It’s almost over. My last project will be creating an inviting design for families with children with special needs.

It’s really been a great ride. I’m about to hit my 100 hours and I’m so excited but it’s bittersweet. These people have been nothing other than nice to me and I really appreciate that they’ve taken the time to mentor me all the while giving me design freedom.

I’ve learned so many things about advertisement and opinions. Some people like a certain look while others don’t. I’ve felt what it feels like to work on your own in a real office while also working as a team and it’s been amazing. I hope what I’ve learned being in this internship will help me in the near future and career path.

Last time I spoke about the General Flier I was working on.

So I came up with these two designs.

 

Angelica liked the first two, while Geomara and Andrea like the first one more, they said it was so good that they only wanted me to update the text!

I’m finished with the November newsletter and the outcome was really nice. I liked the sleek, clean look that I came out with and so has my boss. The next project IFCC has wanted me to do is create a general flier that represents the company. They wanted me to use “business-like” colors all the while be welcoming and friendly.

Today, my boss also asked me to go to the print room and pick up some prints they sent to the printer. Turns out it was the fliers I made!!! I can’t believe I’ve actually gotten my work printed. And to top it all off it’s sent out to the mailing list of the company, which is about 995!

 

 

It’s been the usual lately. I get to the internship at 9 on both days and I get out by 2pm. I forgot to mention in the previous posts that I have my own desk. There are days when it’s fairly quiet and then there are days that we talk about our favorite shows(my boss loves Game of Thrones and the Walking Dead). One of the other women who works in my office is Margaret. She’s in charge of the Special Needs section of the organization. She basically organizes classes and registers people who are interested in being in those classes. Lately, she said that her section is always being pushed when she needs something advertised and has to use the basic template. This is the Flier I created advertising their upcoming events;

But she is really excited that I’m an in-house designer because this way they don’t have to wait on the Freelancer they usually hire.(I don’t know is this is a good thing or bad?)

I had to miss a day because it was New York Comic Con, so this week I’m making up the hours by just sitting on my desk and catching up with my supervisor on what projects I’ll be working on for the month of November. She explains to me that I’ll be in charge of redesigning a whole new newsletter for the Fall Series. And that they really want to incorporate playfulness and childplay. She usually gives me the final draft of the articles and it’s my job to design everything. My bosses are pretty straight forward, they don’t mind what I do as long as I use their own stock photos(which they take when they hold special events or classes) and that everything is aligned.

I also talked to Andrea who is one of my bosses and I realized that both of my bosses(Geomara and Andrea) are really into the well being of the human body. During this week I had a really bad cold and they offered hot tea, napkins and a lot of well wishes.
