I haven’t posted here in a moment so I thought I’d take this chance to show what I’ve been working on. I had been tasked to create a background design for the collab lab computers, like the ones in the design lab. I was instructed to keep the theme interesting but not too distracting from the lists of tasks listed.
I first developed a simple style with a textured gradient found through Adobe Stock images. I wanted the background to feel uniform, so I adjusted the text bubbles to match the colors. I created 4 different versions to give my director a variety of options.
I was happy with the results, however it wasn’t what we were quiet looking for. The background was too simple and the text bubbles were not contrasting enough. I was tasked into finding a background with more movement and to revert the text bubble colors to black text and white background.
I went back onto Adobe Stock images to find an abstract piece that was more visually interesting. I came upon the one shown below and went ahead and made edits accordingly. I went with just 2 variations this time since I was given specific instructions on what needed adjusting.
I’m much happier with the result of this version. I feel the overall design is much more contrasting and visually appealing. I have not heard from my art director yet, so I’m currently waiting on feedback.
There is one other project I’m working on, however I’m not sure how much of it I can share. What I can say though is I’ve been tasked to create a poster for a certain group of STA students.
