The final blog post. This week was officially the last week of my practicum and the start of my internship here at Rethink! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll start by finally showing more work I can share. Periods for Period is the world’s first all-period font, advocating for free period products in schools. The initiative was led by IDEA Alumni Ashley Visvanathan and was carried out by the amazing Rethink team. I was able to contribute by creating a period for the typeface! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workload this week felt perfectly balanced. There was enough work to keep me focused and hustling but enough time to enjoy the process and remain calm. I had an amazing week, spending a good chunk of my working time outside on my deck! I think I’ll be working from here a lot during the summer. The energy I get from being outside definitely out powers energy from any caffeinated drink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new copywriting intern joined Rethink this week; her name is Helen, and she actually graduated from Capilano’s communication program! It’s nice to have someone around my age who I can candidly talk to, and we actually got assigned on an A&W project together, so it’s been a fun experience collaborating with a copywriter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started adding cinnamon and using brown sugar to sweeten my iced lattes, which have been a big game changer! It’s my dupe to Starbucks’ shaken brown sugar espresso with oat milk.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

FINAL PRACTICUM REFLECTION<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My practicum experience at Rethink exceeded my expectations! I loved how they gave a good mix in terms of tasks. I was assigned projects where I could brainstorm and push the concept out myself under the guidance of Creative Directors. I often assisted art directors in carrying out their visual direction into the tasks I was assigned to. This was one of the biggest hard skills I learned at Rethink. Sometimes it was hard sourcing images or sketching illustrations for the Art Directors because they usually had a clear vision of what it should be set in their minds, and I couldn’t always hit that mark the first time. I learned that it’s best to ask many questions upfront to fully grasp what they’re looking for and share lots of progress work to make sure I don’t end up doing extra work than needed. I’m still learning and have a long way to go, but I definitely feel like I’ve learned so much just within this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a slightly anti-climactic end to my university life! Nonetheless, I had an amazing practicum experience at Rethink, and I’m excited to keep learning and absorbing as much as I can during my extended time here. I hope that the idea 21 class will meet up soon once vaccinations roll out and the pandemic chills out, but I guess this is the end for now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
