FUH.

First week of internship and I'm pretty much exhausted already. Haha.

First day itself I was already given quite a bit of work. Designing a namecard, helping with some designs for 3M Post-it posters and stuff. And some misc other design jobs.

I'm doing my internship at Identity Design & Advertising. There's another guy from (Ah Wong) interning there as well but he's been there for 2 months already and will be leaving in a month's time. There are 3 other designers who are also all guys('Cookie', Kyan and William). Initially it was kinda scary but the guys were all really really friendly and within a few days we all got along really well. One of the fun parts is going lunch together-gether. I guess it's also because we're all around the same age, the oldest guy is 25. :D Then there's my boss Mr. Jay, his wife Ms. Lynn and the accounts manager Ms Christine. (not too sure of how to spell their names. haha.)

It gets really busy in the office when there's a deadline to meet and all of us designers will sama-sama tension in the office. Stress k. Fuh. But everyone is really nice and we help each other out a lot. :D
We masuk office around 9am ish and leave around 7 to 8pm. But the guys usually leave around 9pm and sometimes 10pm. O_O So yeah, I'm usually drained by the time I'm back home and I sleep as early as I can. hahaha. No more late nights for me. :P

In the office itself there's a printing room where they print banners, posters, do mock-ups etc etc. So far I've only done one packaging mock-up. And I usually just print A4 size stuff to show my boss.

I'm learning quite a lot too, my colleagues are pros in Adobe Illustrator so I consult them a lot when I'm not sure. And my boss would teach me design related stuff. There's also a book rack with reference books that we can refer to when we need some ideas. It's darn cold in the office so I'm always bundled up in my jacket. hehe. And we usually turn on the radio during office hours so it helps ease the stress. haha.

OWH, before I forget, William has his own line of clothes for guys called Banana Mutant. Here's the link: BananaMutant. He designs the clothes and it's really high quality stuff. He brought some to the office cos he was meeting up with a customer during lunchtime so we managed to check out the clothes. :D I heard him say his girlfriend (who is a designer as well) is coming up with her line of clothes for girls. Can't wait to check it out. :3

Here's a picture of my workstation before I ciao.



Nighty night people. :D
