December 31!!!

Last day of the year!!!
I've got contacts over 150 independent radio stations, mostly universities. I have to keep working on this because there are still many contacts to get. That's how I'll end 2013 and how I´ll start 2014.
I hope to finish it early. See you next year!!!

                          Elena Jávega                                            HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The week comes to the end...

Today ends my second week in Esente Music Group.
Time goes fast. Next week is Christmas. Seems like yesterday when I come to Boston, and it was only 3 months ago. I expect to be all the time that I still have in Boston as an intern, learning everything possible from my coworkers.

Elena Jávega

Second week!!

My second week in Esente is also going very fast.
Yesterday we had to leave early because it was snowing a lot. This weather is crazy!!
I'm still looking for independent radio, and I'm learning a lot. I'm doing the search state by state. The last thing I expected from this internship is to learn geography too!

Elena Jávega

Ending the first week

My first week as internship is coming to the end. It happened very fast.
I keep collecting information about radio stations. I never imagined that there are so many college radio stations!
I look forward to the next week.

Elena Jávega

Second day!

My second day is going very fast. I've been busy all the morning collecting contacts about independent radio stations around the country.
We had a meeting the whole team. This makes me feel part of them. For the moment I do not how contribute, but I hope to do it soon.

Elena Jávega

My first day

Hi, my name is Elena Jávega and today is my first day in Esente.
I am from Spain and there I studied Advertising and Public Relations. I´m so exciting with these internship. Be an intern in a company of this level in a country like this is a great experience for me.
I hope to learn about the music business with Esente and help the group with whatever I can.

Last Day

Today marks my last day interning at Esente. I've had a great semester and I'm thankful for the experiences I have had while being here. I got to learn many different aspects of the business and I am excited to carry them through to different opportunities I get in the future. I am thankful for everything I have learned and being able to use my writing skills to spread awareness to great causes, such as bullying and drunk driving. It's been a pleasure being part of such awesome campaigns and I am glad I got to be a part of Esente Music Group for the semester.

Leads

Today finishing up leads for the building & construction section of the Worcester list. Using Manta has been a much better success rather than Merchantcircle.

-Nick Papa

Thursday 10.17.13

  I have been working on a few pieces, that focus on Drunk Driving.  I have finished a couple mock ups.

Also

I have been racking my brain on which one is better.  If anyone has any ideas or constructive criticism, I would gladly take any advice.

The pieces were inspired from an Ad I saw in the magazine Complex

Thursday 10/10

Today I have been compiling different effective images, creating new design concepts, and researching different stats for both drunk driving and bullying.  I have gotten a bit more acclimated to the right now website.  I listened to a few songs of Becca Levy.  I also made a mock version of one of my ads.

Thursday

Today I've been working on leads for the Worcester area. I've been collecting information for automotive businesses. Compared to doing the same research using MerchantCircle, I have been much more successful using Manta.
Thats all for now....Looking forward to the long weekend!

October 3rd

Today I finished up some blog posts for the drunk driving blog and found two interesting stories to summarize. I went on to post on the social media pages for Right Now Against Bullying campaign. After that I started collecting leads using a different site called Manta. I find that Manta is easier to use than Merchant Circle, only because there are less duplicates and they give you more contact information right on Manta rather than having to search the internet for a lot of it.

That's all! It's the weekend...

Flamer's Photo shoot

Today I went into Boston with Jenny for a photo shoot for a client who has a restaurant in the Prudential Center food court. It was interesting working behind the scenes and seeing how a small-scale photo shoot operates. It will be cool to see how the photos are used on the final menu and also how their used on the social media pages. I hope to get the opportunity to go on more photo shoots!

Week Two

First day of week 2 here at Esente Music Group. Had a great weekend and now I'm ready to get back into action. I have been collecting more leads for the health and beauty spreadsheet. I'll most likely go back to finding D.C politicians after lunch. Im excited to work on a larger project in due time. I have also been listening to a ton of Foo Fighters recently.

