My three biggest takeaways ‘so far’ on my internship

1. I learned how to keep everything organized.
   1. Now for my college work, I have to stay pretty organized or I’ll start seeing the stars of having one too many deadlines and exams coming up; however, since this internship is my first job, without any drawbacks, I have to come to terms to working on someone else time schedule and organization system that I don’t fully understand yet. This was not a difficult adaptation but it did take a bit of time.
2. I learned how meet a tight deadline
   1. Learning deadlines within a work-space have been difficult, since I don’t want to disappoint my client and want to showcase my best work, unlike my normal college course schedules that get spiderwebs in them, as I try to mange what others my age have already been able to achieve. I have no balance in this area and I’m working on getting balanced in college and in my internship going on at the same time.
3. I learned how to keep to a style guide and how to make sure that I was within the rules.
   1. Having guidelines I must fallow is not particularly my favorite and it definitely ruins creativity sometimes. Learning how to find a balance between the style I have to work in and the style I would like to work in is not nearly easy since some of my ideas can’t be converted. I have to double-check that my designs are 100% usable for my client which is what we both want.

Now I’m supposed to write what I’ve taught my client. Well honestly not much, since I am just a college student and they’ve had an intern before I don’t know what I can teach them. I would say patients and to know to have my work double-checked, but I’m going to assume they knew that from last time. Instead, my dear readers, I’m going to say what I’ve done for them so far.

4. Made a Postcard
   1. This took a while to get down since I’m not of the variety of person who knows what mail is or looks like, and since I have not done a print job before learning how to use bleeds for it was difficult.
5. A web logo
   1. I made a web logo for them to go on a site having to make it for several different file types.
6. Made Facebook stuff
   1. I have no understanding of Facebook, I feel like the stereotypical old person when on it and I think I might have to ask my parents how to navigate that site since I’m only used to blogging and Instagram apparently and with everything else, I’m like an old lady in her 90’s putting on my reading glasses and trying to figure out if Harold has sold his gingersnaps yet.
