During our morning meeting, I was surprisingly told that the work I’ve been doing has finally paid off and that the images I’ve been editing have been making their way onto the Rox Volleyball website. This was wonderful news for me to hear because it was a reassurance that the work I’m doing in this internship is truly contributing to the company and this is the first time I am able to see my work displayed to a public audience. I find it neat now that if someone sees these images on Rox Volleyball’s website or even if I show someone the website, I can say that I personally edited and finalized them.

Besides that news, I continued to work on editing more photos but I also was taught how to do product photo editing for items such as jerseys. This is more advanced and requires more attention to detail but my supervisors thought I was ready for it and could benefit from the challenge. They told me that typically the color-changing process takes weeks for typical interns to get the hang of, but that I had accomplished it within about two weeks and gotten quite well at it. So this week not only did I find out that my work is actually paying off, but that my skills are being noticed and appreciated. It was a humbling day at my internship and I can’t wait to continue advancing my skills and I hope to see even more of my work on their website in the future.