Joe

The week is coming to an end

Today started off with collecting more leads for heath and beauty businesses in the Springfield area. Before lunch Joe and I met with Laura and Ron to talk about the upcoming website, One Loud Street. Our assignment is to find a way to collect college radio station contact information effectively using internet research so that small bands can get their music played.

-Nick

Finishing Up My First Week

Day three here as an intern with Esente Music Group. Things are heating up today as I learned how to collect leads using internet research. I also met with Ron and Laura to talk about an upcoming project I will be working on with a fellow intern named Nick. This will be the start of the new website One Loud Street. The first step is to collect names of radio stations and their DJS. It's been a very solid first week here, I'm looking forward to whats coming next.....

Joe

Day Two!

Things are running smoothly on my second day at the internship. I've been collecting contact and mailing information on Amusement/Theme parks found in the New England area. It kept me busy for the majority of the day, now I'm moving on to Malls. I'm starting to learn some new names too which is great. One more day tomorrow will complete my first week as a new intern.

Collecting various leads

This morning I've been collecting leads for various industries in the same Springfield, MA area. I've been searching for contact information for health & beauty businesses, education, and entertainment places in that area. A lot of them seem to be independent places, so they don't have much contact information listed.

Nick Papa
Salem State University

Leads

Today consisted of me collecting leads for automotive businesses in the Springfield, MA area. It seems as though most auto repair shops don't have websites or any contact information listed. My guess is they get most of their business from word of mouth. The companies that did have contact information to collect were more of sales companies, dealerships, and towing services.

First Day Interning.....

Hello Bloggers,

My name is Joe Prew, and today I started my Internship with the Esente Music Group. I hope to learn a lot from this experience, and I am very excited to meet new people through this group. I recently graduated from Suffolk University with a BS in Communications. I work part-time as Security for the House of Blues in Boston. I usually focus more towards my writing and gaining as much knowledge on social media as possible. I'm hoping this internship will lead me to a better understanding of the business behind the music. I look forward to posting more on the Intern blog!

Today has been interesting. I've learned how to collect leads and process them into a google doc. I've been looking at businesses in the Springfield, MA area, collecting contact information and some take more research than others to get their information. I've had to search a few on Facebook to collect different information because everything isn't always listed on a companies website.

-Nick

Learning

he past two days have been pretty interesting. Yesterday we met with Ron and Laura to talk about making social media posting much more efficient since there were so many different platforms to update. "Tacticians make the money, not the technicians!" Its a good thing to remember and the meeting was an interesting learning experience.

Yesterday I came up with a few blog posts for the drunk driving blog then a few more for the small business blog, which was a little tougher since I'm not really familiar with what's important for a small business. I learned a lot though.

Well see you Thursday!

Taiyisha

Today I updated the social media accounts for the Right Now against bullying and the two artists, Becca and Jayna. I just finished writing some more posts for our orthopedic client's newsletter.

-Nick

Social Media day

Today the interns met with Ron and Laura to discuss how we can efficiently operate all the different social media platforms for the various campaigns and artists. I'm currently writing posts regarding bullying for our other blogs that will also be able to be shared on Facebook and Twitter. We brainstormed two different approaches and we are going to try them both out and see which works better. I look forward to seeing which works best.

-Nick

September 12th

Today started with me updating the social media sites for the various campaigns and artists we represent. I'm currently in the final stretch of updating a contact list for a client. It's been a lot of interpreting of handwriting, but I'm almost finished!

-Nick 

Day 2....Its going pretty well

Hello again,

So yesterday I left off finding contact information for local politicians in Washington, D.C. for one of artist. It was pretty tough since DC isn't really a state so its government isn't set up the way the rest of the United States is. I had to teach myself about the people that are part of the government then try to find direct contacts for them. It was interesting stuff. I'm excited to find out what I'll be working on today!

