Day 2: My First Day At Work...Real Work...

I met Aaron at the studio and got right to work. Aaron's first task was to organize some of his props from a shoot he recently did. The shoot was for a new novel that was coming out and he did the key art for it (cover, dust cover etc). Afterwards I was also asked to organize all of Aaron's software into a cd binder. I saw every version of Photoshop from Photoshop 3.0 to CS5. It was pretty cool seeing how technology had progressed from when he began to what he uses now.

After a good job thanks to my organizational skills, I got to watch Aaron do the post processing on the book cover he just shot. He taught me so much about how he shot it to make it work well with the background he had made from stock photos. I learned A LOT of new Photoshop techniques and skills. He also taught me a lot about how to make proofs for clients, and how to correctly gauge CMYK color gammets. An awesome day no doubt. By the time I left I had filled up 3 sheets of notes.

Quote of the Day: Aaron: Can you save the box to my photoshop 3.0? It holds sentimental value.

                              Erik: Wow, I cant believe this. Its like a museum of photoshop.  My first was CS2.
          
                             Aaron: ...yeah...I feel old...
