This was quite an experience and very thankful I could have participated.

This is my Presentation Ore Jeffrey_Internship presentation

 

This week we as interns have been presented an opportunity to make front page for a holiday issue for the organization. This is exciting because it offers alittle competition which I don’t think is bad. There has been quite alot of team oriented projects so this is refreshing and gives boost in motivation. So i hope I have the skills to be chosen which is something every designer hopes for.

 

So after recently having issues i jave regained proper connection with the organization so this week I am back into swing of things or back on the the saddle some may say. I felt motivated to put out extra work because of the hiccups and proud to say that I could recover.

Its Interesting the creativity you could produce using a organization branding. It reminds me of the quote which says “the most creativity comes from constraint.” I feel things I have created are some my best work yet.

 

So I finally managed to gain access to Microsoft teams. It was a pain staking road it was too many emotions and too many thoughts. I was about to give up hope on reconnecting with the organization but side of relief brightens up the shadows that were looming. I feel like a peot now. Excited to catch up on some projects that I may have missed during my stint of series of unfortunate events. So here’s to some progress.

 

This week the transition is still bothersome. Annoying thought is that I. The back of your mind you know that it’s likely something small that’s causing all these problems. As the quote goes usually its the most logical thing is the reason for your problems. I mean thats not necessarily how it is said but thats the over point of it.  Hopefully soon I will be able to chat with organization in its entirety without too many personal emails.

As the internships turns! Pun on the soap opera as the world turns if you didn’t get it. This week progression wasn’t the best, it mostly comprised of major changing from Google to Microsoft teams work space which theoretically should have been easy but fate played different cards. Thankfully management was really accommodating helpful with inquiries and show great patience. I feel like I am in great hands at this organization

This week was interesting. Upon receiving new assignment, the organization decided to change their source of communication form Google to Microsoft. It was bit confusing, due to getting use to a different layout, regardless its just a small set back. The new assignment is exciting where I get to create t-shirts. I love T-shirt’s, best thing since slice bread. Hopefully i can make some cool.

Did I mention this internship is was 100% remote from the start. Remote is very different beast. Mostly I feel sense of disconnect. It affects the way I engage and understand things. If i were going to a physical location, my mind transition to a different mind set. Ultimately affects my focus then motivation. So to compensate, I made an area designated to working whether it be school or internship. This has mostly help with focusing and being intentional with projects etc. Though face to face interactions is harder bridge to cross. But do the this project has made re-familiarize  myself with Indesign which is good.

Week 3 and everything Is going well. It all coming boiling down to being efficient with time management due to the numerous other obligations of classes and working. But it’s “the grind” they say. Hopefully be done with them is first assignment soon. I must say it really flexing my creative juices to make designs that eye catching.

This week I going full steam ahead on the magazine. I have been in correspondence with Market and communication director asking questions about any specific requirements and elements to implement or elements to remove. It has really opened my mind to Indesign capabilities. A lot of stuff I really under utilized in the program.
