Meeting people

This morning I went to an event. The Government Video Expo(2011), This is my first meeting people kind of event I have been to. Not filming anything, we went there to check out the small convention, full of awesome people, and great companies. The elevator pitches that we had come up with a few months ago were a great help!
 When it comes to meeting people in a professional environment, you need to overcome any shyness that you normally have, and have a firm greeting and handshake. I've been working on mine personally, and my greeting is weak, but my handshake is great. Not good enough.

"Hi, I'm Amber of double r productions. I am an intern production assistant. I specialize in graphic arts and 3d modeling."
Unfortunately it doesn't come out like that, but it is a work in progress!

People ask about your company! Weather you are an intern or the company owner, you need to know who you are working for and what you do! Things to look into for the future. Keep at it!

Throw your shyness out of the window!

Outside sources

Sometimes when working on a project you need outside sources, knowledge of what you are working on. If it is a tech company generally you wouldn't want to use something like fruit for a logo. But it could be their thing. So studying into the company you are working on is a must!
Also When working on a project and staring at the same screen for how ever long, you need outside eyes to look into your project. plus it is great for them to see the small things you missed!

While working on the marketing picture for the Jam company I needed to get outside eyes to see where I was going too light or too dark, also those little spelling mistakes are so easy for other people to see.
