Hello! This week for me started off a bit hectic. I began by recoloring some old assets for UTFC. For some reason, a few of the masonry grid backdrops in the recording studio kept appearing blue. Here’s an example of the before:

After changing the color profile and re-editing a plentiful of backdrops, here’s what the recording studio chose:

Along the side, I created a PowerPoint slideshow for UTFC that focused on Ordinal numbers in French. Although I had trouble at the start and started off with a balloon theme, I totally forgot to establish the ordinal number theme. After lots of feedback and helpful suggestions from Yazz & De’sha, I went with a counting-like theme where students get to count the object. I had to hand off the project to someone else but this is how far I got!

For the rest of the week, I received the amazing opportunity to design the STA poster for the Fall 2022 semester. Along with designing a poster according to the theme, I also was able to:

• Collaborate with jr & sr art directors for approval of the design
• Shadow and assist jr art director with the direction of team posters & project organization

The theme for this semester revolves around the idea of the Men’s World Cup. From the inspiration pictures I was provided I churned out these various layouts:

This week I worked on an arrange of projects but mostly training assignments! Below here I practiced some UTFC greenscreen training on PowerPoint.

 

Here’s a cute little venn diagram I drew along with one from the internet for a random assignment topic.

 

I reused an old assignment for a design history assignment. Glad to see these old posters used outside of class.

 

Lastly, here’s a pixelated photo of “Walter” from a pixel training tutorial. One of my favorite memes of a bull terrier.

On the 23rd I worked on finishing up my American Studies tiny card project for the American Studies department. I ended up making 3 versions for the client to choose from with the logo on from and a QR code on the back of the card.

On a side note, I received an update on one of my previous projects for the AMS department. Here’s a photo of the AMS Banner I had done a while ago in the flesh!!

For the 23rd & 29th, I mostly worked on backdrops and banners for the UTFC project. Although I did have a small assignment like making a quick backdrop for the Art History Department, specifically ARH 301 again. It’s a backdrop for the Intro to Visual Art’s pre-roll videos.

The remainder of my time went to many UTFC backdrops and banners. Below are the backdrops and banners for Brazzaville, the Capital of Congo.

And here are the backdrops and banners for Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. That’s all for now!🤓

 

For this week, I had a pretty productive and fun time! Lots of new projects like animating and making logos!

I finished my animation from my previous blog post where I had to make a quick segment that displayed a request from the professor in ECO 304K.

 

 

I did a minor tweak on the TxPEP logo along with re-creating some new icons for their branding style.

I made a quick TA banner for ARH 301:

 

And I got to start a new project for the Department of  American Studies again! The professor was looking to have their new AMS logo on one side of the tiny card and a QR code on the other side. Here are some rough drafts I whipped up:
