Project: Fall 2021 STA Roster Poster
Client: Internal/LAITS STA Program
Completion Status: Done!
Staff Guidance: Mike Heidenreich
STA Team Members: Cristina (me), & Abriella Corker
Description/Plans: Create this semester’s STA Roster Poster according to specifications.

So, last time I updated y’all on this project, I was working on the first version of it. A galaxy iteration, if you recall. However, that version was scrapped because it didn’t really represent the vibe we were going for, so we started working on a new concept: bubbles. Other ideas were thrown at the wall to see what sticked, but bubbles was the real champion here. So, without further ado, here are the drafts that took this version of the poster from nothing, to the most recent (plausibly final version)…

First off, I remade the setup of the bubbles to make it more dynamic and similar to how bubbles float.

Then, following feedback, I moved the big circle (the one designated for the title) more towards the center to avoid the feeling that further away STAs are not as related to the program as the others. I also redefined the color delineation for the different groups.

Afterwards, it was time to add some bubble texture to the mix, to test it out. I also started experimenting with backgrounds. This was idea #1…

… Aaaand this was idea #2. This one was less distracting and still on theme, so we moved on with this gradient background.

Next up, I added the rest of the bubble textures to the STA circles, and added all the images and names, accordingly. This was also my stopping point before I had to go on break…

A fellow (Abriella Corker) STA took over the project on my time away, and she changed the blue background color to a darker tone, in order to make the bubbles pop out better.

Now, we are only waiting for final feedback before the posters get printed, so I’ll keep you posted once that happens…

Edit: It happened! We’re done with this project! The final version got approved and you can now find the printed version at various locations of the LAITS offices. Hope y’all liked it 🙂
