Journal #5

Working at Brooklyn navy yard sometime can be challenging. I was recently assigned to design a slideshow/video to celebrate the 265th birthday of the navy yard. It was a little confusing and complicated task for me because there was not enough direction or information for me to work with. I was told to ‘be creative’ when this assignment landed on my lap and I never got enough creative feedback from my peers or superiors on this project and whenever I needed to speak to someone to make the project better there were not many colleagues that had time to spend on this project. So I’ve completed that project without much guidance and my supervisor ended up throwing the whole thing away and re-do the project on her own without even giving me any feedback on what I’ve done or told me why it was being rejected. That made me feel frustrated and upset but that’s part of the process and I’m learning how to deal with that.
