    Hello everyone!

    I am sure many of you have wondered who won the Nordic Legion Academy internship with Metizport. And it is me! Which means I also won a laptop, which I love.

    Since I don’t play online multiplayer games anymore, I was a bit worried over maybe not being “the right type of gamer for this” when I applied, but that didn’t stand in my way. I mainly got to use the skills I have developed the past couple of years as a content creator with editing and creating online promotional images. But more on that in the posts I will make for each day!

    Week 1

    Day 1- Monday

    After a short night's sleep, I was tired but eager to get started on my internship. I got the invite to the Metizport discord and grabbed a big tumbler of water and got ready for the day, on a stable Nordic breakfast of rye crisp bread.

    Joining discord, I jumped into the video call and was greeted by the Metizport Concept Creator (MCC), two interns, and the IT- Consultant (ITC). The MCC was doing the meeting on a laptop from the airport, and later the Graphic Designer (GD) also stopped by.
    MCC introduced us all and showed a presentation of Metizport, its creation and its journey to what it has become and what they are focused on now. I love the story about how a mother was so engaged in her son’s activities, she even started a company for it! I remember one day I came home from school; my mom had been practicing SSX Tricky(a snow board- racing game that you could couch play co-op in) just so she could beat me. That memory has stayed with me even if my mother no longer plays that many games. I also love the fact that Metizport has a recreational center where kids come play games and even sign up to practice for esports if they want to.

    I then was lucky enough to see some clips another intern was working on before I got to work on my own project; the weekly Metizport schedule. I am used to working on weekly schedules since I do those for my own stream. But it was fun having the actual CEO of the company was watching, asking for adjustments and adding more information. I feel like I leveled up in quality of the schedule making.

    In the afternoon I had a meeting with MCC, the Lenovo Nordic Consumer Marketing Manager (CMM), the Head of Community (HC) and the Lenovo Legion Nordic Community Manager (CM).

    Day 2- Tuesday

    It was a calm morning in the Discord video chat, and I got to make a graphic for the Facebook page, their local Metizport Myrvåg about a theme evening for playing "Among Us". The CEO gave some art directions and gave support when needed. After that I had a meeting with Lenovo and Legion Community staff about some projects that they have upcoming which I won't be able to divulge any details of in these journals. It was a shorter day, which I felt was good since I knew day 3 would be the longest day yet.

    @miskkie Thank you! It's really good! I've been getting some really nice Infinity Nikki Screenshots, and yesterday I downloaded Rise of The Ronin on it as well :D

    How did you manage that, I thought there were 2 more weeks before its release? Is the laptop so good it can download games from the future, like that NEXT FEST video? 🤔

    Wow, now that sounds like a jolly fun time! I wish every internship out there was like this 😄 You know people are passionate when even the CEO is involved. Many congrats on being selected for this internship!

    @DoctorEldritch Koei Tecmo Affiliate Program 😇 But I won't be able to share anything else for now about it. But I am excited. I had previously borrowed the game on PS5 from the library.

    I think all games available in the steam next fest will run really well, but unless you go and join some creator programs, I fear you will have to wait. I, however, have a special build of 2 of the demos, so a bit future-testing will be done.

    Day 3 - Wednesday

    I finally had a good night's rest and felt ready to take on the day, a long one as it were. First, I got to make graphics for the discord about a watch party they were going to host on the Friday. After checking some references from their previous work on different platforms and knowing where I wanted the information to stand out a bit more, I made a graphics I was happy with. Since there wasn't anyone in charge in the call when I was done with it, I also made a quite different secondary version, which could be used in case they were also making an event in the discord. The CEO came back and thankfully was satisfied with the first one. We just changed the placing of their sponsorship logo, and it was done.

    Next, I made promotional graphics for Facebook about the possibility to book birthday parties at their premises. This one I made in two different formats, and they didn't really need any adjustments when I was done. Just a quick logo edit removal on a clothing item, which I also have previous experience with. 1.5h before my meeting with Lenovo and Archtype I found myself out of assignments, so I was writing in this journal. I got another mission, to create an MVP card from previous assets. I had to deconstruct and reconstruct the image with layers since I do not have Adobe photoshop. But it was still an enjoyable experience since I could learn how the image had been made.

    @ZaidH Yeah, truly engaged! I did get a bit nervous when he was there, but he was really kind and asked about the adjustments in a really nice way; and I was ready to improve as well so it all worked out well :D
