In the office it’s not like you learn a lot of new techniques design but you learn more about working with another person. I always work with my supervisor her name is Alyssa shes very committed to what she does but what ever work is assigned always goes through her. I’ve been working on an assignment gathering things for the classroom charity site they’ve been working on but a lot of it is stock photo and needs to be approved before being excepted which can be very difficult depending on the topic at hand. other projects would include designing logos and other projects but again your mostly working with the supervisor for graphic design and shes mostly explaining to you what type of style it needs to look like.
One thing that I did learn that was new to me was a new style of quick designs using spreadsheet data and text documents. Discovering how to make everything connect with the data documents was oddly simple once you do it but weird to figure it out. Data merge can work on two different adobe programs indesign and photoshop although they both add a variety of tools to make things easier but at the same restrict a lot of freedom and easy. Photoshop data merge allows the make to create a design and easily swap out names and color edits and images but one of it’s biggest problems is that adding perspective and transforming an image doesn’t carry over to other images transferred into the documents through data merge and attaching the design to a a spreadsheet is also pretty annoying . Indesign makes important data easy compared to photoshop but it’s biggest fault is that images can’t be edited because of the lack of in depth image editing tool. Both are good in there own way but it seems at best mostly simple designs are what can be done with data merge.
