My Final Presentation Sashalee Harrison

The client’s guide to design, and Use of illustrations, and Guide to copyright were great reading. There was a lot of great reading there that was very useful for someone. Both designers and clients can benefit from this especially the client’s guide to design. The is about how to approach a designer and how to get information from the firm. Copyrighting I understand a little bit they are saying that there are somethings that you can copyright but some you cannot.

For me, the use of illustrations was my favorite one because they had very good information that I can use when I need it. The author talks about how you can’t ask for an original illustration without paying for the artist which I think is fair because they don’t have to give it to you. Just like if you go anywhere and you see something that you like you have to spend money on so why should this be any different. They go on to talk about you shouldn’t ask an artist to copy someone’s work because that’s stealing and it’s illegal. Which again I agree because that person art that you are copying spends time and money doing the work for you to just copy it like why can’t you come up with something new. Me being the artist that I am who understand the hard work that comes with creating illustrations sometimes the creation doesn’t just come over time like sometimes it takes very long so for someone to just copy what I did isn’t fair at all. Reading these articles really gave me an eye-opening to the business world in design.

So it coming down to the wire and I have finished my layout for the magazine. I had to stay up all night while having to do my other work so that I could finish before the semester ends. Finishing this magazine means a lot to me because there were a few times where I would be like I’m over this and I can’t do it because there is a lot to do and I was losing my motivation and I was like this isn’t something that I can see myself doing for the rest of my life but you know what I did it anyway and she liked it, but it doesn’t stop there she gave me notes about what I should fix and what she like so I will be fixing those and then getting it to her.

It’s a couple of weeks in and we have to attend another network meeting. This time I choose an intern queen event with Variety magazine.  Variety is one of the biggest global entertainment trade publications that focuses on tv, film and digital entertainment, but they have  partnered with Intern Queen + Career Queen to bring to you career entertainment which of course will be a virtual panel event featuring top industry execs who will share unique perspectives and insights on how to get hired and make the most of employment opportunities in the current climate. This free event is on December 7^th and will feature Variety’s own, Shali Dore (Features News Editor) and Meg Zukin (Social Media Editor). Arturo Barquet (Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Global Production Operations) at Universal Pictures Group will also join the panel. The discussion will be moderated by Intern Queen + Career Queen Founder and CEO, Lauren Berger.

They  invited current high school and college studentsto attend this event along with recent grads who may be looking for inspiration and career information during this time. The conversation included  topics ranging from general entertainment industry internship and career advice to specific tactics on putting together resumes, excelling at zoom interviews, nailing the pitch, and taking advantage of virtual networking opportunities.

For the zoom call she wanted us to turn on the video camera so she doesn’t feel like she not talking to any one. It was a great experience and i have connected with a lot of people through linkedin from all over the united states so that was a great experience. I also learned some wonderful stuff about going on the interview and how to connect to people now that we can’t go outside so a lot of people are using social medias to see if anyone is hiring or trying to get an intern.

We had to do to app review on different apps so the second app that I’m going to use is YouTube because I’m always on this app watching videos about different things.

Youtube is an app that you will be able to watch your favorite videos easier. You are able to explore brand new content, music, news, and more. If you don’t use a lot of apps this is one of those apps that you should use. For me, I use YouTube to watch people blog about their life and I use you to watch music videos, so tutorials about things that I don’t know how to do. When I want to watch something the first thing I do is check youtube to see if there is something to watch.

I’m one of those people who need to listen to music to do my homework so use I use youtube to do that. Right now on youtube, the most things I watch are moving vlogs because I just love watching people move into their apartment and it decorate it because I want to do that one day so it gives me ideas on what to do when the time comes.

My little nephew who is one year old even uses youtube to watch his listen and watch is shows that are on youtube. A couple of days ago youtube wasn’t working and everyone online was talking about how it wasn’t working so you could see that a lot of people use it.

 

 

For internship class 10 we are supposed to review an app, so I chose to procreate because I live on this app. Procreate is a creative application made for iPad’s but they do have the phone version but I only use it on my iPad.

