More Astronomy Flyers!

This week has been a lot of fun as I’ve been given more advice on how to play around with flyer design and tips on how to make the flyers more visually coherent.

I was given a flyer template to take inspiration from and was also advised to find new images so that the images used for the course graphics and flyer didn’t become repetitive.

Here’s some of the new designs I made

It definitely shows a stark difference from my first designs. I’m personally a big fan of the last design and the designs with the cliff image.

Here’s the newest iteration we were able to make. With the help from my supervisor, we were able to combine favorable aspects of both our flyers to make something really visually appealing.

Making Flyers!

I started making flyers for the Introduction for Astronomy class! This is my first time doing a project that is so heavily design focused so it’s a bit daunting but I’m excited to tackle it.

Here were my first designs just off the bat.

They’re a solid first attempt but I have a lot to improve upon.

 

The end of Fall Summer Marketing…

Speedway Banner: During summer class registration we may potentially hang a banner promoting the select $500 online courses across Speedway. The first three designs were heavily influenced by the Fall postcard, but after receiving feedback and feeling like this approach wasn’t producing a design I was satisfied with, I looked up examples of street banners to see what was effective in grabbing my attention. I thought about how students would be more enticed if the cost of the courses was displayed (since I as a college student know that we are all about saving money). I was also inspired by the line work on a banner I saw online and thought I could incorporate it to break up the messages/text. Once I created the lines I saw an opportunity to include the summer.utexas.edu URL so students know where to find more info if they are truly interested in the select $500 courses. Overall, I enjoyed the process of this banner and I’m pretty proud of the last iteration I made.

Description: 5’x36′ Vinyl Mesh Banner

Tuition Guide: Removed M 427J, changed the title of ‘MUS 307 How Music Works’ to ‘MUS 307 Popular Music in Popular Culture’ ( I also removed the course flags for the time being until the professor receives approval), created a hyperlink for ‘Registrar’s Course Schedule‘, and moved the summer.utexas.edu URL to the bottom of the pdf with an orange bar ( the course curriculum and flag info were pushed up to compensate for the addition).

 

New Course Graphics

This week, I got a new assignment for making custom course graphics for the 301 Introduction to Astronomy class. Theres a lot of variety I was given with this regarding pictures and formatting so I got to make a lot of iterations.

Here are my banner iterations.

IPad and PPT layouts.

And I got to make designs for a digital wall monitor.

I’m still working on getting the graphics finalized but with the images I was given, I have a lot of creative freedom.
