October 29 - Start of New Internship in New Department

Today I began my second internship at TWEC. I was rehired for the holiday season to work in the Visual Merchandising department. My title is now a Graphic Design intern. I'm working one day a week, so the commute to and from Albany is not as tedious as last semester. I'm not doing this for credit, but instead as a portfolio builder. My two new supervisors are excited for me to start working because I had a good recommendation from the Human Resources department and E-Merchandising department on my work ethic.
I signed several contracts on my internship for the start of my day. I was given a tour of the Visual Merchandising department and assigned my new cubicle and MAC COMPUTER! I was given work right from the start. I began working on projects based on pre-sale merchandise. I was working in Adobe InDesign (THANKFULLY I PRACTICED WITH THE PROGRAM BEFORE I STARTED). I was working with generally pre-made layouts and fonts that were directed towards FYE's branding. I briefly used Adobe Photoshop to edit the pictures I was working with. To obtain the pictures, I was utilizes the movie companys'(?) websites that TWEC subscribes to. It was violate copyright without the permission for the use of the pictures. I worked on about 10-14 different projects for the day.
It was also the Halloween office party. It was a pretty relaxed day for the most part, but I could see the tension from the Christmas rush throughout the office. Everyone was talking about how they were working from home on the weekends. Towards the end of my shift, several of my co-workers brought in their children to trick-or-treat (unfortunately I missed the memo for bringing candy for them). We were also given cider and donoughts.
