Today was a little less eventful, but I was still able to get in some work for GD. They looked into reviving their social media accounts such as on twitter, instagram, etc. and they told me to think about possible interesting insights I could note and help them post things that are more relevant form my perspective and would appeal to my type of audience or generation type.
They also run a blog page that they asked me to possible search for and save images for in the future. Tyler asked me to write a small piece for the blog about the Pantone’s Color of the Year: Living Coral. I was able to read a few articles on the color, and their ultimate decision in picking that color, and write about my own takeaways and conclusions about it. I ended up talking a lot about the impact on the environment and the the significance of the color it has on me and possible others in the community.
On the way to lunch, Tyler told me a little about college admissions and the whole process of appealing to the council. He was/still is a college educator and was able to give me valuable insights on how I should approach my application/essay process. An important thing I learned is to always stay resourceful, even without the right tools or programs for it, it shows that you are always able to get the job done, and that you aren’t reliant on technology or software to help you do your job or what you need to get done.
