The IW team is bonding more and more everyday. Even though we all now have our first projects, we still seem to keep the atmosphere filled with laughter and Pandora music.

Although we’re having a good time, we still know how to get down to business. Some of us are in the beginning stages of sketching out ideas and doing research. Others have to move more swiftly to meet the deadlines.

Personally, I’m working through the process of making a logo. Although I’ve done this in class, the process is a bit different for a real client. It’s a big challenge that I have to work through to try to come up with a good solution.

Also, last week I was presented with a great opportunity. Heather, our agency manager, sent us all an e-mail about a part time graphic design job that I just couldn’t pass up. It’s with Studio Calico, a company that sells scrap-booking kits. I’ve been a fan of scrap-booking since I was a kid and have always wanted to get into this industry. I went in for the interview two weeks ago and started a week later. I love it. I’m learning a lot every day, and even though I have a lot on my plate, it’s been worth it so far.

Check back next week for more exciting news!
