Along with the poster, I made table tents for the tables in the Union. I used the same photos, but just moved them to create an interesting composition in the background.
The poster for the Pete Simpson talk on the mural in the Union is pictures I took of the actual mural. It was hard to get a good picture because there was glare from the windows and sun. I had to take the picture into photoshop and cover up the glares very carefully. It was not easy but I think it came out all right considering the situation. I also cut out the bucking horse from another photo of the mural that I added in the bottom left hand corner.
My boss Kim had me make announcements for the MSLI Graduation. I used circles and the same colors from the logo and drew graduation caps to resemble the logo and used the same colors for some accents in the corners. The black background helps the colors to pop.
I have kept up with the Recyclemania competition by updated the graph that goes on the digital signs and the graph that hangs in the Union Skylight Lounge. I think students seeing the results helped UW in the end to really boost the number of stuff people recycled.

Along with the Facebook page, the digital signs have been keeping me busy with creating new ads and posting ads for other organizations. I still put up what movies FNF are playing each week with the background I created. This way if someone is just passing by the digital signs they are informed about what FNF is showing. I also get posters from FNF and SAC advertising their events so I put them on the signs. I think it really helps to have their posters on the signs and it increases the number of people that attend the events.
The rest of the semester at my internship has been really good. I am still managing the digital signs, the Union Facebook page, and do a little work on the Union website. The Facebook page has really been taking off. We now have over 700 people that like the page! Our initial goal was only 400! It is really exciting! I have been taking pictures and videos of Friday Night Fever events, SAC events, and other events going on in the Union. I then post them to the Union Facebook page so all our fans can see them. I have also had help from volunteers of the programs. I would give them the camera sometimes when I could not be there so they could take pictures. Everyone has been really great at keeping the fans informed of all the events going on in the Union. They have helped make the page a success!

So far this semester I have really enjoyed my internship. I have taken on new responsibilities and feel I have managed everything pretty well. I cannot take all the credit though because I have had a lot of help from my boss Kim, and many people in the Campus Activities Center. They have all helped to make the Facebook page a success with over 500 people that like it. I like working at my internship more than going to my none-major classes like geography and finance, ha ha!
