How

I got the job.

The interview process went fan-tastic. I was a bit over-prepared for the interview and did not show everything that was brought. I felt that this gave me an advantage because I could judge his initial reaction to my work, and show examples based off of what he liked. We spoke for about two hours, and at the end the job was mine. I felt that the work environ-ment met but did not exceed my expectations. Recently I have been updating web pages for the KMA, and working in Captivate, enter-ing data. I have also been given an icon project for A-D Tech. I have begun the project but am still

working and reworking the icons.

Wade has been great about com-ing to me with changes to the icons. He only ever asks for pdfs to send to the client. Everyone has been really helpful with any ques-tions or concerns that I have had. This week I focused on the A-D Tech icons. I have worked almost completely this week on just the icons, since the deadline is ap-proaching. The work flow is pretty continuos, and I am enjoying focusing my concentration on this particular project. Although I do enjoy working on several at once, just to get a clear head in between alterations. I have also been work-ing on the development of my personal logo, but have not had the time to concentrate on the design fully. I have had a lot of fun developing color schemes for the icons, though Wade and I agree they work best in gray scale.

Being a vector girl, I love work-ing in illustrator, so naturally whenever I illustrate that is is the program I tend do gravitate towards. I discovered an interest-ing complexity while working on my icons that prompted me to explore this idea. Through out design we are told to be selec-tive on our media. I don’t think that many of us consider various programs and computer styles as media, but they are. Normally I would compare working in paper, to working on the computer. Two separate forms. I never took the chance to consider the various medias within the computer. This is a major over-site! while creating icons that needed to work at the size of 16 px, I was working in illustrator, and my icons seemed unreadable at that size, even after dropping transparencies so the icons would scale. After reading a brilliant article “ The Seven Rules of Icon Design,” I realized I was disregarding one of the basic prin-ciples. I needed to work in pixels if I wanted the icons to read as 16 px icons.

Creating interesting icons that work at sixteen pixels has pre-sented an interesting challenge. They need to be clear enough to read, but detailed enough to be visually pleasing. I have come to discover that the conundrum of this perplexity is solved by careful consideration to media.

I know this may seem like an obvi-ous statement, but it’s not. Many of us find our comfort zones and constantly try to mold them for our own purposes. I believe it was unconscious. I automatically opened illustrator without thinking. So lessoned learned. Think before you open a program. Ask yourself, “is this relevant?” In my case, “yes.” If I did not open illustrator, I would not have discovered that I needed to be working in photoshop.

A-D Technologies

Everyone here has been so en-couraging and so helpful. This team has exceeded my expectations as far as friendliness and compli-ments. They have never failed to tell me when I’m doing a good job, and are always quick to tell me when I need to fix or rework something. This week I focused on the finalization of the A-D icons, which where approved. I also worked on the Uniguest Wayfind-er project in flash, where I learned how php and flash work together to organize and create informa-tion. I have also been working on my wire frame for my website, as well as more icon work for myself. Over all this has been the best week ever at DMGX, and I really feel part of the team. Everyone has gone out of there way to make me feel comfortable and at home.

The Uniguest flash project was my first experience ever really work-ing and illustrating in flash. This was very exciting for me because I was able to learn how php and flash can work together to create animations. Although this was a very time consuming project held to a strict deadline, I had fun get-ting to see the final end product. I was also able to work closely with the programer of this system, who explained every detail of how php and flash work to achieve the ani-mation. At the end of my day I got to see the animation work, which I describe as pure joy.

This project had the same reward-ing feeling that comes with seeing a coded web site. That is the only way it could be described.

My logo work.

THE convention center

THE convention center

The Wayfinder/Uniguest project has been very involved and time consuming.. Almost everyone in the office has contributed some aspect to the project, so a major point of this week was doing more very intense repetitive work. After creating the flash buttons last week, the animation worked, and this week I re sized over three hundred screen shots that will work on a phone. This way when someone pulls up the Wayfinder map, the business that they are looking for will light up in green and draw a yellow line (which I made tons of) to the location of the green box. This all sounds very simple, but with over three hundred companies to look after this presented a very slow process. I must say I can re size and save images in Photoshop in a matter of seconds now!

