Texas Politics Video Graphics and more

This week, TXP requested I make some graphics in video dimensions for their live-streamed events this week, as well as video end cards. I’ve had Ross Ramsey speak in a couple of my journalism classes, so it’s neat that he’s speaking at TXP as well!

I’ve also been working on the web accessibility UI/UX training this week. I’m just polishing it up on the KB today and hopefully it’ll be completely done by the end of next week! We’re integrating Figma into the training, so I’ve begun my own Figma training — I did the wireframes today.

Texas Global PPT

I was tasked to redesign a slideshow for a Texas Global lecture in which we were provided a new design template to follow on PowerPoint, here are some of the slides for comparison:

Lesson 1: Design History

I also worked with Poonum and Abriella on making standardized assets for imagery in this lesson. I came up with a PSD template that adds a dark overlay in the background while repeating the same image being used for each instance in order to add depth to the negative space. Here’s how they look:

Lesson 3: Typography

Finally, I think I am basically done with my section on Bezier Curves. Here are some snapshots of the progression of a letter transformed from text into a path and then edited through Bezier Curves:

Course Graphics – Style B

For this training, I was instructed to create a course graphic for the style B. Since this design allows you to add in an image, I decided to use one that is based on the black power movement. When I thought of this course I thought it would look good with the accent of orange. Overall, I believe this is a successful course graphic.

Animated GIF Training

I was finally able to create an animated GIF. Since my favorite animal is a Panda bear, I decided to create a panda that walks by and introduces himself. Meet Winslow the Panda!

The following are images from the Art Deco Movement.
