Collab Lab Display

October 2, 2026 By Julie Brandt

Collab Lab TV Display

Task: Design a series of slides for the Collab Lab TV for STA announcements and protocols. Each slide should have a distinct style, but as a whole deck, remain cohesive and consistent.

Status: In Progress


Visual Guidance

In order to begin this project, I started a Figjam board with Kate to establish existing brand systems and styles before designing the slide deck.


Moodboard, Sketches, First Drafts

I began creating a moodboard with ideas for different layouts, colors, and motifs we could use. Then, I sketched out a few ideas and created them on Illustrator. However, there was a bit of confusion in what the assignment was, so these were not used in future designs. Instead of creating a slide deck template, I needed to design a series of engaging announcement style graphics in slide format to be displayed on the Collab Lab TV.


New Direction

With this is mind, I created a few new sketches for the slides and created them on Illustrator. Although this was heading in the right directions, they were still too simplistic.


Evolution and Iterations

I evolved my designs after getting feedback from Kate and De’sha making them more illustrative and dynamic. With this new direction, I was able to inform the designs of the other slides.

Improved Iterations

The designs below were changed based on feedback from De’sha. Specifically on consistency, correcting verbiage, and alignment.


Final Designs

Coming Soon!


Reflection

Comig Soon!
