I can honestly say today was the most hectic and busy day in a while. I arrived thinking we would need to work on the wristbands and the banners that were requested yesterday but when i met with my boss it turned out we were changing the size on three documents for the alumni weekend rsvps, info sheet, and invite. I knew that it was going to be a busy day. We had to get some more details on the size/printing on the rsvps so I went to work on the banner that the president of the chiefs would eventually see (cool right?). I really impressed them with my first one so I wanted to do something equally as cool or even better. i worked on that for a majority of the morning and then before lunch I started on the resizing for the rsvps and all. I also had to recreate a jpg image for a power point and save it as an eps, but this took no time at all. I have been learning so much and getting a lot quicker at things. It is going really well so far and I have some cool stuff to show. I cant wait to see it all printed out. Until then...

Another hectic/eventful day here at the Chiefs. I came into today thinking I would finish the wristbands I had been working on but instead I was thrown completely different projects that were more important. I was eager to get to work for sure. I had been assigned to one project where I would create a fictional billboard for budweiser which I was looking forward to. Before I could get to that I had changes on the hall of honor/chief alumni weekend invites and rsvp forms. These took a big chunk of the day. I also had to make a minor change to the back of the coca cola t shirt. The rest of the day I spent creating the image used for the fictional billboard which would be on a power point. Later on when I showed my boss she said it turned out awesome and was really impressed so I was extremely happy. Today was a good day.

Mondays always seem to be busier than most and today was no exception. I came in early and tried to finish up the wristbands I had been working on Thursday but did not get far before my daily meeting with my boss at 9. We had a lot on our plate for the day. I primarily had to finish up the hall of honor rsvp form and invites I had been working on because they had finally been reviewed and ready for revisions. Other things on my to do list was to update the season ticket holder parking pass cover and also to finish up the back of the coca cola coin toss t shirt. Some other projects were on the list but I started on the others to get them out of the way. The morning was spent on the rsvp and invite making changes and collaborating with some people to get them ready for print. I also finished up the parking pass cover before lunch. After lunch it seemed the work load kept increasing, some other projects came up and I spent time of those for the remainder of the day. It was mainly resizing or editing type so nothing too special. Tomorrow I will need to finish up the wristbands for sure. Until then...

Today has been one of the slowest and weirdest days here at Arrowhead. A majority of the organization, including players and coaches along with front office people, went down to Joplin today to help with relief type stuff for those affected by the tornado. Only a few of us stayed back and worked on things and for the most part I only did one project all day, a rarity here. The project was to redesign wristbands for a suite here at the stadium during games. Each wristband had to be the same obviously so after coming up with a template it was pretty easy. I did wristbands for every home game, making a total of 10 wristbands. I also had to burn some cds with files on them but other than that it was just another day!

Today started off by doing some more work on the Coca Cola Coin toss t shirt. I already have four options to show but I would like to have a couple more and my boss agreed. I worked on those in the morning and thoughout the first half of the day I also did a web banner for a fan invite. The invite had to be less than 99 kb for the web and in RGB obviously. After the banner I finished up the foil cover for the suite manual. After lunch I finished up the t shirts and sent them off for approval. As if I thought the kids club brochure was dead I met with another person to brainstorm on new cover ideas. The last part of the day I got feed back from people about the t shirts and they had picked up one to "tweak." I spent the rest of the day tweaking that.

No work for me today. I am off to a job interview in St. Louis with a marketing company. Wish me luck!

Thursday

Wednesday

Tuesday

Monday

Friday

Changes/revisions/ad-ons/etc is what I did for most of the day on Friday. The tickets needed dates changed, sentence add ons and other things. It may sound small but for twenty six tickets it was a lot! I also finished up the Taylor Swift ad as well as the Fall classic. I got them approved by my boss, she thought they were cool which is a plus, so now the next step is to get more approvals.

