This week I will be focusing on preparing artwork. Artworks that are needed for the website, exhibition and moving showroom. Designing was never an easy job, you need to patient I guess as you need to prepare yourself that the artwork is not going to be satisfied by the receiving end and the artworks will be edited many times before being finalized.  For the past 2 weeks, I had been doing new product artworks as the company intend to launch it soon.

As the date of launching the new product is getting closer, I was tasked to prepare more artworks..for confidentiality I was not allowed to publish the artworks here.

This week was dramatic for me. I was asked to arrange for a meeting for Manager with client. The initial meeting time was set at 10am Subway Orchard Central. My manager request to change it to 9am instead and I arrange with the other party and without thinking much I thought that it will be alright.
Only after the meeting, I was questioned by my manager who choose the place to meet as it was pitch dark at 9am when the meeting was held and they had to find somewhere else, she was pretty angry and I agreed she should.
So the learning point is not to follow instructions blindly..

Administrative work again for this week as it was what I am suppose to do. I was asked to compile & record of all the taxi campaign in year 2011. I was also asked to prepare a estimate cost of producing a map by calculating  the difference in quotation given by various printer.

In a small company set up, I got to do more things other than my main work task. I need to self learn how to use photoshop and illustrator, these 2 designing software I will be using them very often in the future as the company prepares to launch another new product which will need some artwork. This additional skill that I learn will definitively be beneficial to me in the future.

In preparation for "map", I was asked to start approaching printing company and ask for quotation from them. I went to some of their office and met with their representatives. I need do more homework before such meeting as it they will see me as a more respective figure and thus will not be easily taken advantage of. One of the printer asked me " Are you a student?" I quickly brushed off by replying I just graduated from polytechnic but still I think I was raw, they I speak and present myself must be more polished. Nevertheless, it was a good experience and have the chance to travel out to meet other people where usually my daily job would not allow me to have the chance.

Week 10 was a pretty normal week for me. Administrative work such as making amendments of media kits and sourcing for printer to print the maps.
