Style A & B Course Graphics

Earlier this month, I got to create course graphics for any course of my choosing so I chose AAS 310! This was my first time working with Adobe Photoshop, so it was definitely a struggle understanding the nooks and cranny at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was such a breeze! I’d love in the future to actually get to create some course graphics Professor Jin could use as I feel like I could’ve incorporated more of the course’s elements and themes!

I did some more of my training checklist and one of my favorites was recreating this punk rock poster with a character from one of my favorite shows! A new feature of Photoshop I learned was its custom fonts and filters! It’s amazing how each time I use this software I learn something new!

Lastly, is my self portrait for the STA blog! To be honest, I always have a hard time doing any sort of self related pieces but it was actually really fun getting to create like my own avatar/persona! My first month as a Design STA has truly been so wonderful and I can’t wait to continue this journey ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜!

DECEMBER 2024

At the beginning of December, I was tasked with creating a logo for UT.AI marketing. I was a little surprised when I was assigned this since I never made a logo before and only recently began training for it in my downtime. However, with the consistent feedback from De’sha and Leilani, I know what to expect in the future if I’m assigned a logo design again!

Regarding the actual creation of the logo, it took many back and forths to find the direction for the logo. Here are my sketches:

The direction of these two sketches was going in the right place and I got approval to iterate them further:

The second logo was favored the most. I was asked to do one last adjustment before it was sent to Mike:

Before going on winter break, I was assigned to work on some illustrations and icons for the IPE project! These icons and illustrations would be used in animations created by Lila.

I was on a bit of a time crunch since I only had 6 days of work before I was out for winter break. I began with making sketches for the icons. Here are the sketches I was able to do:

After creating these sketches, I was to focus on creating characters, environments, and scenes for Lila to animate.

Here is the final character lineup:

These are the final environments I made:

The last thing I did was get started on a couple of scenes that would be animated. These are the ones I managed to complete before my last shift ended for the semester:

When I went on break, De’sha finished up my end! I was happy to be assigned this project because it allowed me to see how I’ve grown in Illustrator. Overall, I look forward to getting projects like this one again in the future, but hopefully we won’t be on as much of a time crunch as this one!