-Taiyisha

Another day at the office

Today I've been working on some research about the city one of our artists comes from. I've been looking up contact information for political figures in the area who we can send press releases to. Our goal is to inform them of the work she has been doing and what she has produced over the past few months. I also have been posting to the social media pages as well.

-Nick

Hello Folks!

My names Taiyisha and I'm a new intern here at Esente Music Group. I'm a communications major at Bunker Hill Community College and have a strong interest in music. I absolutely love to sing, I did it all through middle and high school and still continue to in college, but I'm also very opinionated and love to express my opinion through writing.
    I am a very hands-on learner and this internship gives me the opportunity to immerse myself in all the things that I'm learning in school and through research. It also gives me the pleasure of doing something good for other by shedding light on two serious issues that not too many people take that seriously. I'm super excited about taking part in not only the development of an artist but advancing campaigns as important as the one against drunk driving and bullying.

Today I've been working on blog post stories for a client's newsletter section of their website. I researched some sport injury stories and other things to promote a healthy lifestyle. I also updated some of the social media pages, too.

-Nick

Day 2

It's my second day in the office and today I've been managing and posting to the different social media pages for Becca, Jayna, and the Right Now Against Bullying page. I've been finding inspiring and motivational quotes and photos to post on the various pages to spread the word. Currently, I'm working on some blog posts for Ron's blogs. I'm just searching for good, interesting articles to help capture the reader's attention regarding bullying and drunk driving.

-Nick 

Continued Future

Second day interning, and I have already posted some Big statements about Bullying on some of the twitter and Facebook accounts of our music talent (Becca Levy, Jayna Lininger). The posts do seem overly poetic i guess, but i believe that's the right mindset to reach the best approach.. Fine tuning the typing and ten key skills while inputting contact information on excel. That's about all Ive got for now.
Still motivated.

Day 1 Of The Future

My Name is Eloy Munoz, and today is my first day interning here at Esente. I am impressed and motivated by the network of people looking to change the world. I also share the same desire to raise the awareness of drunk driving and bullying to a level that everyone can identify with. The desire to set a new threshold of awareness of Bullying and D.D. and making people fell good about it while exposing great and positive music is the best way to reach everyone. I look forward to meeting new people and learning beyond my expectations.  Music and positivity is the international language and medicine. I hope to be vital part of that voice and vaccine.

First Day Interning!

It's my first day at Esente and it's going great so far! My name is Nick Papa, I'm currently a student at Salem State University and studying public relations with a minor in marketing. I grew up in Beverly and just recently moved to Peabody. I love everything about summer, especially going to the beach and being with my friends. I have a german shepherd and love taking her hiking and she loves to swim. I also love to travel. I'm excited to see what is in store for me at Esente this semester. So far, today, I've been doing some write-ups about bullying and managing the social media pages. It feels good to be doing something to make a difference.

Last Day

A true graphic designer processed an idea and / or concept and communicate visually. You must also possess the knowledge to develop a work that can be interpreted easily by the public. In turn you must know the visual environment and analyze the market and aim to communicate, to deliver quality work in compliance with customer expectations. Graphic designer's work covers broad spectrum, ranging from select, organize, prioritize, interpret, structure and decode the information and translate it to bring in a creative, innovative and original. Visual communication should be shocking and grab the attention of the viewer.

A good graphic designer seeks to convey the essential ideas of the message clearly and directly, using for this different graphic elements that will shape the message and make it easily understood by the recipients thereof.

Jorge Herrera

Graphic Design 

As designers we are like to put our hands we love to direct the operation, the need to solve problem and start creating is our passion, for something we are dedicated to this, but it is often necessary to set aside the project of today and start thinking about the future, analyzing where we are and see where we are going.

Planning and goal achievement

This requires thinking to where we want to go, which is what we want to achieve, and in this way we can trace the path to achieve it, this is very important to visualize, transform those dreams into activities and activities into goals.

