I’ve begun work to annotate some photos that help instructors set up in-home studios for classes. There is a strict appearance for shadows, text, and arrows which I’m following, and almost all of the photos I’ve gotten have had the need for a stronger gradient beneath to make the text visible, but maybe I should be looking to find darker elements in the photo to place the text instead.
My assigned topic is Entrepreneurship. With Bridget’s template, we are able to speed up the process and maintain a consistent art style. I spent the past week creating icons for the “Pathway” sections, which shows the career options of each topic, it was a really interesting learning process with all the advice and resources Suloni, Abriella, and Bridget provided. These are some icons I made:
This is how the infographic looks right now:
Here are my drafts that I have sketched out for the K-12 infographic. I am currently waiting on feedback from my coworkers then I will make these in photoshop. Below are the different icons for each topic. The ones with only one image were approved.
To make documentation more interesting, Suloni and Abriella came up with the idea of adding more graphic elements such as banners and relevant icons to knowledge base tutorials. I made a banner for the how to package logo design tutorial.
For the LACS info-graphics, Bridget made a beautiful template that makes everything so much more efficient. I created an icon for “higher education,” Abriella, Bridget, Suloni, and Valerie gave me some very helpful inputs and I am excited to learn more about icon design through this project.
This is the info-graphic I was assigned, I am currently working on the pathways icons.
The Center of Women’s and Gender Studies requested a banner change. Brazilian artists Grupo OPNI made some stunning graffiti in the CWGS reception area, which the new manner features. I can’t wait to stop by and check them out in person.
Here is a link to more photographs of the mural: https://utexas.app.box.com/s/nn439kltmihqe72odiagnluubdlxasb6
Before spring break we were playing with some servo motors in my fabrication class and I didn’t get a chance to return them, now school is closed so I get to keep them! I’ll be using them for a little toy I designed, it’ll be a tv with multiple scenes that you can switch to by turning the servo. These are the draft and mock up:
Dr. Lichtenstein and Galit decided on the final design, this is how it looks like:
We are now waiting on the headquarter’s approval.
I completed the documentation for the Warfield Web Page and will be working on the new changes requested by the client in the faculty book page.
For this new requirement, I need to add and remove a few books from the Faculty books page and the page with the full list of books.
In addition to adding and removing books from this webpage, I will be working on updating the layout of the below webpage and implement css pullQuote style for the poem in this page.
I started working on a project to make old websites responsive using Cascading Style Sheets.
The drafts are almost ready. Maddy, Suloni, and Valerie had many helpful inputs on the text layout and color choice, which made the process much more exciting, it was satisfying to see how each design evolves. These are the latest mockups, which will be sent to the client tomorrow and they will pick their favorite!
We had some confusion on the print file, but it’s all done! I learned how to add bleeding in Illustrator with Maddy’s help and posted my first Knowledge Base documentary.
