So I started my internship today. It was a long day. It's been a while since I last had an 8 hour work day...and last time I did, I was paid. However, it wasn't very difficult today. It's a pretty laid back atmosphere, but it's clear that the guys (Tim-Owner, Mike-Head Designer, and Doug-...sign...maker...guy...) know what they're doing. It's SUPER FREEZING in the building though, so I need to wear more layers tomorrow.
Today I basically sat around a lot, listening to and joking with the guys. We shared some work stories. I did get to work on a logo design though, and hopefully I'll find out tomorrow if the customer likes any of the ideas I came up with. I also did something called "weeding vinyl," which is basically pulling away the excess vinyl around the letters that have been cut into it.
Project time!
Over break I found a neat little wooden drawer (well, I went out looking for it) to make a business card file, like one I'd seen online (except the one online was super expensive and made with sleek, modern glass and black file cards). I wanted somewhere neat to put my business card collection, and a little file seemed great. So I made my own tabs, and the other day I finally finished my project. The tabs aren't as perfect as I'd hoped they'd be, but that's because I'm too cheap to go buy a decent little paper cutter right now (like one of those little slide ones), so I cut everything by hand with scissors. I could have used an exacto and a ruler, but I was too lazy to do that. It's not a big deal though, and the tabs work fine for now. I can always make new ones in the future.
Ta-da! Some of the tabs need a little trimming on the sides...they juuuuust fit in the box. But I like it. It's quirky, and it will hold plenty of business cards.
