We’re on our last week of summer and I’m excited to continue working as a design STA for the 2026 fall semester. This week has been a busy week for me. I’ve been working on 2 big projects that I have mentioned before in past blogs as well as a few small assignments. It’s a lot of work, but I’m happy to have something to keep me busy.
First, I’ll show the final results for the Collab Lab computer backgrounds. My art director had some feedback with the design and requested I make another one for the audio team with a separate and unique background. I really liked the artist that created the first one, so I went back to Adobe Stock to find more of their work. I landed on a red and blue design with similar patterns and movement to the first one. Credits to 3DJustincase on Adobe Stock for these beautiful works.
I enjoyed this small assignment, mostly because it was simple and was a good way to take a break from more challenging projects.
A few days ago, I received the audio files for the voting PSAs. With the audios, I was able to start working on timing and finalizing the animations. I’ve been putting most of my focus on transitions since the assets are mostly simple and minimalistic. I’m happy to say that I’m starting to find my work flow and have slowly started to improve in my efficiency since starting this.
So far, I only have a few of the animations partially complete. I’ve sent the below version to my art director and am currently waiting on feedback. While I wait, I’m working on finishing up the main movements of the animations for the other versions.
As the summer comes to an end, I will begin preparing for the fall semester. I’m extremely excited to see what new experiences this school year will bring.
