Today I did one of the color correction tutorials and started on the gif tutorial as well. There haven’t been many projects coming in so it’s a good time to get some tutorials in! Hopefully the projects pick up soon though…

Comparative Literature Banner

October 26, 2016 By Bethany Wong

This was the first the draft for the new Comparative Literature banner for their website:

banner-w-ribbonI took away the “Comparative Literature” and ribbon and added the different language letters/characters into the patterned line work in the background, varying them in size and color:

comlitbannerSince this major focuses on different literature across the world, there is great importance in the many languages they study so this banner emphasizes the languages more with a few more art nouveau accents:

comp-lit-banner-2

This next draft is using a base composition of a stairwell photo that was provided by the client. The different language letters are still present but are instead integrated in this art nouveau stairwell composition using jewel tones:

And here is the latest banner in context:

livetrace

Just finished the live trace tutorial! It’s pretty hard. I like how I got a lot of the detail on the feathers but I think the head looks a little obscured.

P2021 Template

October 25, 2016 By Roopa Nagarajan

Went through about 100 photos to choose 5 that best fit the five categories for the P2021 page

  • About the Development Studio
  • Audio
  • Video
  • Digital Instruction
  • Online Course Instruction

 

devstudio-banners-template

Original template with five sizes that the five photos needed to each be sized for.


banner_largebanner_largebanner_large banner_large

After taking the image and positioning it, I saved for web and devices to only save the specific slices needed. I did this for all five images for all five sizes 4 times each: color, color + tint, black and white, and bw + tint. I turned visibility of the text on and off to see which level of darkness would work best.

The video pictures– size extra large, large, medium, small, and extra small.


dig-instruction about-the-dev-studio-template

Template was changed to six pictures. Shown here are Digital Instruction and About the Development Studio in BW + tint and color + tint, respectively.

Another quick painting I did, I’m really enjoying drawing little potted plants apparently! I love working with all the colors, but I’m also learning and not trying to bite off more than I can chew.
