Today I was assigned to design the back cover of the magazine, which is something very unusual from what I normally was assigned to do. Doing the back cover was not as easy as I thought. The supervisor requested what type of design and style she wanted. She said that she wanted vibrant and technology-related background. Of course, finding the right image for the background was not as easy as well. Almost every image that I tried to use, it has some conflicts with the texts. At first she said to only change the background image and leave the rest untouched. But slowly, she started to change her mind throughout the process. When I told her that the text layout does not work with the background image because it was all over the place, she finally said that I could do whatever I want as long certain texts are within each another like a group. I then left the background alone and worked on the text layout first instead because I just cannot stand it being unorganized. It caused me a lot of distractions and I get irritated easily. When I was finally done with the text layout, I continued to do the background design where I left off before. When I was finally done with the back cover design, the supervisor liked and approved of it. Then I took a lunch break and came back waiting for another assignment. Just when I thought everything was set, the supervisor wanted me to redesign the back cover again because she forgot to add some details in. My goodness, that was very nice of you.