I have also been working on further explorations of my logo/brand. I have had a chance to work on this concept a little more this week than I have been. I have realized that my logo has a “tron-like” feel, and will try to incorporate that into my brand. This concept fits well with me, because I am a mathematical person who is a planner. Also the logo is fun, modern and funky, which embodies my spirit. Plus I love that it creates grid guides.

Now that I have a direction with my brand, I decided to start the basic wire frames of my web site. I have the grid of the web site based off of the logo I have cre-ated. Also, I bought a domain so now tristabusch.comwill be up and running soon.

Look, Working JQUERY!

I love working here! I feel that being here for at least six hours a day five days a week is perfect. I really feel like I am a part of the team. Everyone is very encourag-ing. I will be spending some of my time learning new program-ing languages that are important for how our designs work. I have been working in flash, and have recently just had my first success at JQuery.

I do wish that we could have spent more time focusing on other programs and aspects of design that weren’t centered around print. Java Script and PHP are very important languages for a designer to know. These are how almost every piece of motion on the web is created. Flash is a big one too. I do wish that we would have learned some basic concepts with these elements, before being

asked to work in them.

Thankfully I am a fast learner, and have picked up pretty quickly, and I have had a lot of support in the process. I would really enjoy working here or in a similar situa-tion because I am always working on something different. Switching from print to web is a big change but I have enjoyed the process.

My web site is coming along, although I am still lacking content. The design has gone slow, but carefully thought through. Originally I was going to do my web site in Flash, but now it makes more sense to use JQuery. I have enjoyed working in Java Script, but I am having trouble creating consistency throughout the browsers.

Also, I am having trouble deciding what to include and what not to include. Overall I feel that the design is creative. I will have to go and rethink my categories before I am done, because I feel that there are sill some major chunks missing that I would like to keep.

Smoke and mirrors are a big portion of creating design for HD. Although I was tough from the get go not to use all caps, here I am being asked to do so. Well such is life. Men are crude so why shouldn’t the type be too. Trade Gothic is very fitting for HD anyway, and it’s not the worst font I have ever seen in all caps. I am learning the wonders of creating smoke in Photoshop, of which I now have a greater appreciation.

There are a great many things that are different from the school environment that are not similar to an actual job setting. You can not change a clients aesthetic or logo just because you don’t like it. So you have to work with it. This is difficult if you are being told to do something that you were taught not to do. For instance the all caps. Very distasteful but when required to you don’t have a choice. Itera-tion is still an essential part of the design process in school and work. I have come to find myself having numerous files and creating new from old. These are all concepts that I am familiar with. My boss is very positive and complimentary. He is quick to make suggestions, but does not change my work. I have had not a single problem getting in my hours, and because I have my own space, I work in silence for most of the day. That is the major difference between work and school. I miss looking over my shoulder and sharing a funny quip.

I have been continuing my exploration of a facebook avatar for Harley-Davidson. This is one of my none-pressing matters, so I am able to take my time and play with different concepts. I have enjoyed this project, but without approval I am sitting at a stand still. My boss Wade has been very busy this week and has not had a chance to review my work. I felt that the logo on the back of the jacket was a cleaver idea, but at that small of a size, the logo was unreadable. The next consideration that came to mind was pavement or a road. I tried applying this concept by creating a pavement brush in Photoshop to give a more realistic quality to the image. Although this was working better, it still didn’t communicate well at a small size. So I have now circled round to my first iterations, trying to refine and improve my earlier concepts.

Along with the adds and creations of the avatar, I have also been up-dating the online catalog through php. This is very time consuming, but I feel that I have learned more about php than anything, just by spending time daily imput-ing products and uploading my Photoshoped images. The admin account on Harley is my favorite php I have had to work on here at dmgx because it is so user friendly. Although working in this fashion does take some concentration, once you have developed a flow, the rest is down hill.

The Tennsmith account is also another learning experience for me. I made my first xml sheet for the catalog, were I had to go individually by product and input the information. Another painstaking task was to create the images with transparent backgrounds, which all had to be hand cut out by yours truly. I can now say that I am the master of background removal!

