Today I came into the store and started uploading the photos to edit them and crop them for the web site. This took a while As I needed to make sure Hanson, my supervisor liked each one that I picked. After doing that I took a brake and went into the kitchen to learn some interesting things about the candies they were making and what all went into the production part of the company. As a person writing about the products Hanson thought it was very important for me to learn about what I was writing press releases about and really learning about the food and how it is prepared... I also tried many of the sweets so I could later upload comments and news on the Indie candy blog on Facebook.

Today I came in and had a project to do. My project was to take photos of the products in the store, upload them, edit them, and put them on the web site using the Web page Volusion.

It was really interesting taking pictures of the products because they were what the press releases were about and it was fun to use some of my skills form photography class I took. Today I only got to take the pictures and upload them to my computer as there were about 500 pictures I took of all the products. It was fun and I also posted some of my favorites to my blog that look particularly good for marketing and other press realeases and brochures. These pictures will also be used on these products that I will make for the company all throughout July.

Today At my internship I started calling different PR newswire firms and getting qotes on the annual amounts for there services on putting out press releases. I also started looking at the web site and also looking at the facebook page for Indie Candy and researched some other candy stores to see what kinds of things could be added to the web site or facebok page. I also went over the press release with Hanson, the president/ CEO and turned in the final copy after editing it. The last things I did was fill out an application for the PR Newswire and also looked at a few settings for the press releases.

Today was my first day at my internship at indie candy. This was my first day so I got a run down on all the products at the store and was introduced to my projects which was to start a press release for the new product cotton candy. I was supposed to also research the web page and write a press release about the store and the new additions. I also set up a gmail account for the store and wrote several emails to sister companies.
