Day 34

Many shades of lavender, but which?

WHAT I DID

• Walked down to Tootsie's with a Pantone book to color match the bricks– so nerdy
• Challenge! One more name added to Tootsie's poster, lots of time spent trying to miraculously squeeze it in
• Mixed color for the bricks– printing starts tomorrow

WHAT I LEARNED

• The bricks of Tootsie's Orchid Lounge are approximately Pantone 2645C
• Some VERY helpful information about the internship process. Bethany told us about her process today and I feel like she works so hard and goes about intern selection in completely the right way. I feel like these tips are general enough to be consistent for most internships, and super helpful:
• Stay in touch– if you interview months ahead of intern selection time, send a card or more recent work sometime in between to let the company know you're still interested
• Keep a good attitude, especially during interview– it's the first (and an important) impression that your employer has of you
• Thoughtful and well put-together mini portfolios are not (believe it or not) just a tedious exercise for graphic design class. They're actually very helpful in showing your work (and knowing that you care about it)
• Why should you get the internship position? Make sure your intent is clear, and show how much an internship will benefit you; you should show that you are eager and willing to learn.
