Week 2 - Getting better acquainted with your site

Second Week :)
~Every day is a very diffrent day for me and thats what i love about it~

Well based on this story all i can say is that you always have to think before you say something

The job that i do is always different every day because every day we have different clients that are designers. They all have different imaginations and different styles.

The quote that i read in the book "Swatches" by Dorsey Sitley Adler who is my mentor as well as Josh Bonilla. The saying that is written in the book is " Before designer puts a pen to a paper, paint to a canvas or fingers to a computer keyboard it most helpful to first visualize an idea in the mind' s eye and the quality of one's source of material can make all the diffrence."

All i can say about the story with your intern is that its a lesson learned. Its hard to overcome that not understanding and feeling of rejection but its always important to come clean about it. However you always have to make sure to explain yourself correctly and its okay to take time to think about what to say before actually saying it.
