Update on Weeks 6 and 7

Overseas Exposure

Last week, I traveled to Ipoh, Perak, to take part in my first ever overseas cycling event. A non-stop 100mile (160km) ride across Ipoh. 

Although this may not be work related, it gave me a chance to spend more time with my supervisor and boss and also get to have some hands-n prep in setting up the bicycles for the trip. It was truly an eye-opening event and also a really enjoyable one. The roads in Ipoh were amazing, and the event saw thousands of cyclists from all different nationalities taking part!

Now, back to internship!

In the past few weeks, I have been coming up with detailed guides and taken plenty of pictures and also came up with schematic diagrams for many different braking systems and components.

The content has finally been uploaded onto the company website. 

I've spent alot of time troubleshooting and playing with the layouts before hyperlinking several different pages and posts to make the website look attractive yet effective to consumers.

In the previous week, I was also asked to sit in with my supervisor for a brief on an upcoming project the company is having. A client retailer for the company's bikes has specially requested for a new line of fancy bicycles with loud and crazy colour schemes and patterns to launch. As such, we spent quite abit of time going through different colour charts and design templates to come up with plenty of designs to submit for approval. Around 100 - 200 units of special bikes will be produced with the designs we've selected.

It was a really fun yet challenging process of coming out with so many designs and there were plenty of factors to consider such as how the consumers would react etc. Great exposure and I'm glad that i was involved in this project!
