I know that after 100 hours are completed, we must send our evaluation sheet to our supervisors. I plan on doing this next week, when I for sure have accumulated more than 100 hours. So far, it’s been a great experience. Working with Giving Forward has been very beneficial to me. It was very unstructured in the beginning, but later in the semester it got more balanced as we were given more work to do. Also, the weekly meetings we attended gave us much needed support. So far, I’ve met with Kevin, Oscar, Michael and others on a weekly basis. Sometimes we even meet twice a week to further discuss design approaches. This week, I got feedback on my header designs. Oscar and Michael liked my designs, but adjustments needed to be made. We decided to flip the design over, meaning the copy, which was originally on the right, now had to go on the left. The image of Payton May had to go from the left to the right as well. They also wanted to go forward with the black and white image, as it worked best with the type of design they wanted. I then showed them the updates. They liked them and decided to use the updates on Goodbuzz. I made different versions of the headers but they decided to use this one. This was a relief to say the least. It was a simple design but it took a couple of weeks to get the look just right, and up to their standards. That task is done. I now have to work on the next task, which is creating the banners for the Payton May interviews for GoodBuzz. I look forward to that assignment. We move on upward and onward.
