I worked a lot making assets to my Canvasser activity. From tweaking the look of the Main Menu to coming up with pop-up windows and questions, this activity has definitely been evolving a lot. Here are some mockups I’ve come up with:
I’ve been exploring a couple of different grid arrangements for the digital backdrops of next semester. Here’s what I have so far:
I have began working on the cascade training part 2. This one involves a lot of coding to create the different layouts. I was able to create the tables and accordion in this training.
*Some exciting news* Angie and I are collaborating on training STAs on infographic design and layout integration! Woo hoo! Infographics and data viz is my whole ~thing~, so I’m pumped. We’ll be teaching STAs how to make basic graphs and charts in Illustrator, then how to conceptualize information visually, and finally, how to put a lot of graphics together on a page or a magazine spread to look cohesive. If I had it my way they would also learn how to make cloropleth maps in Google Sheets or Flourish, but that might be a little too numbers-heavy.
Poonum and I have been hard at work making the InDesign Part II: Flyer Design training! I made the banner for the KB today. I’ve also been working on a training for cutting out objects in Photoshop that went on the KB on Wednesday!
Today I worked more on my assets PSD file for my canvasser game. This game is going to be a drag and drop produce classification game. The produce will smile or frown depending on if you drop them in the right basket.
Here’s the title screen:
Here’s what should happen on canvasser if you drag the fruit into the right basket (the pear at the bottom would disappear behind the basket):
And here’s what’ll happen if you drag the produce into the wrong basket:
Waiting for some feedback on the PSD layers and then I’ll hopefully get to start putting these into canvasser!! I feel like I’ve been in the planning stages for this game for so long, so I’m excited to actually start putting my ideas into the graphic world~~
The past weeks I have been working on V-labs and I am done with all my stills except one because I am still waiting on a response to a question I had on an edit (the text was illegible in the original). Here they all are on box and hopefully will be on the live site soon. They are blurred for copyright reasons.