It’s packed with hundreds of beautifully crafted brushes, over 100 customizable settings for every brush, you can import and export stuff, it has a time-lapse replay, Dramatic finishing effects, different types of the design set. You are also able to download other brushes for free off the procreate site or buy new ones. I download this app so that I would be able to draw digitally on my iPad, It makes my work looks more professional than before and I love that. I am able to edit my work very easily. There is a lot of demos on how to use the app. Also, the price for the app is really cheap ($10) while other apps cause more. If you get a new iPad, it’s effortless to transfer your work from one iPad to the new one.

The people who made the app are always updating the app and making it better for you. I feel like anyone could use this app because it has stuff for graphic designers, animation, fashion illustrations, and etc. This is the only app that I use for my drawings. I love the color range that it has on there plus you could add other colors that you want and it’s not hard to do. I use it for school if I’m working on a project and i use it for my personal use.

 

 

On Wednesday, Our internship class attended a virtual field trip to the Blue Museum. Which is in the Nassau County Museum of art. We were asked to pick one artwork that we liked the most and the one that I loved the most out of all of them would be the ” Buste de Femme” by Picasso.  Picasso is known for his realism and cubist painting, but when I saw this painting with wasn’t showing any of that.

Pablo Picasso was going through a blue face and when that was happening he created this painting. He used different shades of blue to tell how he was feeling and loved that. You could see that she didn’t happen just by looking at her face. I loved how he came out of comfort and did something different and real. How he used the different tones of blue to set the mood of what she was feeling.  The brush strokes on the face are finer and more considered. This painting is well detailed and it’s one of those painting that you would want to stop and see.

It also most coming to an end for this internship and I’m still working on the layout. It’s like there is so much information that I think that I would still be working on the magazine layout even when this class ends. Plus with this and the other school projects that I have to be doing it’s like I don’t know when I find time to get my work done. But it’s all about time management. I seem to be doing a great job at doing that.

here is a sample of what I have been doing so far, it looks like it’s nothing but it’s a lot because every day I wake up early and do the layout and finish very late and my computer is filled with a lot of pictures. I soon have no place to put all these pictures by the time I’m finished.

For this week we had to go to a webinar so I chose an apple event that was being hosted on youtube this year. The event started at 1:00 pm the hostname is Tim cook. He started off by talking about the first product with is meant for the home and since we are in the house a lot more than this would be a great product for you. The product is homepod mini, he said that they create this product so it would be easy to use. you will have full range no matter where you are in the house. Also, it has a custom acoustic waveguide for a 360 sound field. They come in two colors the white and black.

The second product he introduces is the iPhone 12 mini. This comes in red, blue, green, white, and red. Tim said that this is the phone’s smallest phone. it has a ceramic shield front and glass back and an aluminum design. Also that it has a super retina XDR display and it has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle.

The last product he talked about was the iPhone 12 pro max. It comes in graphite(black), silver, gold, pacific blue which is a new color this year. it said that this was the biggest and most expensive phone Apple has ever had. These phones come with 5g.  They had to partner with Verizon to get the 5g. I think that the 5g would be good for us because it would make the phone faster.

For the internship class, we had to go to our first virtual network meeting. For this, i went to a brand identity virtual network meeting because I felt I would be able to get the most learning out of that than any other network meeting that was there. The professor gave us a list and I chose this one.

The meeting was host by the freelancer’s hub which is basically a place that you would be able to build a name for yourself as a freelancer and they tell you how to make yourself a brand. The meeting started at 1:00 pm and they send out a zoom link so that you will be able to get on. The person that worked in freelancer’s hub name was Jalen and he started off by introducing the cost host who was named Ana Jahannes, and she told her a little bit about herself. She owns a company called vibe is bright. She then asked us questions about ourselves and where we are from. when I was liking in the chat I saw that someone who goes to this school was there too.

She started by talking about what brand identity is and that it’s much more than what we think it is. She asks us to pick one word that definite us as a person or if you have your own company. I don’t remember the word that I chose but if I could choose it would be creative because I want to make beautiful art.

From what i took away from this networking is that you should want to stand for something and that your brand identity is much more than what you think it is. Also, colors play a lot in what you stand for as a person and company.
