See you soon!

I know this is my last blog post for a while, and sadly, it is hard to say goodbye because I will miss my STA family. So instead, I will say see you soon.

 

When I first became an STA, I only had a little experience with Photoshop and an ambitious mindset to become an animator. I knew that becoming a STA was my next step in life. With this job, I have learned so many create programs, how to manage project efficiently, and how to be a leader in the workplace. I honestly wouldn’t have been able to obtain this internship without all the skills I have gained from this position.

 

I appreciate all the time I have spent working with all the STAs. I enjoyed all the moments working in person and all the collaborative projects. I also loved the support from the STA team when I was creating my own small business.

 

Thank you Valerie, Maddy, and Suloni for seeing the potential in me and allowing me to grow into the designer I am today. This job was a true blessing and I can’t wait to come back and share my experience with everyone.

TxPEP Closure

Sadly, today was my last day  working on TxPEP. I really enjoyed working with Valerie, Abriella, and Sheryl on this project and I can’t wait to see how the final branding guide turns out!

For my final post for TxPEP, I was able to create some new possible designs for their logos.

The one on the top left, is my favorite… and will be shown to the client. I also create a version in the darker blue color.

Since today is my last day, all of the editable files are in my box folder for easy edits on these logo designs.

PIP LOGO DRAFTS

Project: Team PIP

Client /Prof: PIP board

Completion status: February 4, 2022

Staff guidance: Maddy Kaniewski and Suloni Robertson

STA team members: Abriella Corker

Description/plans:PIP is a consortium made of up of members (companies) that work together to develop engineering standards and policies for the industry across construction/pharmaceutical/petroleum/solar/etc. PIP is loosely connected to Construction Industry Institute, a research unity within Cockrell school of engineering.

Every year they invite their members to a 1-day annual conference featuring keynotes, speakers, & networking.
They make a shirt every year with the logo – the shirt & logo are a BIG deal to members and many have collected the shirts since the conf started in 1993.

To be completed: March 1, 2021

 

I decided to go with a badge-like logo, here are the first few drafts. The idea is to focus on images of collaboration and friendship across generation and experience of engineers in all fields.

 

Here are are the first cleaned up variations in gray-scale:

 

They want their logo on a red shirt so I drafted up a white and tan colored look. I included a blue on black as well. I am not married to any of these looks but I wanted to lay down some color to get a sense of the procress and how it might look with the line-weight which was good because I realize how I should adjust some of those things if I add color.

Update: This is what my current site looks like:

 

Hey everyone. This past week has been my first week back since last semester and I’ve mostly been using it to do the “Create a Grav site from scratch using Gantry 5” training. It’s a pretty large training so it’s been taking some time but here is what my current progress looks like:

 

 

Hello, blog! It’s been a little while.

I’ve been working on several different things, listed below:

UT in Context

Before my week-long break, I prepared a mock-up for UT in Context, which I handed off to Thuy and Estella for further development.

GOV 371U PPTs

I’ve been helping give Adrian and Rachel feedback for a reformatting project.

MUS307 Icons

I sent off final icons (PNGs) and pre-formatted icons off to the professor.

MIS 320F

I prepared a TA Vertical Monitor for this course.

Winter Vacation

This winter vacation I went to check out three states along the east coast. Providence, Rhode Island – New Haven, Connecticut – New York City, New York. I saw RISD, BROWN, and YALE. I went to the MET, MoMA, Guggenheim, The Natural History Museum, Central Park Zoo, etc. I was up and out from sunrise to sunset. It was my first time visiting that area of the United States! I had a great time, I don’t have all the photos I took readily available on my phone or laptop to upload but here are some good ones.
