Hello! My past week has been slow yet productive, here are some of the things I worked on!

Pixel Art Training Module

I was able to complete a training module on how to turn an image into pixelated art through Adobe Illustrator. Here is a before and after shot of a silly meme from the internet (it’s a bull terrier btw).

Aside from the training, I took a good amount of time attempting to find pictures of city elements in Marrakech, Morocco. The assignment was called “5.2B The City List” for the ongoing UTFC project.

Hello! The majority of this week’s work focused on me finishing the STA roster poster for LAITS. Here are the stages of work I progressed from last week. Apart from the draft I had previously, I started in a different direction for the theme along with a new color scheme so this process was very intense with the deadline!

At the end of my work week, I thankfully had some assistance from various STAs with photo editing from a template I made. I needed 36 photos cropped into a shield shape so thanks to everyone who helped!

Since I had to leave before finishing by the deadline, De’sha a fellow STA and director for this project, helped me with inserting and organizing all of the STA photos to their corresponding name. I’m super happy with how the poster looks and I’m grateful for the opportunity and all of the support!

Apart from the STA poster, I also started to work on a new PowerPoint for UTFC. For this assignment, I had to find images for each french vocabulary word in a list and create a PowerPoint that correlated to a city, which this time was Marrakech, Morocco.

Hello! For this week, I mainly focused on one project but here’s my avatar for the STA Banner that I had forgotten to previously showcase! mini me!!

Apart from that, I have been continuously working on the STA team poster that I started last week.

• Is the yellow for the rectangles too yellow?
• I wanted to add a small text in-between the green and yellow rectangles as shown above mentioning something about Mezes hall but I’m unsure how to rephrase it. Or should I completely omit the sentence?
• Should I make the leaf crests green or leave them as is to not draw too much attention?
• Is the texture opacity OK?
• Should I go with the original size shield (top row) or a wider shield (bottom row)?
• Should I cut everyone out of the original backdrop (top row) or keep the original backdrop (bottom row)?
• Do the names look better on the outside or within a border? Any better ideas on displaying the names?
• Should the drop shadow for the shields be darker?
• Is the color scheme for the shields ok?

Thankfully I had a handful of help from De’sha and Maddy as in specifics for the poster. After a little bit of correspondence between them and Mike Heidenreich’s new feedback, I was able to get to this point.
