This is the redone blog site with all the previous posts copied over... Wednesday, I will get to my internship early to post some of the material I have been working on visually. There are some images that I worked on in photoshop, some images of the site visits, the start of a marketing contact list, their punchlist form that we used for one of the properties, some space planning material.
Over the past week and a half I have been working on two things: the architectural manager has given me an empty plan of a newly acquired bldg, gave me the requirements of what needs to be included in the addition and asked me to do some space planning. He plans to use his design and combine mine to get ideas he didnt come up with.
I have also been working on a marketing project of developing a contact list of potential tenants for a newly acquired building. This process involves research on companies in the area that have and maintain a fleet of vehicles for the company because the bldg used to be used for fleet management. The process also involves making phone calls to gather more contact info.
Before these two projects, I was given material on a potential billboard for the company. We plan to get a billboard somewhere on the 33 and the marketing manager wanted me to give feedback on the billboard designs that were sent in by the company as well as come up with a couple of my own which were done in photoshop.
Over the past two weeks there have also been 2 or 3 site visits to see progress on renovations and take some pictures on certain aspects of the spaces to make sure they were done correctly and if anything else needs to be done.
**I will post more about this stuff and past stuff visually on Wed during the day sometime when I am at work where all the work is saved.

Day 6: Fri 3/4
Worked on possible plaque designs for the main hallway/corridor in the Electric Tower. They want plaques next to all the images they have lined up on the walls of the corridor so I worked on that and also went through all the images and Electric Tower history to come up with writing for each image.
Day 5: Wed 3/2
Finished up some more of the photoshop work on the wall murals. Went to 6467 Main st (one of their properties) to do walk through a space that was getting done for a tenant to move in. We were supposed to do a punchlist, but there wasn't enough done to complete a final punchlist. We discussed what wasn't done well, what will need to be redone, what people needed to be talked to about their work and we discussed how the new tenant will be using/how they wanted the space designed.
Day 4: 2/25
Worked on different choices for a back wall mural for the rear entrance of the electric tower. Went through images to choose from and used photoshop with an existing photo of the blank wall to put the possible choices in place on the wall.
Day 3: Wed 2/23
Day 3: 12pm-5pm, Finished workin on fixing up the image in photoshop, visited one of their properties near the corner of Delaware and Kenmore to look at some of the interior work being done and help with a couple interior design decisions. Went to the Electric Tower downtown to see the building and different spaces they have in there, learn about the history and see some of the construction they did and are currently doing on it, learned about their plans for some of the floors that have not been redone yet. This includes the basement plans, several floors that are going to be redone to make into leasable space.
Day 2: Fri 2/18
Day 2: 12pm-5pm, Searched through some more Electric Tower images and information. Received information and login info for the content management system and their website to go through. Was given an image to take into photoshop to fix up for some marketing material.
