Monday

Things I kept in mind today: 

• EFFICIENCY
• Don’t fixate on tiny details

I helped out with storyboarding, which was a pretty cool process to look into as I’ve never done that type of work.

I continued fleshing out my concept for a campaign, due to the nature of the campaign, a lot of my work was based on the images I was sourcing, which I had great insights on critiques on factors that I had not considered: such as budget, brand guidelines, production restraints that would limit feasibility on certain things. 

I’ve been so used to the “the sky’s the limit” mindset in school, so it’s been very enlightening to adjust to real-life applications.

It was a very busy day trying to get work done in time, but very rewarding to discover that I’ve managed to pull out from my subconscious what we’ve learned for JLau’s photoshop class. 

Tuesday

I did not finish my deliverables in time for internal review!!!!!! Ahh!!!! !! 

I did receive very informed and experienced insights, however, and emerged out of the meeting more sure of exactly what it is I need to be designing. 

Other than working further on this same project, I had some time to do some cute content for P&G’s Instagram, as well as to finish up on other onboarding tasks. 

Wed 

I spent the day working on my campaigning concepts for client presentation, although still lagging behind my coworkers, I can feel myself working SLIGHTLY faster than I did last week.

THURS

I finished up revisions for the campaigning project, and had time to reorganize my files (which were previously kind of gross). It felt really nice to finish a project on time. 

For the next project, I’ll have to take a proactive approach in keeping them tidy in the first place.

I got to work on mobile screens for an event landing page that my partner had designed, which I enjoyed immensely because I got to do some UX ideation on how

• I could simplify the experience 
• Create a smooth flow in the journey

With consideration to dev constraints and my target audience (e.g., older age=bigger text for better legibility)

I also made sure to take note of my partners’ working file and process, which for the record, was a great process.  

FRI

Today was FANTASTIC.

I got to sit in a client presentation where I had made one concept for. The clients expressed that they liked my team member’s concept as well as mine, which was kind of crazy. 

And that was a wrap! For now. Now we sit back on this project to await client approval.
This project was a great first to start my practicum, and I’m looking forward to seeing it through to its completion.

I helped with presentation layouts today. Remembering how I used to be complete trash at layouts in year 1, it’s also been wild to think of how far I’ve come (not that I’m particularly great at layouts NOW, but just that I’ve improved a lot).

I also got to discuss P&G social media with the social media team

• I really enjoyed getting to hear the new social media and community manager’s insights, she sounded super well-read and definitely good at her job.

Finally week 2 came to a wonderful end with our weekly happy hour. 

This week’s happy hour was special! We all got ubereats coupons to enjoy during, and got to partake in Trivia Night!

This was my first time doing trivia party and it was pretty fun–My team got third place!! I’m glad to have been able to get to know my team members a lot more through this fun game, and was pleased to discover that they have a very expansive knowledge of geography that I certainly do not have.

This week has been very enjoyable and motivating (and a lot less hectic than the first week!), I’m excited to start the next one, applying my learnings from weeks 1 and 2.
