<h1>SUMMER OF BITCOIN 2024</h1>
</header>
<img src="/images/TBL Full Logomark Hero Animation.gif" display="block">
<p>This Summer I will be interning for The Bitcoin Layer as their Content Manager where I will help managing and orchestrating the company’s social channels and content. Due to the holiday weekend at the start of my internship, meeting my mentor for onboarding was a bit postponed. After a brief time meeting Matt, my mentor, proved to be more exciting and joyous as I learned a bit about Matthew’s background as a designer. His background and current position as a Lead UX/UI Designer at Fortune 500 company GE affords Matt the experience needed to teach me how to operate within corporate spaces. </p>
<p> I have always been intrigued by the process of how corporate entities aggregate objectives and align designers with the objective that best matched their goal. My day-to-day process includes reviewing emails and discord messages from the previous night or weekend if it is a Monday. When it comes to my design process, I tend to go straight to sketching first impressions. Doing so helps me relieve myself of eager ideas and even rid myself of previous bias before proceeding to my next step. </p>
<p> After preliminary sketches are done I usually move forward with market and competitor analysis. Usually this process allows me to critique my sketches to evolve the most promising ideas and communicate them better. After researching other media outlets within the Bitcoin community I was able to notice a trend that transcended all social channels. </p>
<p> Many social channels lack a dedicated stylization for their brand and often lack clear typographic hierarchy leading to poor legibility. To alleviate that concern I created a brief typographic system that will help carry communication internally as well as consumer-facing. I more defined type system that’s also cohesive with the branding also allows the brand appear more premium and reliable which within objective and even company slogan.
