Practicum is coming to an end soon, about 1 and a half weeks left!! This week, I made final revisions to the tea website that I was working on last week. We presented it to the client on Wednesday and she really loved it! I also got placed onto two new projects. One of the projects (which I’m being put on solo!) is branding for a new mochi donut shop and the other is helping my creative director with concept directions for branding a neighbourhood in the Greater Vancouver region. There was a really tight time crunch that the neighbourhood branding one had to be done by, so I had to work after hours to try to finish it. It was pretty stressful, but I’m grateful that I had my coworker stay with me to work on it together and we eventually got it done! The mochi donut shop branding has been a super fun project to work on. Currently, I’m working on mood boards for two different concept directions, competitive analysis, and naming. For naming, I researched and asked some of my Japanese friends about cute sounding Japanese words that translated well into English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mochi donuts!! I haven’t tried them yet, but there’s a new shop that opened in Vancouver and it’s actually quite close to my home. I really want to go!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also, super exciting news \u2013 at the beginning of the week, Pivot & Pilot offered me a job as Junior Designer! I was so surprised and happy! Unfortunately, after giving it a lot of thought, I ended up not taking it just because I ultimately want to pursue UX\/UI and although I love branding, I feel like I want experience in an Interactive or UX\/UI focused company. I was (and still am) a bit nervous about my decision because I feel a bit underqualified for many of the UX\/UI roles that are posted, but we shall see how the job hunt goes!!! I’m also glad to take the rest of April off and have a proper break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom bought us some drinks from a new Robson store that has been super popular – Machi Machi. The drinks were pretty good!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll end this post with another cat update. This is Oliver, who loves to sit by my window when I open the curtains though. He’s literally classified as “obese” though, so he can’t even fit the whole window sill and has to prop half of himself on my bed LOL<\/p>\n\n\n\n
