Week XXXIII

Japan Lab

We’ve narrowed down the font and logo, so I’m playing with colors and arrangements this week.

The round logo was harder than I thought it would be… Illustrator’s “text on path” tool is not very friendly. I am waiting to hear back if the lowercase subtitle seems too casual.

Course graphics: Masterworks of American Literature

This week I made the set of buttons for this course. I am also experimenting with a new method of summarizing a lot of little course graphics files: finder screenshots. What do we think, too lazy? Should I get back to doing design menus again?

Course graphics: Global Governance

Just updated the buttons and banner for this one, as well as making a new stinger animation. You can see I’ve sneakily started exporting everything as pngs.

CoLA Web Refresh

At long last, I finished the Asian Studies and related sites. The South Asian institute was much bigger than expected – part of this was a log of conferences going back to 2006. But updating the Sanskrit pages did inspire me to check out John Keay’s India – A History since I am too lazy to find a translation of the Vedas or anything.
