Placement – Day 1
April 22, 2010We started our placements at a company called GTI on monday the 19th at around 9.30. Dommi, Sam and myself met in Bournemouth center and made our way to the place where would spend the next 2 weeks working. When we arrived we were buzzed into the building made our way to the second floor where we signed in and met the people we would be working with. We were sat infront of our computers and Joe (one of the people working for the company) asked us what kind of stuff we could do, enjoyed doing and what programs we could use. The he listed off 3 different projects for us to fight over, I chose to do a piece of flash for a companies website homepage. After Dommi and Sam had chosen theirs we got to work, the piece I created was made using several pictures from the website, some transitions and some text, it was a simple piece which i felt was in keeping with the simple style of the website and the professional look of it. Then I sent it to Joe and he sent it on to the company (and now its on their website which is fun)
Then later that day after completing the first task I was given my second project, I was asked to create a carousel listing a websites clients. I started it straight away by lining all of the logos of the clients up in Photoshop, but unfortunately it was time to leave before i got a chance to finish.
Overall the first day was enjoyable and i felt like i learnt something.
