Fall ’23 STA Roster Poster

Project: Fall 2023 STA Roster Poster
Client: LAITS
Completion Status: *Final touches*
Staff guidance: De’sha
STA team members: Leilani
Description/plans: Lots (and lots) of variations of how the QR code could be displayed. The triangle banners tie best with the theme so we changed the movement and colors on them to better suit each poster.

THAT’S A WRAP

Thank you to De’sha and Leilani for helping me with the STA Roster Poster! This project felt very ambitious so I had to learn to trust my judgment and decision-making skills. I also became very familiar with the Illustrator workspace during this project, which was a great benefit. I’m very thankful for the opportunity to work on this, and I hope everyone is happy with the results! I learned a lot from this experience but I know I still have much more to learn as a designer.

 

10/1 Group Meeting – Stress Management

This week De’sha talked to us about stress management– identifying the signs, behaviors, and remedies. We talked about how everyone is juggling different kinds and amounts of stress, even if we don’t visibly see it. At the end of the meeting, we made sticky notes with positive affirmations on them to put somewhere where we’ll see them every day.

Description/plans: We will be finalizing the design/composition to be reviewed by Mike. The QR code placement and design are yet to be finalized but we want it to blend in with the poster, as well as display some significance to passersby who will want to scan it.

 

 

 

9/25 Group Meeting – MOODBOARD

Activity: De’sha gave us 15 minutes to create and upload a mood board of goals/ambitions. My initial mood board was very rushed but for good reason– because De’sha didn’t want us to dwell on the small details, so we could focus on the bigger picture. I went back in and made it look better because De’sha said she’d be printing these out… I expanded a bit more on my goals because my first one mostly consisted of pictures– which didn’t help me remember the explicit goals I was trying to display with them. With the bullet points, it’s much easier for me to stay aware of the goals I’ve set, and what I need to do to accomplish them.

 

Although I like our check-in meetings, it was also fun to participate in an activity with other STA’s. This activity was also beneficial for all of us to see where we are in our design journey

Description/plans: I’ve been working on different layouts/ideas for the STA Roster Poster. I have been testing various patterns and shapes to try and capture the essence of Carnival without it being too literal. My overall color palette for these drafts was influenced by the inspo references I’ve gathered thus far. It’s hard to create a balanced design with so many patterns and shapes, but these elements are very prevalent in Carnival visuals.

Mike ended up really liking the last draft, so that’s the direction we’re heading in as of right now:)

 

 

 

Branding: Logo Design Training

Project: Fintastic Shack logo design
Client (hypothetically): Fintastic Shack
Description/plans: Your client is The Fintastic Shack: a newly founded family-owned seafood restaurant. The family is very friendly, fun, and loves a good pun, so they would love it if you could incorporate some of that humor into your design.

 

Update: I mocked up the two logos on some business assets to get an idea of what the vibe brand will exude with each logo/ color variation. I honestly don’t have a strong preference for either one, but keeping in mind this is a family-owned restaurant (who has a sense of humor) the red color might be a more fun color concept for them.

 

GOV 310 Intro to American Government Custom Course Graphics

Project: GOV 310L Intro to American Government PPT
Client: Dr. Shannon Bow O’Brien
Completion Status: Due Sep 30th
Staff guidance: De’sha
Description/plans: Create a Course Title slide, a Lecture Segment slide, and additional PPT slides with Texas-related content.

Last week I created custom PPT slides for GOV310L, and this week I created some of the Canvas Course graphics they requested as well. The Canvas button text and Animated stingers details have yet to be specified.

 

 

STA Routine Wallpaper

I have been working on this in between my other assignments and I think I like the direction it’s going in. I had a more whimsical version I made previous to this, but I don’t think I liked it as much (even though one of my friends I showed said she liked it more). For now, I will keep working on this version and adding some details.

 

Fall 2023 Roster Poster

Project: Fall 2023 STA Roster Poster
Client: LAITS
Completion Status: Due Sep 22
Staff guidance: De’sha
STA team members: Leilani
Description/plans: For this project, I was assigned Lead Designer and Leilani as the Junior Art director. Together we will work together to create TWO roster posters. The theme will be Carnival, and from what I can see in the reference images it looks like we’re going for a vintage Carnaval vibe. The main difference between the posters will be color schemes, so we should focus on an appealing design. There also might be an animated element in the poster…

• Status Update: I drafted many different logos and De’sha helped me pick out two of the designs to mock-up in Illustrator. Then I started to experiment with colors ( I looked at other seafood restaurant colors and red or blues are very popular).
