Now, I'm not here to disseminate information about who I work for -- merely a journal to reflect on my experiences as an intern in the very fast paced world of apparel design.
Today started out great, and I got to work immediately. At work, my first project was to redo some yarn dye plaid strikeoffs that I scanned and photoshopped the previous day. Today, instead of scanning the originals and editing them, I recreated the plaid colorways to get a more specific color match for the customers to view. The previous day's try was too far from the original to be acceptable.
Working on the final color palette boards for our upcoming seasonal line, was time consuming but fun to work on. I was able to work and see the entire library of colors available to us.
I recently finished taking a textile quality assurance class, so being able to work in the color lab was pretty sweet! I got to see the color lab techs doing color matches with the ASTM specific lighting conditions and experiments. What they look for? Differences in color under various lighting conditions, caused by a condition called metamerism.
Because of a deadline I was trying to meet with the plaid project, I had to skip lunch at 12pm and worked towards finishing it before the mail room closed.
We were busy today, so much so -- that I didn't even get to see the rest of my fellow interns at all. And we work on the same floor!
Enough for now. I've got to get some sleep and wake up early to do it all over again tomorrow!
