Today marks the second week of my summer internship here at DME located in Daytona Beach Florida. This week I continued to design more Fathers Day gift wrapping paper. I have made many different pattern designs. I made patterns on the topic of fishing since most men enjoy the outdoors and fishing! my pattern consist of : Fish, fishing rod, cooler with text on the cooler ( Happy fathers Day). The second pattern I designed had to do with the topic of business: ties, bow ties with text on the bow tie ( Happy Fathers day) I have also designed a BBQ pattern: chef pig, ribs, and BBQ sauce on the BBQ sauce bottle it says ( Happy Fathers Day). Lastly I created a corona, lime and crown design and under the crown text says ( Happy Fathers Day) This was my all time favorite because I have gained more skills and I am finally getting the hang out pattern surface design. I am super excited for them to go up on DME giftskin website so that customers can start buying there Fathers Day gift wrapping paper!
( I also was able to incorporate a image box on all wrapping paper that i designed so that the customer can upload the picture of the “Father”)
Monday March 11th I started my Summer internship at DME in Daytona Beach Florida. I started at 10:00 and ended at 3:00 my main schedule is Monday-Wedneday reaching 15 plus hours a week. Today I met Anna a Graphic Designer here at DME she is my main mentor and guides me in the right direction when working on projects. I also was able to meet the entire team which I found very large and amusing. Today I did mainly research on the companies website along with “GiftSkin” – one website that the company uses. This website allows customers to pick and design there own gift wrapping paper! They can choose from many designs that the designers create here at DME or they can make their own. Today I learned much about the company and what projects I will be working on this summer. My first project coming up is to design and make Fathers Day gift wrapping paper. I design this through Adobe illustrator, Photoshop and working in CMYK, since it’s ultimately a print document. Today I was able to take notes and come up with my own ideas; I even was able to through a sketch together for my first project. I am looking forward to learning much more and gaining real life experience here at DME. I am super excited to be creating many designs and patterns for cards, wrapping paper, wall paper..,etc. It is awesome knowing that I am designing and creating wrapping paper for clients!
