Work, Work, Work – #12

This is the Week 12 update. I have done my first draft of the banners for the Payton may interviews. I kept in constant communication with my supervisors via slack and zoom. We meet and discuss the approaches needed for the banner designs. I was given copy to include in the banners. The purpose of this copy was to entice any potential viewers into clicking the ad banners to send them to Goodbuzz.com. These ads are going to be displayed on social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Doing this generates ad revenue, and this enables Giving Forward the ability to donate 50% of the proceeds to nonprofits. I was also given examples of appropriate sizes needed for the various banners I need to make. Kevin, Oscar, Michael and I had discussions on how to approach the development of these banners. It was best to keep things clean and simple this time around. I learn from my previous assignments that less is definitely more. So I kept that in mind when making the banners. A clear and clean visible text was important as well. My experience so far at this internship has been favorable. One thing that has been on my mind is the idea of not getting enough work to do. I somehow feel like I’m behind my other classmates and thus am getting anxious due to the need for more work. It’s ok though, because the work I’m getting needs to be as well done as possible, and that focus is good enough. I sent Oscar my first draft files of the Payton May banners, he liked them, their structure, and the copy I used. Some adjustments needed to be made. I have them included here. The original typeface I used wasn’t very legible so I decided to use a different one. I sent Oscar my updated files and I’m now waiting for feedback. Aside from feeling like I don’t get enough work to do, this internship has been a positive experience. I have learned a lot from Oscar and Michael, and Kevin has been a great supervisor as well. I wait for next week to see what else needs to be done. I wait with excitement for what’s to come.
