29-31 days of internship

18th - 21th July 2011

I was ask to design a brochure. so it took me like a few days to complete the overall brochure design. There was also a reference for me to follow, the reference was given by the boss. It is not my final design brochure since the boss said i still have to do some little modification to it, but i haven't start the modification yet, since the boss said he'll discuss about it later. In between those days, i also have to update the B2B website and check if there is any enquiry from any customers. Well, on the 16th and 17th of july, which is saturday and sunday. Boss can't stop calling me and ask me to duplicate the receipt that he wanted to used immediately. It was kind of though because we were discussing about what he wants through the phone. He started asking me to do it, on the saturday night, so i end up finishing what he wants on sunday evening. Well that is an experience! Below are some example of my brochure design and the duplication of the receipt that is put into words file:

I was given a new task again, that was to re-design the existing business card. So i do the things that i usually do before putting all the design in the computer. So i ended up with 4 different design of business card. Also in between those day, i had to do some little modification on the letterhead and put it as a watermark in words so that it would be easier for my boss to write information on it. Below are the final letterhead and some few example of business card:

19-25 days of internship

1st July - 11th July 2011

On the 1st of july, i started doing the B2B website by putting all the information about the coal products. It was not that easy cause some of the website is quite complicated, such as i have to put the correct information, the right amount of description or else it can't be upload. So it took me like the whole day to not really complete all the B2B website. Well on the 4th-6th of july, was still doing the B2B website by doing some small modification and so forth, then unfortunately i had to re-modify the previous catalog that i thought was done! So in between those two days, I have to change the table color and the font types and so forth. Then on the 7th - 11th of july, i was given a new task, that is to create a letterhead, well i had to do some research and sketches before i proceed to design it on the computer. It took me 4 days to complete all of the 5 design letterhead, and in the end my boss chose the very simplest letterhead. It was kind of a break down, but yeah i have to follow what he wants. Below are  few example of the re-modified catalog and letterhead:

15-17 days of internship

27th - 29th of June 2011

Basically for the past few days, I started to do my research on envelope design, do some sketching,and digitalizing. On the 28th of June my boss said he still needs to put a little changes on the catalog design for the product part. There was 15 products in total that was equal to 8 pages of product. It took me the whole day to make the changes. Also the worst part is that, at first he asked me to do it in A4 size, a few hours later he told me to do it in a smaller size then A4, few minutes after that he asked to change it back to A4 size, then a few hours more he asked to change it to the smaller size again. To be honest it was pretty annoying at first, but yah it is an experience. Finally on the 29th, which was yesterday the catalog was approved by both boss except last night he called me and ask me to export it into PDF file for the catalog to be put online. Also I started to put the envelope design in the computer to digitalize it. Well basically thats what happen for the 3 days of my internship. :). Below is some of the product pages and envelope design:

The whole week was all about the catalog. Researching, sketching, designing and digitalizing. At first I design around 3 catalog design. My boss chose one design. After choosing one design, boss wanted to make it look as simple as possible. So I redesign everything and make it as simple as I can. The whole week, everyday i completed the catalog there must be a slight,little changes I have to do on the catalog. Until the 24th of June, finally the catalog was approved. But I was still not sure if the catalog design was really what they want, cause it was not yet approved by the other boss. So I was not really that happy. Well that's what happen for the whole week. Here's some images of the catalog cover, the boss chose the 3rd design of the catalog :
