After reading 15 Reasons I Think You Should Blog I believe there are multiple reasons for why there is a purpose for blogging. The most important reason why I will blog is to become more confident, become a better writer and thinker, have a more intentional life and inspire others. These reasons will keep me more focused to write and publish my blogs every week and will drive me to make the most out of my mentorship experience. By keeping an accurate record of my daily activities, I will also be able to recall what I did each day at my mentor site. I plan to use my blog for my Senior Capstone and for reference for future employers and colleges. I look forward to keeping my blog and am excited to start my experience.

Today I met with Benjamin, who showed me about Digital Imaging. He was working on editing photos for a client with selling yard products. He was using images that Kreber shot offsite for these lawn products. He was photoshopping and editing light. Some of the products that were shot were Roundup and weed killer. By editing photos, he was able to make the grass brighter and the light, appear lighter. He could blur out imperfections in the photo and in the background to bring the actual product to a more focal point. He was able to flip certain parts of the photo to edit as well. It was interesting to see all of the images corrected behind the scenes. I didn't realize that much effort went into making a perfect shot. September 26, 2018 Today when I got to Kreber, Melissa had some other things going on so she put me in touch with Abigail, who is an Art Director. She is part of the team that's working on the new website launch. Today she was showing me pictures she was editing from our photoshoot last week. I was able to see examples of cropping and color correcting of these shots. These images were focused on the fall and Halloween items that are relevant now. There will be future photoshoots with a holiday theme that I will get to participate in, in the future. I also met and spoke with Gabriel today who is a copywriter at Kreber. I look forward to working more in depth with her in future visits. September 27, 2018 Today when I got to Kreber I met with Deanne. Yesterday she was out of town at a meeting with Club Car, one of their clients. Today she got back and shared with me all the power points the company proposed to Club Car with new ideas and how they were going to further their project together. The presentation included new ideas to sell their products, potential revenue they will make and a calendar timeline of the events to occur. September 18, 2018 Today was my first day mentoring with Kreber Marketing Agency & Photography studio. When I arrived I was greeted by Melissa Simmerman, Director of Creative Strategy and Deanne Staley, Account Director. I was given a tour of the offices and the photography studio. I was able to meet all team members, including Jim Kreber, owner of Kreber Studios. Everyone made me feel very welcome. It made me think how grateful I am for this opportunity with them. I also was able to sit in on a sales meeting today and was able to observe that discussion. Melissa also mentioned that during my time at Kreber, I would be able to help out with social media for the company. September 19, 2018 Kreber is in the process of updating and relaunching their website. Today was a photoshoot day were team members were photographing fall images for this launch. I was able to participate and assist with pulling together props. I went outside and spray painted props, also wrapped cardboard to assist with background and getting props ready to style the set. September 20, 2018 Today I spent the day with Deanne. She is the Account Director. She showed me several powerpoint presentations that are shown to clients to pitch new ideas and concepts. Club Car is a client that they have done business with for awhile. I was able to several different concepts that they have pitched to them and all the work that goes into meeting the clients needs. Deanne will be out traveling next week, giving a prevention for Club Car, so I will have opportunities to meet with other team members during this time. |
