    I finally finished my first assigned ticket/project! It was a really simple task but still. I had to turn a bookmark file into an 8.5 x 11″ flyer. There were some bumps in the road. The bookmark functioned as a coupon for a free library bag, which would be odd for a flyer. I asked about that and then scrapped the coupon paragraph. Turning a bookmark into a flyer also made it interesting when trying to place images.

    I learned how communication between a client and a designer goes. It was good practice! Another graphic designer was also able to look over my file. I’m still learning what versions of logos to use and where everything is on the I drive. I’ve never used the Share for Review feature in Adobe. It’s pretty handy and I think I’ll remember that for future projects.

    Now I’ve got the hang of things (a little bit at least). I can’t wait to update yall on what I work on next 🙂

    Currently, I’m working on an ultra top-secret (not really) chatbot design. I’ve been given the chance to determine a chatbot’s graphic and overall branding.

    I started my process like any other project, with research. I wanted to get a feel for the chatbot graphic standard as well as fit into my criteria which are:

    • five individual graphics
    • graphics should use brand colors
    • graphics shouldn’t be too robotic or too human-like

    I spent a good amount of time drafting up potential graphics. When designing, I knew my graphic was going to be very small on a screen. I got a lot of good feedback from my manager and the lead graphic designer.

    • my graphics needed more personality
    • scale isn’t an issue, so add more detail
    • play around with different color combos
    • make all-white versions of logos to determine their flexibility

    After the feedback, I went back and revised it. I am not an artist in the drawing sense, and I was a bit worried about my knack for digital art. But I played around and made edits. Hopefully, I’ll get another round of critiques soon.

    Here’s where I’m at so far:
