The Test?

My first project at work was to design and print an edition of 40 posters to advertise the printshop's summer class schedule. I got this assignment about 20 minutes in, with my boss not having seen any of my work. The biggest edition I've made up til now was 14, so I was a little intimidated. Plus I wasn't sure of the expectations for level of creativity (the people at my work are so talented!). Fortunately, my boss seemed to think I could handle it, which in turn made me think I could handle it.

After three days, a minor set back when a pipe in the building burst and there was no water for a few hours, I finished the posters, and they look good!

I also went to my first monitor bi-weekly meeting on Wednesday night. A group of 8 to 12 monitors who are really dedicated to the success of the shop get together every other Wednesday to discuss the budget, fundraising, policies and projects. We talked a lot about different ideas to implement during the summer. I will probably be making a ton of promotinal materials for fall classes. Our next meeting is a show and tell, followed by pizza and beer at Slice. Now that is corporate culture.
