Welcome to our blog, ladies!

Instead of written midterm reports, I would like to see you sharing thoughts, experiences, anecdotes, etc. with the whole group.
Basic requirements will be the following:
  • One post per week minimum about your own project.
  • One contribution/comment about one of your classmate's posts that offers additional insight to their experiences.
  • Your post about your own project is to be a minimum of 200 words.
  • Your comment about another experience should be positive and encouraging.
  • Photos and/or videos are not required, but definitely encouraged. It's nice to have a visual to help the image in our head as we read about your project.

Happy project and happy blogging, ladies. :)

Bye Bye Ricky!

This past week at Nesnadny + Schwartz has found me doing everything from taking field trips, to eating more, to retouching photoshop documents, to housekeeping and eating more.

On Friday, one of the employees Ricky, left to start a new job at a graphic design firm in Chicago. It was very cool and we were all very excited for him but at this rate, Mr. Schwartz buying us a free lunch every week! The last thing we need is more food! Anyway, it was very cool to watch the transition that Ricky had to take going from N+S to to Chicago. One of the things he had to do was a brain dump, which is where is gives all of his assignments and jobs to other people in the office.

I would have liked to have stayed around for his last day but Amanda, the other intern from Beaumont, and I had to drive 45 minutes to a HUGE printing press. Seeing that was awesome but it was too bad that we only got to stay there for 30 minutes because we ended up getting lost on the way there and we couldn't find our way for an hour and a half. However, once we were there everything from the smell to the products were incredibly cool. I took pictures!

Other than our field trip, I have been retouching slides for the N+S website and going through negatives and organizing them.

Also, Amanda and I have been given the job of bringing N+S to Facebook, so we have been doing a lot of research trying to figure out the best way to display what N+S has to offer. Spending all day on Facebook... it's so hard!
