Third Week Assignment

Describe one significant activity or project that you have completed or are working on currently.

Time flies, the third week of internship was already end!! Another week is coming! i need a good rest! :)
Well, as i wrote in the past few entries, I worked with the 'smartbook' program in the Apple computer to make a catalog. So far, I compiled two books already, they all looked fabulous :]
The first book I worked on was for an artist called Roslind Solomon, she just had an exhibiton now until April. The second book was for Barbara Morgan, a photographer that had an exhibition in the gallery two years ago.
To make a catalog was not really hard, but you need to be careful about the details, to make a mistake was really easy and you don't even notice. The first page of the catalog was a press release, which was the information about the book, then the biography about the artist came next. These two things were easy to do, it could always find in the server, i just need to copy and paste. The next thing was to import photos and choose the appropriate layout for each page of the book, it could goes werid, so I usually spent a long time to do it and make sure there were no mistakes. After I drag all the images, the book was almost finish. The last thing to do was the List of Plates, It was a list of information on the back of the book that included the titled, year and sized of each images. Then I can order the book online and done :)
The third week was not a fresh week, as I wrote above, I just made a book and it was the second book i made. I still like it a lot because compare to the first book while my mentor help me with everything, this time i done it all alone and tried to solve problems by myslef first instead of ask my mentor immediately. However, this week was a good week for me but also tired. Hopefully the next week would goes well too:)

I became more busy in the second week. Actually i just did one thing for the whole week,which was to work with their art system to update information for some art pieces, but there were tons of information to updated, i felt dizzy..lol..

Compare to the first week, i felt less strange and became more familiar for my works.

Basically, i like everything. Something that was special happen last week was i saw Robert Frank in the gallery. He's a photographer.