Through goals we can have a clear objective we want to achieve, whether it be the best illustrator, break into to some branch of design, achieving that position you've always dreamed of or creating a new product, the goals are personal and go hand in hand with your personality, which is why it is very important to be clear at all times where you're getting at

Graphic Design

Recently I have been trying to learn 3D modeling with Zbrush I thought it was a skill I should have give that in today's market is not enough to know how to use all of adobe suite you also have to have programming knowledge, 3D animation and photographic skills soon enough 4 years of college won't be enough to know all that, I am beginning to wonder if the nature of graphic design have change already or if it is just ignorance from  people that hire us.  I am definitely done with Massachusetts cover and now on to Connecticut. I will start first with research some first sketches to work on the composition  the gather images for the graphics and last the color I expect to be  done by tomorrow.

Last Day

I'm the last intern left, and I'm not really sure what to say at this point. I feel like I'd just be reiterating what I said in yesterday's blog. After lunch I'm going to do my best to finish my animation. If I don't I'll finish it at home and email it in, but I'd like to get it done today. I'm not really sure who Ron wants to do the voiceover so I guess I was always going to do the final version after my internship was over anyway. As long as the animation parts are done though it's fine.

Christine Clancy
Graphics Intern

Seems like I'm the only intern left today. My last day here is tomorrow, and it's been a pretty good summer here. I've enjoyed it and I'm proud of the projects I've been able to work on here. I think I definitely improved as an artist, and gained some perspective on the business side of things. If anything this internship has helped prepare me for employment.

Last Day

     Today is my last day at Esente! I am feeling pretty sad about it so I've been listening to a lot of upbeat music to brighten my mood. I started the morning collecting leads for the list that I started yesterday, which was Autos for Springfield, MA. It had over 20 pages on Merchant Circle and I got to page 19 so it's a bit annoying that I couldn't finish it in time, but I guess not the end of the world. It's weird to think that this is going to be my last time blogging and collecting leads as an intern here.
     After lunch I'm going to check a website that Amanda asked me to proofread/check to make sure there are no mistakes/that everything is working before the site goes live. Once I finish doing that I'm probably going to work on editing the photos of faces for Ron's "face the facts" of bullying commercial idea. Last week I collected a ton of bullying statistics from the stop bullying now website and I just have to start pasting them onto the foreheads of the faces that I found. That should take a while so it's probably going to be the last thing that I complete here! So strange.

CD Cover

Massachusetts CD is going along well I have a good first sketch all the images I will need the only thing I am unsure is the color scheme that I could use but that's the last part of the project so I'm not too worried about it right now. I have come to thinks that doing project in which you have some emotional investment on it tend to cloud your mind, one self tends to idealized too much what we love instead of looking at it in a objective way if you want to create something meaningful you are going to have to take a step back and go back in with a new perspective detached from any idealized imagery, I know it sounds cold however it is very effective and some what rewarding when you are able to look into your self and see clearly what's affecting you.

CD Cover

I'm almost done with the Massachusetts CD the only problem is the colors I wanted to use doe's really match with the mood of Mass state so I'm thinking of instead of trying color endlessly I could just go back to square one and begin anew maybe it will be better if I do several versions and pick the most successful one. After Mass. My next target is Connecticut which surprisingly is one of the most expensive state to live in behind NYC and LA I know nothing of Connecticut so research should very informative.

Nearing the End

     Today is my second to last day at Esente. It's definitely bittersweet knowing that tomorrow will be my last day. I have learned a lot and have met a lot of really cool people here, but I am ready to go back to school for my senior year. Since I don't study graphic design at school, being a graphic design intern here has really motivated me to start working more on graphics and to try and learn as much about it as I possibly can.
     On Tuesday Becca Levy was here and towards the end of the day I had the chance to watch as she practiced a speech regarding bullying which was later filmed. It was cool to do something new and different and to really see how everything was pulled together. It was also cool meeting her in person since I've heard and read so much about her since she is basically a celebrity for the company. I wish I could have done more things like this all summer, but I'm happy I got to have at least a taste of filming by the end.

day 29 of this so called Fremtiden

Danish is very close to Norwegian (the Norwegian word for Future is Fremtidige). And to make up for yesterday, the Portuguese word for Future is Futuro (same as Italian and Spanish).

