Week 10

November 10, 2022 By Marissa Devivar

Week 10

Project:  BEYOND SWEATT V. PAINTER
Client: Olivia Mena
Started: Nov 7, 2022
Staff guidance: Maddy
STA team members: Leilani, Carrie, and De’sha

Description/plans: Researcher, Olivia Mena, needed our help with data visualization/ presentation design for a PPT: History of Race, Science, and Segregation at the University of Texas
Completed: Nov 11, 2022

 

 

This firstly involved choosing an overall color palette/scheme. Then we reorganized/composed pictures with their respective paired bodies of text in a more visually pleasing manner. Most of the pictures were provided by Oliva in the draft PPT, but some pictures had to be sourced or edited to match the aesthetics/dimensions of the presentation. There was a combination of historical documents, photographs, and text that needed to be cropped and blocked on each slide into a cohesive narrative for Olivia to present.

 

From what I was told about the presentation from Maddy, (I wasn’t able to attend the meeting with Olivia herself) it sounded very interesting! I always like to hear more about the history of UT, especially if it is clearing up misinformation about the history of our school:)

 

Election Videos

Not much was going on this week besides working on the Olivia Mena PPT, but Mike sent out these finalized videos for the Election Day PSAs Maddy and I worked on. So cool to see how our work crosses over with the Audio team!
