Project: Brazilpod

Project Supervisor: Suloni

Description: Made an image collage for the Brazilpod website background illustration, then began drawing it in Illustrator. Selected a color palette and had a smaller illustration size approved.

Project: A Catastrophic Cataclysm

Supervisors: Suloni and Lauren

Description: Replaced human limbs and heads with cats limbs and heads in an image of ancient roman soldiers fighting.

Project: The GENES Project

Supervisor: Suloni

Description: Made a couple new banner ideas for the new GENES Project website. I updated the old Twins Project site with an already made banner and a new color palette. I met with Suloni, Stacy, and the client on Friday, Sept. 3rd, to further discuss the direction the site design needs to go in.

Hey, I’m K! I design & code websites. This is going to be my first year with the STA’s, and I’m looking forward to it.

Project: Animated 8-bit GIF

Completion Status: Complete

Staff Guidance: Suloni

Description: Maybe it’s just a ball bouncing on the ground. Maybe that’s just being close-minded. This ball, bouncing on the ground repeatedly, is obviously a meticulously-created metaphor that represents my tenacity and unyielding efforts! So here it is:

Project: Animated Drummer GIF

Completion Status: Incomplete

Staff Guidance: Lauren

Description: Working in Illustrator to create animation layers of a drummer. It’s a bit difficult since my experience with Illustrator is limited, and it seems like all the keyboard shorcuts and menus are different on a Mac too! Nonetheless, I’ve been able to create layers of the drummer lowering his arms to hit the drums, and I’ve started on the animation of swivelling around to hit the cymbal.

The images are all in vector format so I can’t upload it right now.

I’ve been an STA for just over a year, but it is now time for me to leave. Here is a look back on some of the projects I’ve done this Summer.