Yesterday I didn't post because I was out shooting behind the scenes photos at the filming of Becca's music video. The locations we went to were all very graphic and looked cool in the photographs. It was nice to be able to go outside on a such a nice day, and it was cool seeing how they went about shooting the video and getting all the footage they would need.

When we got back to the office, I edited some of the pictures I'd taken (about 40 out of two hundred something), which came out really good.

This morning I came in later than usual because tonight I'll be doing shooting more behind the scenes photos for Becca's jamspot videos, so I'll be out late.

Today's also my last day here at Esente, and I have to say it was a great summer. I learned a lot, experienced so many new things, and had tons of fun in my 29 days here.

I guess it's time to start that future thing, though.

Last Day at Esente

Today was the last day of my internship here at Esente Music group. It has been a great ride and I ended the summer by going out for a video shoot. Our client Becca Levy is still here and we filmed a video for one of her cover songs. The process was pretty repetitive but still really fun. We went to several outdoor locations for the filming including a cemetery, skate park, under a bridge, and near a river. I was in charge of starting the playback so that Becca could lip sync to the recording.

The crew consisted of two videographers, one makeup artist, one photographer, and several interns to help out. I can tell the video will be awesome when it is done, they got some really good takes. The song that she was singing is going to be stuck in my head for days because I heard it more than 20 times today. Overall it was a fun experience and I feel like I have a better idea of how videos are shot now.

For all of the other interns here at Esente, I wish you all the best of luck going back to school and work and whatnot. You guys made this summer a lot better than I thought it would be. I'll definitely keep in touch with everyone that I can and hopefully I see everyone again at some point. Have a great end of the summer!

CD cover

Mass. cd cover. of all the states I had done this will be probably the most easy to do maybe I can even use my own pictures. For composition I am going to follow the same pattern as the other just so all of them can relate to each other  bit more, the biggest problem will be to find the right color to represent the mood of the state. My first thought was of neutrals colors like greens and orange of course a lot of things can change in the sketching part trying to determinate what is better, what works and what not I would hate to finish a work in its entirely only to find out that I'm not satisfied with anything I did.

The Last Day Cometh'

Welp, like all good endings the hero finally finishes his quest and gets to live his fateful dream to ride away into the sunset and live happily ever after. Unless you're watching Game Of Thrones then your dreams are just brutally slaughtered along with your favorite character.

I did leads today got 74, a nice way to end the season.

My time here at Esente has been great. I've had some laughs, learned a lot, and overall just had a good experience. The employees here were really friendly they even put up with my awful jokes. Met a bunch of other interns that in general were just cool people, hopefully we'll see each other later in life it'd be nice to catch up on old times a few years from now. For the most part I generally was doing something new each day, whether it was taking something new by mself or working in a team to solve a problem. I'd recommend this internship for anybody looking to get a start in the business or music world. You won't regret the choice, plus as a bonus Beverly has some of the best food i've had in a long time. They're all locally owned and the quality of the food shows.

Well  there's not much I can say really, if anyones reading this check out this internship, check out the food in the area, and check out a book for self because the Great and Almighty Reading Rainbow says "Knowledge is Power."

This is Peter Sliva for the Last time signing off,
You stay classy Beverly.

Last blog of the summer

Today is Wednesday...HUUMP DAYYY! (That never gets old!) Anyway, today is my last day as an intern at Esente Music Group, and this my last blog.  Today I was a leads Ninja! Despite some email set backs, I managed to research 40 businesses in Framingham, MA under Healthcare.  This is pretty impressive considering today I am a sniffling mess, thank you allergies!

