This week was very nice and smooth. Since my check-in meeting, I started looking at some Skill-Share videos and realized how helpful this resource is and would definitely recommend using it. I plan on watching a lot more videos to learn and build some more skills in my tool kit. This week I got feedback from the key account buyers on a specific doormat design I was working on. They must have liked it but wanted some modifications made. The project actually got passed along to another designer to finish it off and do the final touches. But I am excited to see the final artwork and if it gets printed on a doormat in the future.
I continued working on packaging updates for various templates, organizing information, and styling it with certain fonts and icons. I am working on my last surface design project for a Danica Ecologie Swedish Sponge Cloth. This design is very typographic and playful so I can have a lot of fun with it. Mid-week I was working on some trend research and Pinterest pinning for fall 2022 and was a part of some meetings to discuss trends that are happening and what the future looks like design, colours, patterns, and more. I finished off my week by finishing off packaging templates and did a Mothers day banner ad for Danica’s online website.
Everyone at work is very busy and looking to hire more people to expand the Danica team in many areas. I am working on chipping away and finishing projects since the practicum is flying by and I let my team members know if they need extra hands or help I am available. I was hoping to learn some more about pattern design but if time gets away I will probably watch videos on Skill-Share about it. This was actually my last week in person at Danica as we decided it would be best I work from home to leave the workspace more open for others and because of COVID risk increasing so, I will be working at home for the remainder of the time which is okay but I will definitely have to come back and visit the office again when things are more normal and say hi to everyone.
Stay tuned for my last full week at Danica 🙂

My mom bought me a Danica tea towel which I am in love with. This is a Water colour design by Caitlin who is a surface designer at Danica.
Me very happy about my new tea towel. Love that this packaging is all paper and no plastic. It sort of looked like a picture frame.
