Filing Contract Forms
On my second day of the internship, I was set the task of filing the model book folder E to K and K to Z in alphabetical order according to the spreadsheet/checklist which the folders consisted of client's contract forms and personal information. This was a priority task I had to complete as I had to thoroughly cross-check my work to see if the clients are in the Tamblyn Management model book, spreadsheet and folder on S Drive.
Below are some examples I took when I was in the process of filing the contract forms.

This task involved a high level of responsibility and accuracy as I had to make sure I am filing it correctly and making sure their names were on the list. If they were not on the model book or spreadsheet, I had to remove them from the folders and mark them as 'archive' which means they are currently inactive clients or no longer under the Tamblyn Models agency.

Tamblyn Management 2018 Model Book
The Tamblyn Management 2018 Model Book is the portfolio of client's model images that includes a short description about the model/talent and their measurements. It is usually updated every year with new model images of the client. The model book is a collection of professionally shot images and natural visuals. Tamblyn Management organises its client's based on which division they fit in. These divisions include Women's/Men's Model, Women's/Men's Real Faces, Girls/Boys Kids and Curve & Classic. Each client have their unique characteristics in which some client's would sometimes cross-over with another division. This is an essential tool for the model/talent as they can gain professional work experience in their modelling career. Saving the model images was the very first task I completed on my first day at the internship and it was an important task to complete as these images needed to be saved in the client's folder on the Tamblyn Management's S Drive.
The navigation process in saving the model images included downloading the 2018 model book from the website and it then opens as a pdf form. After this step was done, I then had to click File > Print > Pages (change page number according to model's page number for example, page 36 to 37) > Save As PDF > Change File Name (First Name_Last Name) > S Drive > Model Images > Division Folder Name > Model Name > Docs. Sometimes if the model did not have a docs folder, I had to create one. Each model/talent had two pages each in the model book. When saving the model images, it involved a high level of accuracy as I had to make sure each page number for each of the model was saved correctly in their folders. Saving the model images was really time-consuming and repetitive taking me four hours to finish saving all 301 pages. It also took longer than expected as I sometimes had to do two things at once, however, I was able to finish this in a day so that I could start on a new task the next day.

Web Conversion
One of the tasks I had to do at Tamblyn Management was web converting images that were received from clients via email. Graphic Converter is an editing software with a high range of features that change an image from being non-professional to a professional photographic design. It is an essential tool that Tamblyn Management uses to convert the model images through a batch design. Based on the instruction manual, Tamblyn Management uses a structured and standard resize and web converts the images. Web converting the images was an important step for the process to upload images on Portfolio Pad and on the web as it allows the images to upload in a fast and efficient manner.
The folder navigation involved to import the images on the left side was clicking Choose > Model Images > Division Folder > Model Name > Book > 2018 Web. After completing this step, the same steps were required for the right side, however, an extra step was involved as I had to navigate to the Web Converted folder within the 2018 Web folder. If they did not have a Web Converted folder in the 2018 Web file, I would essentially have to create one. I would then have to highlight all the images on the left side and press go. This will allow the images to be converted on the right side and it will be automatically be placed in the web converted folder to which it can be used to be uploaded on PP and on the web. The web converting process is usually completed after the new model procedure task in which I send the new model images to Sallie for her to choose the best images to be converted and then she places the images in the 2018 Web folder in the model's division and name for me to convert them.
Essentially, after I finished web converted the images, I had to send the images and the model book PDF files to mark on Wetransfer who is in charge of IT and designing the website.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to prepare much work samples showing how to web convert a model's image. However, I've attached the instruction manual and a checklist of the list of models/talent I web converted.
This a list of the last set of web converted images that I did of the model/talent in my last day at the internship.
Web converting images depended on when the images came in via email and were placed in the folders. Despite it being a simple tool to use, I found it really tedious and repetitive and it required a lot of patience as I had to convert images for 10 or more models. It also took longer than expected to web convert as sometimes the software and the Mac PC would be very slow and laggy which slowed down the progress.
