Life of an intern: Look Ma, No Hands!
Somehow I made it to the office on Wednesday. Usually there are at least two interns on any given day, but that day it was just me. It was another one of those days where I didn’t have enough time to finish everything by the end of the day. On the list of things to do was press clippings, making changes on the photo collages I did the other day, finishing up the coloring on the 6-pack case...

Life of an intern: Moving at the Speed of Sound
Not only is that one of my favorite Mike Posner songs, but it’s also how I felt all day. Today was the quickest day so far at the internship and was a microcosm of this whole experience. After next week it will all be over, and I can’t say I’m ready for that to happen yet.
Last week I met the boss by way of him ‘okaying’ a Harry Potter themed birthday card I was...

WatchMade this animation today, makes more sense if you’ve seen Kanye West’s “Runaway” video. Oh, I did the voices too.

Today I earned the right of working on cupcake topper’s for the boss’/boss’s son. Yay. Something about me that tends to confuse people is that I’ve only seen half of one of the Harry Potter movies and have never read a single page of however many books there are. It was only right that I get this assignment involving this character. She started explaining...

On the way out to commute to Philly this morning I saw a combination of buffalo, tigers, and bears on the front lawn. I’m not sure what they were fighting over, but it got pretty intense. The photos I took with my camera phone got erased somehow.
The combination of rain, snow, and ice made me extra motivated to get to the office as quickly as possible. Got there and got right to work on...

Life of an intern: Rule No.1
There is a shit ton of graffiti on the commute from Newark to Philly. Oh yeah, and there were two deer on the side of the railway, unfortunately we passed before I could snap a pic. Someone once told me I would get tired of this commute, but I don’t think that’ll happen anytime soon.
This was my first friday in the office, and I figured it would be really busy. I continued on what...

Life of an intern: The Day After a Snow Day
Remember that wireframe I was excited to get started on? Well that never actually happened today because of the snow day on Wednesday. There are a couple other interns, so sometimes work gets bounced around. I was sort of productive on my snow day though, went to go see “Exit Through the Gift Shop”, which I definitely recommend you see if you haven’t already.
The craziest thing...

I went into work after a relaxing weekend thinking it would be the longest day of my life and it turned out feeling like i was running on a treadmill the whole day. Got right to work on some press clippings for the website and after that was done the dreadful contact sheet massacre began. In advertising, photography is really important and because of that they need to take thousands of photos....

Light sculpture by mischer'traxler
“The start of this project was a focus on light sources. Instead of completely designing a newly shaped lamp, ‘Relumine’ plays on the fact that we all have to switch from old light bulbs to new energy saving light sources.”
Great Concept

Life of an intern: Double Screens
Thursday was my last day of this week to go into live the life of an intern. Wednesday I wasn’t able to finish one job so I came in and immediately got started on it only to find out that it had already been done. No big deal though, it was good exercise and was better than doing nothing. The rest of the day was relatively slow. I was actually able to eat all of my lunch without getting...

Life of an intern: Trains, headaches, and...
Still getting used to commuting on the train everyday. Rode with Andrew, Zach, Sandra and Camden today so there was a little more familiarity. I walked into some work on my desk when I got to my internship in this morning. It felt good to have work waiting for me even if it was “intern work”. A lot of my day was spent working on a layout for an email blast about events centered around...

View from the train in the morning
Started today at Quaker City Mercantile, and got to meet tons of great people. It’s an ad agency so there were two floors, one for the account managers and upstairs where I was were the art directors, copywriters and designers.
My first task was to get acquainted with how the office worked and then embarrass myself by sending out an email to the whole...

VC Internship
This month I’ll be interning with Quaker City Mercantile, formerly Gyro. It started as an advertising agency, but they do much more, they even have their own products they have developed. It’s in the heart of Philadelphia, very close to the train station so it’s convenient for commuting. Philadelphia is where I want to be after school, so hopefully this month long internship...
