Style B Course Graphic Training

Today, I did the Style B portion of the course graphic training. I know it’s kind of meta, but I used a journalism course on… graphic design.

I did some Style A graphics for HIS 315L: The United States Since 1865 today. Pretty smooth! It was neat to use the bright blue in the UT color palette for a change.

IDs, Course Graphic Training, and a Logo (!)

August 6, 2020 By Ingrid Alberding

Hello,

It’s been a while, blog. Since being gone this week, lots has happened, and I thought I’d share my progress here.

Here’s some examples of a few IDs I’ve been assigned this week. There’s something really soothing about editing them, so I can’t say I don’t enjoy processing them. These two were both simple enough, although the first one required some color correction — a balancing act, since while the severely red/warm tones were unflattering, if I made it too cool-toned I ran the risk of washing out her naturally warmer skin tone.

Next, I’ve been working on course graphic training. Between the two styles I dabbled in, I preferred B, and I think it especially turned out nicely for this course, ARH 332K – Northern Renaissance Art 1350-1500, that I am registered to take in the fall (and super excited about). Here’s the design menu I recently produced for it. The background for the images is from Dürer’s print, The Patron Saints of Austria. :^)

Lastly, I just finished my first draft for a new informal logo for a new major (exciting, I know!), Race, Indigeneity, and Migration. The design brief asked for something super simple, and I used the font Josefin Sans for now, but that is subject to change.

More PPT!

PPT Intro Slide Redesign

After meeting with the client earlier this week, I was given some more content to use for the image in the background of the intro slide. After applying some different gradients and looking at the overall feel of the presentation, I chose to go with an orange-purple gradient. These are some examples:

I also went back and edited some slides that had pictures on them to have them look a little more like the intro slide:

Pull Quotes KB

I started updating the pull quotes KB to add more detailed instructions. This is a work in progress and I will add more instructions to make it as clear as possible for STAs who are new to HTML/CSS.

UWC website updates

August 6, 2020 By Mounika Tadanki

Last week and this week, I’ve continued to work on UWC along with RIM Cascade site set-up and Pull Quotes KB in between.

I updated the statistics on the uwc home page and added an announcement section, and worked on the graduate and writing appointments page. I’ve moved the draft versions to the original pages.
