2021 Summer Course Banners

2021 Summer Course Banners

I worked on the banner for the homepage displaying the 2021 Summer Courses. We did different formats so that we could advertise it across different platforms of social media. I made ones for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, email, and Cascade. The Instagram ones have two images because they will be swipeable with a sneak peek of classes that are offered from certain majors.

My Recent Obsession with this Brahms piece!

My Recent Obsession with this Brahms piece!

It’s been a while since I updated something classical-music related, so I thought I’d give an update. I’ve been looping this Brahms sonata too many times, so here it is.

Brahms wrote this sonata when he is 18 years old, and at the time he was already very musically matured. This sonata, in my opinion, is very rich, dense, startling, and ever-changing. I think it could be difficult to listen to if one is not patient enough; I’ve known of this piece for quite a while now, and to be honest it’s not until now that I felt like it’s memorable. Perhaps it’s because the piece isn’t filled with beautiful, sparkling melodies, or reassuring themes, but I have to admit that its drama and its richness really grew on me. If you do listen to it (I don’t really know if anyone listens to the music I promote here on my blog haha but I post anyways because I love these pieces so much!), and decided that you don’t like it, like how I was 2 years ago, perhaps just keep in mind that maybe one day it’ll grow on you :).

Here’s my piano TA’s performance.

Prof. Di-Capua’s Website Redesign

I’ve been working with Maddy to re-design Prof. Di-Capua’s website. We ran into some blocks and limitations of WP, but I’m happy with how it turned out so far. I hope the Prof. likes the new site as well.

After Effects, AMS Powerpoints

After Effects, AMS Powerpoints

Recently I have been developing the second AfterEffects training for the KB. Specifically, I have been reworking an old, online class intro (AET304) to be the template for the training assignment. STAs will be taking old AE files and reworking them, as well as taking still assets from AI to make their very own motion graphic.

 

 

I have also continued on the IFML logo animation project, which is now again on pause. Here is a small snippet of the most recent draft 🙂

Lastly, I have been updating AMS lecture powerpoints with Abriella and Athena. The new template is very thoughtful in its composition and color; from these side-by-side comparisons, you can see how much life and visual interest has been added from the old PPTs.

PSY 319K Powerpoint Reformatting Project

March 23, 2021 By Poonum Mehta

Hello blôg the past two weeks I’ve been working on reformatting some powerpoints for PSY319K. Below are the templates I created:

This project’s timeline shifted pretty rapidly, as the professor uploaded the powerpoints right before Spring Break and wanted to record three lectures a day throughout that week. We used a spreadsheet to keep things on task:

Each powerpoint was uploaded into a folder for review, at which point I checked that the powerpoint content and animations matched the original uploads. Then, those powerpoints were uploaded into a final review folder for the professor to access. Here’s what some of those slides looked like:

This assignment was pretty fun to manage! I really enjoy being on the editor side of review processes. I also learned how to make master slides in powerpoint which is super useful when you’re assigning reformatting out to people on different shifts; the better your template, the fewer errors you will have!
