The first day I worked at the marketplace tech company, It felt as if I adapted to most tasks even though I struggled in some aspects. Over time, I’m able to produce large amounts of graphics for the company. They usually come to me for projects that require numerous versions, sizes, or formats. It can be hard to pick a particular project that best captures my performance. However, I have recently created some videos, images, and icons for my company’s Instagram. I had to produce 10 versions for each sports team. It consists of a signup walkthrough video via the client’s app. Moreover, I created a call-to-action image for them to share and an Icon that blends the colors of the sports team and the marketplace tech company logo.
When I first discussed the project with my supervisor, we quickly understood the tasks required. Most of our communications are over text but, sometimes, hop on video calls to elaborate the process. I try to keep a professional manner around him even though he seems relaxed at times. After I create the first rounds of prototypes, I share them with the design department. I try to utilize all the feedback is given to me also will participate in the critic. I try to visualize their ideas but not all of them are good ones. For example, they want a very detailed graphic in the video that takes half of the screen. It’s distracting as the video will be hard to keep track and fit everything within 15 seconds.
The team tries to be honest and emphatic of each other skills and limits. Instead of wasting hours trying to do the impossible, I look at solutions to make it seamless to share and post with our audience. The design has to be consistent as possible as the logo in the video is the same as their apps or the logo color scheme must match their team jerseys. Even though the design elements seem small, they can become a disorganized mess as we receive more clients. My supervisor is more in sync with my workflow and the time it takes to accomplish the projects. As I delivered the project earlier than expected, I saw exponentially less backtracking, instructions, and miscommunications overall.
