Day1 Feb-20

After months of searching for an opportunity in a Digital Media internship, I’ve found and got offered a placement from Lion Media Group. An interview was hosted and I got informed that this placement is all about designing and making a visual article for the Wechat article accounts. and a little test was scheduled, which was making my version of the article by the assets given.

Images below are the work I made, the last image is the screenshot of theasset given.

Today is the first day I start my internship at Lion Media Group as a graphic designer. But due to the urgent incident of PTV, I was 50 mins late. Not a great start for a placement, but I managed to communicate with my supervisor and co-workers to let them know beforehand.

Today’s task was to be familiar with the style of article they produce on the WeChat account, ‘WoS_official AU’. I was told to conclude with a summary of design choices.

After that, the supervisor told me to try to remake the test article I made after reviewing the articles. I realized the use of font style, font size, color, and image scaling and size is all over the place. I spend the rest of the shift time, slowly refining one of the panels, and I learned many Adobe Photoshop skills during refinement.

At the end of the day, I presented the work I refined to the supervisor. He said it is getting better, but it is not enough. I’ve used a lot of my brain to redesign to a point i can’t see anything new now, so i decide to call it a day(as the time is almost near the end).

Hours Worked: 8 Hours.