Today Carolina and I ran a last minute curling iron related errand for the Becca Llevy shoot today.  The rest of the day, I will update the blog for the final time, which is bittersweet as it has become part of my weekly routine.

Reflecting on the summer, I am sad to leave the internship, the other interns and the other employees of Esente, it was a memorable summer to say the least.  I have learned PR experience as well as internet research, and have made some great connections which might prove helpful in the future.  I will miss the internship, however I will NOT miss the commute, it was tough! Well back to the real world of College and such.  I am leaving this internship with a lot of experience and memories.

Last Week

     Today marks the first day of my last day here at Esente. I have learned a lot interning here this summer and I'm going to miss it. Once today is done, I only have 2 days left. I'm ready for summer to end and am excited to move back to Boston and start my senior year at school. Since I studied abroad last semester, I haven't seen many of my friends at school since December, so I am very excited to see them all.
     I have been collecting leads all morning for Building and Construction businesses in Framingham, and when Manta decided to stop working I started collecting leads for Retail Shopping businesses in Weymouth. I collected a total of 50, which is a little below average but we had a late start with leads this morning so I guess it all evens out. After lunch I will probably be working more on the commercial idea that Ron told us about last week. I started collecting pictures of faces that had visible foreheads that we could then later place bullying statistics on top of, as a way to show the viewers to "face the facts of bullying." I collected about 12 good photos so I think that should be enough for now. I also started collecting a bunch of bullying statistics that I found in a bunch of the stop bullying now videos and website. I'll probably start to edit the photos and put them all into black and white and start adding the statistics onto the foreheads later today so that they can all be more unified. I'm excited to be working on something that will be used in a commercial! It's nice to be working on something different than what I have been doing all summer.

Second to last day

Second to last blog entry today and its sort of sad knowing its all gonna end soon. But I started late today because my school was trying to charge me 3 thousand dollars I already paid. So today I recored my lowest ever lead score 14. It hurts just to type it. It's not the lowest score all time score but its definitely the most disappointing to me even if I only did have twenty minutes to collect.

Anyways Becca Levy's here today again she's recording some new material, so it'll be interesting to see how that sort of creative process goes. After that I'll just continue to polish up the 50 work that hasn't been touched yet.

-Pete

Last Tuesday

    Today is my last Tuesday as an intern, and of course Manta crashes...what else is new! Other than that lead research has gone well today, I focused on Framingham, MA collecting furnishings, healthcare, and computer software.

Today is the last day I will update the blog, got to make it a good last one!

Tomorrow is my last day at the internship, going to miss the experience and the people who have shared the experience with me.

day 27 of this so called Mustaqbal

Somali today. Apparently it's an Afro-Asiatic language, but I've never heard it that I know of.

So last week I worked on the 50 project album covers, and I found some pictures I've taken in the past few years that would make cool covers. I'm excited to work through those some more this afternoon and see what I can come up with.

This morning it was back to leads, and of course manta went down again, but I didn't do too badly. And I somehow managed stay awake the whole time. I think it was easy because I was getting really into the music I was listening to and being dancing along in my head.

Becca's in today to do some shooting upstairs, but I'm excited for Thursday. I'm going to be at the shoot on Thursday doing what I did last Monday, which was taking behind-the-scenes shots. It's sad though, because Thursday will also be my last day here at Esente.

My internship will be ending soon, though it seems like I'm one of the last ones to leave. A lot of people have left already, and it's pretty weirdly empty right now. It's been a pretty good experience this summer, and I feel like I learned a lot here.

As for my work, it might take a few all-nighters, but I plan to finish the animation I'm working on by Friday so that I won't be rushing to finish it on my last day (the 20th).

Last Week

Hi ya'll its my last week here at Esente but that didn't stop the leads. This morning I collected market information on the auto industry in Weymouth Massachusetts.  I collected 59 items total today.