Thursday

I finished up the parking passes and training camp credentials late in the day on Wednesday and today I sent a follow up email asking to get any feedback/changes to be done. Again I started to plug away on the yearbook ads and started to make some progress on them. For the Pitt. State game I wanted to do something nostalgic/classic seeing as the game is called "The Fall Classic." so today I started working on it and trying to come up with something cool to show my boss. I am also working on the MU vs. KU game ad but think I will need to scrap my current idea and come up with something better. I guess we will see!

Wednesday

I came in on Wednesday and went right to work on the MU vs. KU ad until our daily meeting at 9:00. It was then when I got assigned some new projects. One of them was to revamp our training camp sticker credentials and our single game parking passes. Both of these have multiple pages and versions that need to be done but following a previous template made the project easier. All the while of doing this project I also worked on the yearbook ads including the Taylor Swift, Pittsburg State vs. Northwest Missouri State game, and the back to training camp ad. I am really excited about these yearbook ads because it is something right up my alley. Limited text and heavy photo/image creation.

Tuesday

Today I arrived at the Chiefs and got an email saying the t shirt got approved and they love it. It felt really good to get that kind of approval. The morning was spent on the yearbook ads I had been assigned and my boss told me I was to get all these done by Friday. I got right to work on the MU vs. KU ad and spent the majority of the day on that. We are limited on pictures, logos, and other things we can use on this because it is a college team and they only send us a limited amount of stuff. Hopefully I can come up with something really cool and get approved.

Monday

Today I came to work and tweaked the Junior Cheerleading shirts I had done on Friday. On Friday we weren't really close to having options, I only had one strong design really so my boss had me do more today and I came up with some great stuff. She was proud of me! It felt good to succeed. We are going to show the cheer coach and some other important people and see what they think. I also worked more on the MU. vs. KU game yearbook ad and a small map change.

Friday

I spend today starting the MU. vs. KU game yearbook ad and finishing the Taylor Swift yearbook ad. I also did numerous little things...so many I cant remember when it comes time to blogging (so many things to do!)

thursday

I arrived to work eager to finish my t-shirt designs for "Spirit Day" when we realized, my boss and I, that they were not due until August. We decided to immediately switch gears and start on other projects. The other projects include a re-size of an ad, a new brochure based on previous ads we had done and three yearbook ads, 8.5 x 11, that will be in the Chiefs 2011 yearbook. I am excited to start these considering one is the Pitt. St. vs. Northwest football game thats going to be at Arrowhead. Should be a really cool assignment. The other two are a Taylor Swift concert ad and the MU. vs. KU border war game. I cant wait to start on these.

Wednesday

Just as I thought I would be done with the Kids Club brochure Wednesday was spent "finishing up" on it. Will the madness ever end??!!!! Just kidding it has been fine, I think today we are finally finished with it and ready to move onto other things. The next thing on the agenda was to make changes to the new tshirt design. The rest of the day was spent doing these changes.

Tuesday

Kids Club Kids club Kids club..it has been all I think about since last week and it still needs more work. We are close but still need to tweak a few things. It seems as if the type always needs "massaging." If you move one thing, then all the type gets messed up. Oh well. I continued to work on that all day while also getting back the tshirt approvals. They went with a simple design, but it still looks good. Definitely a re-wearable tshirt.

NO WORK! HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

Friday

The days get mixed up with all the work around here. It has been crazy all week and Friday may have been the craziest. The day seemed to be filled with little stuff, fixing maps, resizing logos, and photoshopping logos into pics...all stuff that is pretty common. The only thing is that on top of these small projects, we still needed to work on Kids Club brochure. It has been going on and on and on. Changes still need to be done though and whenever it gets approved by one person, it seems another needs more changes. Hopefully we can move on and start on something else. I was also assigned a employee appreciation day tshirt design request and worked on that friday. We gave the head people three options and on tuesday we will see what they picked! Whoo! Happy weekend to all.
