First Finished Job

So I printed my first job, and in the graphics world, its never quite finished until it's printed. Paul told me Thursday at lunch he needed this poster and logo by Friday afternoon. . .(gulp) sure! Needless to say, I had something to keep me pretty busy. Thew and I went into work early on Friday to get some work done and after a few versions and approvals and passes we finally got the finished product at 6:00p.m. But we needed to get them printed out by Saturday. But at 6 we had a dinner, then one of Keynotes acts is David Pendleton (hilarious ventriloquist) and he came in and gave us a show which was also open to the public for free as a form of outreach. He was awesome. Then we had an open night mic, which I'll explain later. Afterwards we headed back to the office to print it out. I asked Vicki how many she wanted she said, "um, we'll start with 50 11x17s" and I was like DANG! So we ended up printing 1000 quarter sheet fliers, 30 11x17-inch posters, and 30 8.5x11-inch fliers that night. Except, the printer was messing up, so the printer would only take orders of 10 sheets at a time, and we needed 250 pages just for the quarter inch fliers. . . . long story short, we left about 3am Saturday morning. It was good real life experience and thanks to Fernando for making us true art majors who work late until the wee hours of the mornings finishing a job. Today, Monday, we printed out 400 more quarter sheet fliers and some more 8.5x11 and 11x17s. So I can kind of start to understand why they were so careful about every detail. But the poster was for an outreach that is this Saturday, June 5th. Three of Keynote's full time band's are playing and they'll be kids games,  free concerts, and food vendors as a type of outreach. So if you want to be praying for that it would be cool. But for now I'm going to head to bed and get some sleep.
