First day work at Onion Boy (10-4pm with no break time)

Now I start to record what I did for my internship as a report diary.
What I gonna say is that I am really surprised that they gave me really design job to a starter like me to handle. I was quite frustrated at first because I don't know how to start and I had a really bad habit that I prefer to work alone without anyone around and have lots of reference books around me but then I have to overcome this and just do whatever I can today. I heard this phrase from somewhere I couldn't remember that it takes time and courage for a designer to show of their work, and no matter how good or bad it is, you - a viewer - has to appreciate that and comment them with passion and encouragement. (and please forgive me if I cited wrong, but that is what I remember). Anyway, at the end of the day, my graphic design college had given me a good finger for my logo design, and I found it really encouraging and Martin, thank you very much. I will try my best.

What I did for today is basically design the logo/icon for the portfolio brochure which contains around 8 designers/photographers work including myself. They said they want to show designers' works to promote and also for later can be a category for clients to find their desire graphic designers whose style suit their needs.
I found it also really surprised when they ask me to include my work in their brochure design??? Am I good enough???
Then I have to come up with a template or layout for the brochure. At first, my boss wants to brochure in landscape format to be fitted inside the CD box (18x12cm) or at least the CD size (12x12cm). But then for better and saving printing cost, he changed the size to 210x140mm which you can print 2 spreads in 1 SRA3. We kind of discussed the idea of folded brochure but then it has to be printed on A1 size then cut off which is costed around a few thousands dollar compared to a few hundreds for the first idea. We then decided on the 1st one.
My duties are to design to cover, the info page and drafting out the layout for the brochure. And I found it quite funny when we worked on the name for the book brochure. He wants a theme for the book which is "Think creatively outside the square" but still consistent and original. I then came up with a few names and among them are: Outside the box, beyond idea... We then kind of decided on the name "Think outside the box" and I have to try to design them into a icon or playing with typography instead of using illustration or image to represent the idea.
He asked me and Mar to discuss the template before I leave so that we don't waste time on the project because I am not coming tomorrow because of the driving test. But then, Mar said he doesn't know what to discuss because he had no idea and tell me to think about that then do it later on. I somehow felt that the boss and Mar opinions are kind of opposing which I found sometimes hard for me because I am in the middle.According to what I heard, I am completely understand that they just don't really understand each other and interpret each other opinion wrongly. I will try to contribute more so that they won't oppose anymore.

First day and so many need to deal with plus my own self pressure, I am really worn out. Moreover, he said we will work on this project maybe 2 months and later on develop and A1 version and need me to communicate to the other Vietnamese designer in VN the concept and method... But 4 weeks later, I promised I am gonna do intern at Digital Eskimo which I really like and wished I could work there long time ago. What am I gonna do?
My mum told me don't think too much. Just contribute as much as I can and if there is nothing go wrong then I just stay and work for Onion boy and ask my friend to replace my position at Digital Eskimo (Jaclyn I think of you). But then in the meantimes, we don't know anything about the next 4 weeks what is gonna happen, then just work without any second thought.
There is a proverb said: "Don't stand in one mountain and yearn for the other higher one". My mum added: "If you change your 1st job so quick without reason, then the 2nd, the 3rd, ... one, you may find yourself keep changing job". It is like a 1st bad sign that might affect the later". I am wondering, but I still believe in what she said I promised myself I will do my best and leave the rest upon later to decide since you will never know what it gonna happen even tomorrow.

End the diary for 1st working day, later record maybe shorter.
Ah and hope that I will pass the driving test tomorrow. "Grandpa, please protects and assists me"
