Planning, Search, and Reasoning Under Uncertainty Assets

It’s coming close to the deadline for the CSMS intro, therefore, I spent majority of this week working on various drafts and iterations of the intro and getting the other assets completed.

Edits:

For the logo, I made the the light blue lines white at a 50% opacity.

Intro 1:

This initial intro was extremely fast for the 4 second animation.

 

Intro 2:

For the animation, instead of it following all the paths, it currently only goes along the correct path and shows intersection points where the person could potentially go in a different direction.

Audio STA Poster (10/10 – 10/13)

Staff guidance: Maddie
STA team members: De’sha & Leilani

This past week was mostly dedicated to wrapping up the Audio STA poster. I loved the constant feedback and suggestions from other staff members (De’sha and Maddie) which helped improve the poster with every new draft. This is probably the most time I have ever spent working in Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator (exciting but definitely a learning curve).

Planning, Search, and Reasoning Under Uncertainty Logo Finalization

Planning, Search, and Reasoning Under Uncertainty Logo Finalization

These were the two initial iterations of the logo design. The right one showcases the complexity of the course, but the left one is simpler and easier to read as a design. I felt that it was best to continue with the left logo and find elements that are within the right logo to incorporate to make it more complicated.

These are the various versions of the simplified logo with different path options to make it a more dynamic design. I personally felt the the top right was the best option.

Now, I’m trying to figure out which is the best layout in terms of readability. We want to make sure the viewer can see the path through the maze easily but it’s also a strong logo.

project: Scan Heman Sweatt Slides
Client /Prof: Dr. M. Gillette
completion status: Started October 5th
staff guidance: Valerie
STA team members: N/A
description/plans:

For this project, I was tasked with taking the photo negatives and scanning them to the computer. Depending on the quality of the scan, I touched them up in photoshop to ensure the same quality.

To be completed: October 14th

 

Initial Scan:

After the scan, it was quite apparent that two of the images where a lot darker and had an underline red tone. Therefore, I had to go in photoshop to make edits.

(10/5): AUDIO STA CREST

I revised the crest design after having a 1v1 meeting with De’sha and Leilani. The crest needed to be simplified and more icon-like. It also needed more specific references to audio (mic, headphones, soundboard, sound waves).

 

(9/4): SPRING ’23 ONLINE COURSE HEADER

I firstly sourced a few copy-right free images for possible banner options. Then, with instructions from Suloni, I drafted the four images into headers. I updated the year and added a gradient/blur (with PS help from Adrian). It was overall a fairly simple task, just a little time-consuming to source good copyright-free images and format each of them to the correct dimensions.
