Finishing

They're still finishing the video for the women's conference, and they're finishing the video that my stick art was used for. Both should be pretty amazing. Here's some of the photos from the photoshoot that I helped with, it's going to be used in the final print piece that I'm working on. It'll also be in the video, and other miscellaneous posters that they decide to make in my absense. This is just a few of them. There were probably a billion. Photos by Justin King.





Some of my work consisted of stuff that was time consuming, but necessary. Things no one else wanted to do, like making 90 slides a month for slide announcements.





I also had to make all the slides for baby dedication! Here's some examples.




Overall, I think everything I learned has helped me greatly. I got to develop my own stuff, using my own style, but I still had to stay within the constraints of the client. I also realized how important making multiple drafts is. I had to draft out some of this stuff 10-15 times before I created something that they were OK with. I think I always kind of knew this, but it became way more apparent to me over the summer. It was wonderful. :)

Final

My internship ended this past wednesday! It was wonderful. There's still one more print piece that I'm going to finish, but the rest of it is done.

I learned a whole lot during my internship, like how to work for clients, and how to handle a whole campaign by myself. In the past, a lot of my pieces have been done on paper first, and then I scan them into the computer. With these projects, they needed all the layers separate so they could use different aspects of them in the videos. So I had to come up with a new way of making, I learned how to use photoshop more effectively, and I just gained a lot of experience because I had to produce so many pieces.

With the Women's event, I had to develop so many different pieces in so many different formats that it made me a little crazy. Here's all the pieces on one post. :)

The various sizes of web graphics for the website.

Graphics for the smaller screens:




The shirts were listed lower. We decided to order actual cool clothes to print the graphics on, so we're waiting for those to come in to decide where we're going to place the graphics.
I also developed the necklaces that they're making to give out to all the ladies. They're similar to the necklaces that I made to raise money for Africa. I'll take a picture and post it here whenever I finish the sample. It's a teardrop shape, and the front has a colored pattern. We made a custom stamp to stamp the back, and it says "possibility, Mark 9:27." The string is a waxed linen, and the few samples I have made have gone over really well.

I also developed the logo for all new life church women's event. This is the one they decided on.


Its really cute, I'm really excited about it.

This week

This week has been slammed as well. I'm starting to get a little antsy about juggling everything.

I'm working on the clothes for the women's events. Here's a couple of shirt options.




I'm also working on the invitations that the church is going to send out.
