I’m so excited to be doing the STA poster this semester! Currently we’re in the drafting phase. Though I’d love to show more of my drafts, unfortently I’ve been having trouble uploading my images so here’s just a few of my drafts to show.

Here’s an early draft:

Completed on: Jan 10

Worked a lot on this project where I created all these little graphics for a pre-roll and title slide for HIS 315L! I tried to pick different objects/people from the previous graphics for the class and then did a lot of tracing/shape layer in Illustrator to get to the final designs. De’sha stepped in when I left for break and did the final touches.

KB Research – Background in Illustrator

Completion Status: Started on Oct 25

This week I worked on further filling out my background design tutorial by finding tutorials online to link and also supplementing with my own little tutorials. Here are my new additions, which I hope to edit further and increase the text size (and also fix the orange arrow on the first tutorial):

Siamdoust Pattern Updates

Client/Prof: Nahid Siamdoust
Completion Status: Started on Nov 14
Staff Guidance: De’sha & Stacy

This week I was assigned a quick project to slightly change the pattern for a banner on Nahid Siamdoust’s website, and additionally also pull out the logo and isolate it on a 512×512 image. Princeton gave me some tips for copy/pasting the pattern before rotation into place which ended up working out really well (thanks Princeton)!

STA Blog Banner

I’m also excited to announce that my submission for the STA blog banner was chosen! I had a lot of fun making this background; I decided to go the route of “mentally I want to be here”, so now everyone’s caricatures gets a beach day field trip.
