Canada

This blog is about my trip to Canada from February till the end of July. The reason I have this blog is that my family/ friends and teachers can read what I have been up to.
I'll write about my preperations, flight, what I have learned at the internship company as well as any side trips.

Week 18 - Monday: Day 85

Worked on the magazine for Mud bogs as that event is coming up soon.

I showed the articles I found earlier and had to put it in the magazine. Only pasted it, didn't do anything fancy with it yet.
The supervisor also had a list of sponsors that I had to put in the magazine. First on the side and later I had to find a place to put all the names in. These had to be a quarter page, half page or a full page.
The supervisor left and I had the opportunity to start creating the ads so the workload would be less for the supervisor.
I had to put in the business cards on the right place and other pictures if they were there.
Sadly most companies didn't have anything else posted so I had to go online to their official website to find some information.
* Pictures
* Phone numbers
* Address
* Opening hours
* Slogan's
* Information on what the company is about.
I already started building the main sponsor ad in black and white, but later got a call that that one had to be in color as well as page 3 had to be empty for the index.
I changed the main sponsor ad in color and was actually happy with how it turned out. I never really focused on Graphic design, but I started liking it.
More sponsors came in so the magazine needed more pages in order to have anything else than sponsor ads.

I managed to finish a few businesscard size sponsors (which turned into a quarter page)
I made sure I had the right information and mostly I could get a picture from the websites.
I filled up the top and bottom with either a picture or a colored block to not have it all in white.
That's what the supervisor also told me earlier: Think in Black and white. Use a black background if needed.
If I wouldn't have known this then I wouldn't maybe have experimented with different shades of grey.
When the supervisor returned I was proud to show it as I actually wasn't doubting about my work. (doesn't happen often XD) He was happy I had done more than expected. He liked most of my ads, only some might have a slight change.
Before I left we had a talk about leaving. When I get home he might still contact me for projects. I then won't be seen as an intern anymore and will get paid! Never thought that would happen.
