Edit 7/30:

Final Storyboard!!

I made edits to Leroy’s characters and gave them a bit more expressions. That way, I think it would make illustrating all the scenes a bit more expressive and interactive.

Storyboard progress. I’ve completed 1-4.

Project: COLA Site – Middle Eastern Studies
Completion status: In progress 7/22
Staff Guidance: Suloni
Description/plans: Assist with re-branding the MES website (http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/mes/).

I’ve reworked the original logo to be symmetrical, as well as included a font suggestion. I believe the font I suggested fits better with the logo because it mimics the thickness as well as curves, rather than the more squared off, skinny, tall font that was requested.

Project:Portfolio Website

Staff Guidance: Ryan, Suloni
Description/plans: Create a logo as well as PSD UI for portfolio page.
To be completed: N/A

Edit:

For learning purposes, I’m going to design a different website to use for the STA training assignment. Since I’ve never really coded from scratch.. and want to learn based off the tutorial Ryan gave, I made my own template that is similar and will attempt to work from the ground up for this design.

I’ve been taking a digital art media course over this summer and actually did this for my first assignment. I spent about a week just hashing out different logos (over 15 different ones) until I exhausted myself. I found the one that resonated to me most, which is shown here.

Here are also some layout designs I came up with so far. Still deciding which one I’d like best.
I made these before learning about the 960 grid so I’ll update it to fit the grid.

3. 1 page scrolling with anchors to each category.
