post 9 week 11 (final post)

The last meeting I had with Jean (CEO) and Jaxi (director of programing) was mostly about how I how think my time was during the internship. Also I done an assignment which is call photo comments; although I was not given this assignment, I decided to  take a chance on it after Kinrick sent those files to everyone on the team, and I said to myself "I can do this assignment better". Jean and Jaxi seem please and one last thing they me was there might be work for me Kinrick in may when the site is publish.

The things I learn last week was:

Chance

Sacrifice

Trust your gut

Along with the things I learn overall:

speed

time management

being critic

team work

trust

Post 8, week 10

Its been one long week since I had an assignment from my internship. This week I kept myself busy by working on my website. Early this week I receive an email my partner kinrick of an assignment I was not aware of and it involve:

Comment Photo

Chat function

Profile Status/Edit

Edit Information

I wonder why I didn't receive any calls or email, but all I know is he only call Kinrick for those assignment. I couldn't just let Kinrick take all the fun, so I decide to work on some of the files, and hand them in on the meeting or through email.

Handing in the assignment last week to Jean (internship supervisor) who seem to be please.This proves that me and Kinrick work together as a team than working on our own. The following assignments we both have to work:

Message layout

Contact layout

Teeckle/Feather layout

As we were working together, we learn how to work a bit faster, and to think a bit faster. We both also improve on a little bit of time management and communication. Not sure why we both think of this sooner, better late than later I guess.

On 02/25/13, we had a meeting about the group layout page.The bad news is I did the wrong while kinrick hand in the right assignment. The good news is the design layout I did is base on a page after group page call group info, so I was lucky about the screw up.The task for the next deadline:

Clean the group info design layout

Match the group info layout to Kinrick

Design Create a Group layout

Fix the grey icon png file

I arrange a meeting to work with Kinrick and also ask him is why he is not contacting me. After he told his side of the story, I started to realize he forgot a few stuff and I remind him what he had was suppose to do. In the mean time we were working together, we both exchange a few tips and design parts for the next assignment.

After an unexpected message/e-mail, we ended again because they wanted (CEO and Program director) us to work a bit quicker we show them the profile page in person with our laptops. Since me and my partner Kinrick had to make a few adjustment  with both redesign and new design that involves the profile page:

Fix the light blue color

Fix the book icon/button on the first try

Design the magnify glass (Already completed before, so I send the file)

Design photo edit options

Layout for photo page ( separate or part of the profile file )

Group layout with photos, info and options ( due on our upcoming meeting)

One thing I am noticing is my partner Kinrick doesn't contact me unless I contact him first, also we need to do the group layout as a team.

post 4 wk6

After meeting with my internship supervisor (CEO), programer director, and my graphic design partner Kinrick; we discuss about the final version of the first/home page and then we move on to discuss what we both should work on the profile page.

From there, I started to write down notes on what to work (design)

6 buttons/ 3 color and 3 black and white

3 pages layout

2 fonts (2 max)

2 colors (shades of color, mostly blue)

create group layout

photo with edit button

info

After learning a few of my mistakes, I manage to design the profile layout on what they ask rather than what I think, so I research which save me time.

post 3 week 5

After completing the first assignment, I have to wait for the next assignment, but I should still think about how I should approach a social site. In the meantime, I have to wait for a call from my internship supervisor for a meeting with other graphic designer. Till then I will keep myself busy with a social site approach and think about how to step up my level, since now I know there are other graphic designers.

post2 wk4

A set back has me going back to my root and think about on how to approach it. I remember a few techniques from four class color theory, concept design, graphic identity, and market design. Before research, the setup help narrow down to a best choice for  social design.

The meaning of the word

 mind map

mood of the color

list of words related to the word

internship blog 1(wk3)

For the first assignment, I must create 4 concepts for a web first page and make it look appealing.

List of things I needed for reseach

look up other social sites

study each layout design I visit on the site

Stick to only two color scheme with different shades.

Also I was given mini assignments to design given to me by my peers so they use it for web code.

One last comment is my intern supervisor was straight forward on what he wanted, which gives me bit more freedom on time and design.
