 This week was extremely busy. I started off by finishing up my 16 slides on Canva: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG3LzHVcmM/f0BqZlz-Nte9xS4pgNGIcg/edit?utm_content=DAG3LzHVcmM&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton . One of my focuses on Canva was using more white space, I also was working on layering as seen on the first 4 slides. With the layering I was  trying to make things look 3d on a 2d space so if a object like a person was close on a hill I would make them bigger vs if they are further away in the background I would make them smaller. I also found it a challenge at times to color match and make the background colors look like they went with the front graphics that I decided to use. There is a feature on Canva that helps color matching and I used hex tools to find colors that looked well together. 

I also worked on Instagram posts for healthy living tips for adults as well as one for teens. I do these frequently so I have created a system that helps me to create them. I brainstorm different ideas on what I think these 2 different age groups need to focus on more for example sleeping better as young adults :https://www.canva.com/design/DAG32NHXt0k/LH5UXSs_m5MsZRijph-EEw/view?utm_content=DAG32NHXt0k&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h8ca8f53761  . I try to think of colors that go well with the theme like dark blue and what looks good in the background like white stars in the sky or shadowing. 

Lastly, I worked on pickleball slides. https://www.canva.com/design/DAG4B9My70g/zJUH8srhFI7Vp1aBBOk5mQ/view?utm_content=DAG4B9My70g&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h9fc0a0c680 .

My friend Liora just started a internship working at the YMCA with me and we both created this together. I work better with others because it helps to have someone to bounce off ideas with and brainstorm as well. We both sat down and discussed what we thought would look the best as well as figuring out what colors to use. We had to have 4 different email banners for people to use. We struggled due to our administrations settings on Canva that were out of our control but managed to find work arounds to fit our ideas.

 In the first few weeks of my internship at the YMCA Greendale Branch I have been on the marketing team. Every day is a new adventure and I can't wait to follow you all along with me on this journey. This past week I have been focusing a lot of time on social media posting, learning about analytics such as peak times to post and how to create easy eye catching post descriptions that will grab peoples attention. I have also been putting a lot of effort into creating videos for the YMCA see attached link for the video that I directed:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DPmr_hojSzl . I have also worked on creating staff shoutouts such as:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DPq-pItiUBQ   . My internship is not just about learning about marketing which is my main focus. It's also about making sure people have the best experience possible when they walk through the door and making sure the YMCA is a welcoming place, I feel good with the work that I do and feel motivated to put ou...

 In the past week I have been working a lot on flyers around the building specifically I have been working a lot of pickleball promotions as well as promoting our haunted house. The haunted house was very fun to work on. Anyone could show up to the building and the haunted house was free. It took a lot of time and effort to get everything set up. A TON of promotion had to happen, we did lots of meetings on it as well which I found very interesting since I'm still very knew to the dynamics of sitting down and being in meetings. I personally feel like I have learned a lot so far and I am starting to feel a lot more comfortable in the workplace.  Somethings that I really enjoy is how open everyone is to my ideas. At first I was scared given that I am the youngest person on the marketing team and I thought I might be looked down on. But it was the complete opposite, people have been super supportive and very kind and everyone has been very open to my ideas. I have been doing a lot...

 This week was a bit shorter of a week due to the holiday so this may be a bit of a shorter blog post. This week on Thursday me and my boss Pat worked on a video for our week of giving. The goal of this video is to help to strengthen our community and provide gifts for those in need.  https://www.instagram.com/p/DRA1PQWCSdY  . Me and Pat created a script thinking about what sounds good and how to talk to make the video appealing and easy to watch. After we came up with the script we filmed the video using our iphones. It took awhile and many failed script attempts but we managed to film the video in about 15 minutes. We downloaded the video and then I got to editing. First I decided what transitions to use when I make videos I use a notepad top create a general layout of what I want it to look like. I started with what video transitions to use and what certain times stamps are for the video like when to insert a image or if we need a sound inserted.  On Friday I film...
