Branding

Here are some sites I found about branding:

1. Pigeon Branding and Design
This is a Canadian company and they have designed for some major corporations, which are shown in their portfolio. They also have some interesting links to their online newsletter, such as the importance of naming in branding.

2. Firedog
Firedog is another cool site I came upon. They are a London based graphic design branding company who have done work with major corporations, such as BBC. They present themselves as a hip and down to earth design agency.

3. Tangled Spider Design Group
TSDG's website shows the wide range of responsibilities that comes along with branding a company. Their portfolio allows you to choose one of the clients they have worked for and then leads you to a page to see all the different types of work they have done for that one client. Their website design is also very innovative and fun to navigate through.

4. What is Branding and How Important is it to Your Marketing Strategy?
This site guides you in considering all the angles of building a brand, lesson by lesson.

Crazy Day

Well, my first day at Randall-Paulson was pretty crazy. Mainly because the night before I got incredibly sick, throwing up 3 times that night and only getting 1 hour of sleep...if that. Needless to say, I was not to happy that morning. But after I got to Roswell, an hour early...and got into the office things went really well. Everyone in the office is really nice and helpful. The first day was pretty much taken up with paper work, a tour of the office, and meeting everyone. Teri, my mentor took me out to lunch which was very nice of her. The other people we ate with were also very nice and funny. Then after lunch I got my first assignment. I was really scared that I wasn't doing it right and that I was completely incompetent. But hopefully I'll learn in the time to come. The office environment seems really friendly, I love the atmosphere. Everyone there seems like friends which is cool. So, next Friday will be another story and hopefully I'll get more than an hour of sleep!

Yay

The most exciting thing happened yesterday and today! I got the job! I'm going to be a graphic design intern at Randall-Paulson! I'm so excited. I am nervous about the first day and hope I do well. I start this Friday...it is so crazy. I'll let you know how it goes come Friday night. =)
