This morning I came in bright and early to print off the brochures I made over the weekend. This project was a little different because I didn't check in with anyone before calling it done. I had Tim give me his opinion, but other than that I got to call it. This job was a little bit of a reality check because it wasn't something I was super proud of or anything that was terribly original. It made me realize that sometimes a brochure is just a brochure, and while it's not amazing and beautiful, it's also not bad. When I would do a class assignment the goal was always to create something amazing and ground breaking. However, that's not always going to be possible in the real world. It's not that I'm aiming for mediocrity, I have just realized that setting my goals so high will lead to a lot of frustration and probably no sleep.
The afternoon I continued to work on the icon for seed company links. I'm getting a little frustrated with this because the final product is going to be very small and my illustration just isn't translating. We also had a meeting for new employees and "unaware" employees to go further in depth with the placement program. Those of us who don't constantly work on the code don't necessarily know how exactly it's being used and what each input variable means. The meeting was to go (thoroughly) over the raw data and algorithm of the placement program. Just about everything is clear to me now; I can see how each company can adjust the inputs and why they use what they do. I also understand some of the problems the developers have been handling, especially the bad data. I really appreciate knowing this because I think it's important for me to thoroughly understand how we work and why seed companies use us.