Caroline Mckenzie’s web site was passed off to me about midway through the project. She wanted to keep the aesthetics of her business card, so I decided to treat her web site in that manor. Unfortunately both the color scheme and font are not web safe so they had to be treated as images. This currently does not create problems for her web site, but if she needs to add more content over the years it will. To trouble shoot this problem I used a simple div explaining that the footer of the page would be treated as an image that repeats as the page length increases. This way she can update as much content as she wants without crossing over the white portion of the page.

New clients are treated with the upmost care and priority. Not to say that we devalue our reliable and faithful clients, those our the bread and butter. Most new clients require comps to decide if they want to further pursue working with dmgx. This can be a pain but is necessary to establish a bond of trust between client and company. Most projects are bid at a price that is reflective of the estimated time and involvement. There are a few accounts that are maintained, but most are bided jobs that are billed per project. The downside to working in this way is that you are not payed until the job is done.

It is very hard to critique my work from my bosses perspective because he is so positive, but he is always quick to suggest trying something that I have not yet considered, and is receptive to the ideas I suggest.

He would probably ask if I had considered some other options on the facebook avatar, and we would throw around ideas for a couple and continue the iterative process.

Most clients can’t tell you what they want, but they can tell you what they don’t. “I just don’t know” is a phrase from clients that lets you know you need to move a different direction. Trying to con-vince them you are right is usually a wast of time. Usually.

Southeastern DermatologySoutheastern Dermatology is a web site that I have been updating. They needed to add before and after pictures, but the pictures were inconsis-tent sizes and were not professional to say the least. I was asked to set these images up in a logical thought process, but the client had already received more work then the were purchasing. I was told not to Pho-toshop the dates and backgrounds, even though they were inconsistent. This taught me to realize that even though something might not look great, if there not paying for it, it’s not worth fixing. Correcting all 150 images would have taken me several days, and there would be no pay off for the labor. After I was finished laying the images out, I was moved onto a project that is paying for our services. Sometimes it does come down to dollars and cents.

Tennsmith has been a very ex-tensive account that I have been working on. I first created the xml sheet to organize the products on call. I then had to cut out all of the images. After I had created transparent backgrounds on all of the images I had to color correct the products because they were all different shades of green. I took the phex color that my boss cre-ated and used that color to match the products, as well as creating equal contrast. Phex colors are paired hexadecimal colors that hold up better in a web environ-ment. This was important to use for consistency amongst brows-ers. Although phex colors are not perfect, they are more consistent then regular hexadecimal.Shadowing was also a concern with these images. None of the images had any shadow, so they seemed to float on the page. With a little opacity and Gaussian blur I was able to create quite convinc-ing shadowing throughout the products.The products also had to be saved out in three different ways. I cre-ated one really huge Photoshop file containing all of the images, and then web saved them off as I went. This way if for some reason I had to redo the images, which often happens, I would be able to call upon the original file.

Another problem with consistency was the clamps. Although all the clamps were pictured clamped to something, they were all clamped to something different. In order to have uniformity, I deleted the miscellaneous objects and created gradient boxes in which they could appear to be clamped down.

Maintaining the Harley Davidson website is an ongoing task with no end. There are always new products to be imputed, or new data to sort. Fortunately my colleagues have created a brilliant php administrator account to handle the online catalog, which has made my world easier. The unfortunate aspect of such a web site is that the information does not always present itself in a logical order. Most ordering has to be done manually, and with a website as extensive as Harley Dragon this can become muddy quick. I have found that keeping hand notes of what I have changed has made navigating what needs to be done much easier.

I am often asked my opinion on projects, although I might not always get free creative rein. I work on several projects at once so my permitter of design input is always changing. Some projects I am given complete crea-tive freedom, where others I am given a strict guideline to follow. The clients generally are just happy with a quality product. They do request design styles some times, which may or may not be wise.I hope to work in my next intern position at design sensory or Robin Easter. Design Sensory is a company similar to dmgx, and works in the area of media design that I am currently pursuing. Robin Easter would be a great opportunity as well, and because she is right across the street from dmgx it would be very convenient since I now work at dmgx. Items are often changed after a design has been aproved by a client. Normally about 30 minor alterations will be made from the time the design is approved to the time it gets finalized. This happens in such a subtle way that the client is often unaware of any changes that were made. We make these changes for our own sake and not the sake of others.