Today our client Becca Levy is coming in, she is in the Boston area to record some songs. I look forward to meeting her and seeing the person i've heard so much about. For my work later today, I will probably start to polish up the 50 work in the google doc we created. And it a few interns last day so I'm sure we will celebrate their departure.

3 More Days

The last week of my internship at Esente Music group is finally here. This morning I collected contact information from companies in Weymouth and Framingham. My lead count was 55 and my luck on Manta today was about average.

Our client Becca Levy is in town this week for video shoots, recordings and photo shoots. I'm guessing Ron doesn't want too many people going on the shoots so hopefully I am able to go on Wednesday. Becca and Ron haven't been in the office yet but they are expected to be here at some point today.

I am really excited for tonight because I am going to see Black Sabbath at the Comcast Center! I am leaving a little early today since the show is far away and I have to go back to Haverhill first. A few of the other interns are leaving today and this really is the week that almost everyone is leaving. Good luck to everyone who is leaving, I had a great time this summer meeting you guys.

nostalgia towards leads...say whaaa???

Today is Monday, the start of my last week as an Esente intern.

Last week was very cool because Jayna Liniger was in the office taping promotional videos for her drunk driving project, as well as having photo shoots.  It was awesome meeting the infamous Jayna, as she is a big part of the company, and her voice is amazing!

Today I believe Becca Levy will be in the office, another major singer of the company, and I can not wait to meet her. Some of the other interns met her the  last time she was up for work, of course it wasn't one of my days, I was so annoyed! These two girls are basically the faces of the anti-bullying and drunk driving campaigns, and since I have been working on them, it is awesome to see the stars!

Leads were almost nostalgic today, because I am realizing how doing this research all summer has really changed me! Without realizing it I am automatically looking for contact info on websites while searching Pinterest hunting...the work place has trickled into my DIY!!!  This summer has taught me how to copy and paste and search info for companies...like a PRO! I remember my first day where it took me FOREVER to do just one lead, now I have tabs on tabs on tabs!

Tomorrow is Tuesday, which means updating the buzz blog, but who knows what else!

Last Day

It’s my last day! I can’t believe my internship is over already. I learned a lot of different things. I wrote blog ports for many kinds of business, I conducted e-mail marketing and Internet marketing research, I collaborated with artists, I maintained social media accounts for various businesses and musical artists. I went on a sales call and to a studio recording and photo shoot. I also contributed to a nationwide anti-bullying project.

This experience has been so valuable because of the diversity of what I’ve learned. Esente allowed me to work within the world of music and OnPoint introduced me to that of web design and marketing. Since OnPoint works with so many different types of companies, I was able to market for everything from an orthopedics office to a dance academy.

I will always be grateful for what I have learned here. I wish everyone the absolute best!

Second to Last Week

     This week is my second to last week at Esente, meaning that next week will be my last one here as an intern. I've really enjoyed working here thus far and I am going to miss it. Since I don't study graphic design at school, I'm going to miss designing things on a daily basis. Parts of me wish that I had at least minored in graphic design or some other field of art, but I really do like what I'm studying and I can always go to grad school for art. I do take art classes at my school but graphic design isn't offered at my school, which is a bummer. Most of what I do in graphic design I mostly just teach myself, which is fun yet limiting.
     This morning has been filled with collecting leads, as usual. I collected a total of 50 which is a little below average but my lists were filled with businesses that had no website so a low lead number is to be expected. About an hour ago Ron discussed what he wanted all of the interns to help him with after lunch. He wants us to help him with a few commercial ideas for the anti-bullying campaign with Becca Levy. I'm excited to help out because I like coming up with creative ideas for things like this, so it should be a nice change from what I usually do in the afternoon. Yesterday I finished a few CD covers for the Seattle Rockers Against Bullying 50 Project. These are two ideas I came up with:
