completion status: Started October 5th

description/plans:

For this project, I was tasked with taking the photo negatives and scanning them to the computer. Depending on the quality of the scan, I touched them up in photoshop to ensure the same quality.

To be completed: October 14th

 

Initial Scan:

After the scan, it was quite apparent that two of the images where a lot darker and had an underline red tone. Therefore, I had to go in photoshop to make edits.

Remote Studios Logo / Poster

Completion status: started on September 20
STA team members: De’Sha and Leilani
To be completed: TBD

I’ve been going through a lot of drafts for this project, here are a few unfinished mockups that I’m moving away from directionally. I got approval from De’Sha and Leilani to pursue the first design’s shapes around the people, so I’ll be playing more with that soon.

As another process shot, I also had a color palette change to orange. Looking at the logo, I went ahead and updated the hair style and things to not literally be a copy-paste of my own STA portrait for this version:

Then, moving away from that, I started exploring a much more simplified version:

And that’s where I’m at now!

Christmas at Winedale Poster

Completion status: started on Oct 3
Staff Guidance: Suloni, Valerie, Maddy
Client: Tricia Blakistone
To be completed: Oct 11 (basically completed by now though)

This poster is for the Christmas at Winedale event, which is (as the poster implies) an experiential Christmas event where you get to be more immersed in a 19th century atmosphere on the Winedale historical site. This version is the 11×17 inch one, and I also created a very similar 5×7 inch version.

(10/5): AUDIO STA CREST

I revised the crest design after having a 1v1 meeting with De’sha and Leilani. The crest needed to be simplified and more icon-like. It also needed more specific references to audio (mic, headphones, soundboard, sound waves).

 

(9/4): SPRING ’23 ONLINE COURSE HEADER

I firstly sourced a few copy-right free images for possible banner options. Then, with instructions from Suloni, I drafted the four images into headers. I updated the year and added a gradient/blur (with PS help from Adrian). It was overall a fairly simple task, just a little time-consuming to source good copyright-free images and format each of them to the correct dimensions.

 

 

STA Poster Documentation

STA Poster Documentation

As we have been creating the STA posters, I have been keeping a growing document of all the crest designs and poster designs. This document is used to ensure that all the poster care consistent in design but still have individual personality that represents their STA group.

 

Week 9/29 – 10/3

Hello! The majority of this week’s work focused on me finishing the STA roster poster for LAITS. Here are the stages of work I progressed from last week. Apart from the draft I had previously, I started in a different direction for the theme along with a new color scheme so this process was very intense with the deadline!

 

At the end of my work week, I thankfully had some assistance from various STAs with photo editing from a template I made. I needed 36 photos cropped into a shield shape so thanks to everyone who helped!

 

Since I had to leave before finishing by the deadline, De’sha a fellow STA and director for this project, helped me with inserting and organizing all of the STA photos to their corresponding name. I’m super happy with how the poster looks and I’m grateful for the opportunity and all of the support!

 

Apart from the STA poster, I also started to work on a new PowerPoint for UTFC. For this assignment, I had to find images for each french vocabulary word in a list and create a PowerPoint that correlated to a city, which this time was Marrakech, Morocco.
