The Incoming Business World

A large part of this class is working with businesses out in the community. We have finally started with this project. We were told to go and get the contact information of ten businesses. With all this information, we sent out letters hoping the businesses would want our work. With these people contacting us wanting our services, we are to begin working on drafts of the products desired.

For my business that I am working for, is actually my teacher. She is in need for two business cards. One for a school usage, while the other one is almost a personal use. This project is going to be some-what challenging. Especially working for my teacher, it is going to be difficult. Knowing that she will be trying to teach me and be a client at the same time will possibly be difficult for her. I don't want to let her down. I hope I am able to show her my full potential while working for her.

The Yearbook Competition


The next project we worked on was creating a yearbook design. I believe this was the hardest project yet. With our design having the possibility of being seen by thousands of people when published, this piles the pressure on to our class. This design is harder than it seemed.

With this design we needed to incorporate the title "Every Ending is a New Beginning". It may not seem like it could be challenging to think of a design, but it actually is. Most of the class decided to bring in tigers into their designs. I did the same.

This was challenging for me because the title doesn't bring me anything specific for ideas. The tiger was the simplest way to go with this. Simple is sometimes better than complicated.
