Journal 6

Since I’ve been working at this internship I’ve met one client named Sal. Sal sells products that are designed by Ron.  He is really picky with what he wants as far as designs. Sometimes or most of the time, he comes to sit in the shop with us and watches us design. I don’t know how many agencies allow their clients to come watch them work. I become really nervous when he comes in because he is always yelling and saying “I want it like this” or “move this over, okay perfect”. This has made me realize that there are clients like him. Ones who are so particular with what they want. I don’t think I would have any of my clients sit and watch me design. If I feel nervous now, I maybe nervous when I start my design agency.  I know Ron will be able to help me with pursuing that. Another person I’ve met is Ron’s marketer Jimmy. Jimmy  has taught me some marketing skills as far as networking your brand. This is very helpful because I have to learn to get out of my comfort zone. Usually I’m quiet and ask my brother to promote me. Jimmy told me there’s no better promoter than yourself. I do things differently now. If I design something, I promote it myself then ask everyone else to promote it. Jimmy is a great marketer and I am glad I had the pleasure of meeting him.
