Eighth Week of Internship

For my eighth week of internship with the Stetson University Men’s basketball team, I had a variety of different things that I helped work on. For this week, my primary responsibility was to help build templates yet again for game day graphics as well as for other things that the team may post, such as commitment graphics, holiday graphics, or themed game days where Stetson as well as Stetson students will both be encouraged to follow a guideline of how to dress or cheer at a specific game. For Stetson Specifically, it is most common for us to have a white or green out game, so I continued to work on graphics and templates that have mostly followed this color scheme. Due to my work in previous weeks, it was significantly easier for me to create some of the posts that I needed to because of the fact that I have already cut out a high resolution image of every single player on the team, and now my issue I shaving to go back and remove players that are graduating or transferring rather than having to go back and cut out and add players that I hadn’t made cutouts for like in the past. One thing that I had noticed I changed after making the historic season graphic was that I had started to preserve the original cut outs of players. Typically, I wold rasterize a layer while cutting it out and do camera raw filter to the original layer and end up with an image I can no longer change. Now, I have learned to keep the cut out as a smart object and do a majority of my change on a duplicate layer, as well as the camera raw filter so that if I need to reference the original image, I can grab the original and change the color, resolution, or texture however I see fit in the next project. This change of mindset has greatly helped me improve my workflow, and I can tell that my skills are improving over time due to me consistently working with the team.
