AUDIO TEAM CREST

(9/27 – 10/3)

These past few weeks have mostly been filled with working on the Audio team’s STA poster and crest. In the beginning, I felt a bit lost (and overwhelmed) since there was a lot of creative freedom left up to me. However, after each feedback comment, my designs improved, especially after seeing some of the other STA’s work.

At first, I was more focused on creating a crest that vaguely alluded to the idea of audio but I soon realized the design needed to be more explicit. After we received more information about the color palette, template, font, etc. I made another crest that included feedback from De’sha and more clearly displayed “audio”. After receiving feedback again (VERY HELPFUL) I made a crest that spoke more to the job of an Audio STA (audio engineer).

Now looking back on my first attempt, I am very thankful for the critiques/feedback that I received. Each time I redesigned the crest, it improved very much. I still have to finalize the crest, but hopefully, this design is good to go:)

 

AUDIO STA POSTER

Although the Audio team doesn’t have a ton of STAs, the fun poses that I wanted to include made the poster seem “crowded”. De’sha gave me some help by suggesting to mirror similar poses and create an overall shape with the pictures. I still need to implement the feedback, but this is the draft I had before receiving it.

Boat Recolor

I was asked to recolor a boat.ai and boat.gif for Maddie and Marianne. There were three suggested colors, so I just made 3 versions of the boat (options!).

Recoloring them was pretty simple, and I also learned a bit more about Adobe After Effects in the process. Recoloring in AI was simple, but AE required some more digging, but in the end it came out very clean!

Design Fundamentals: History and Styles

This past couple of weeks I’ve been working on a basic training assignment in my spare time. I learned more about different historical art movements and was tasked with designing a graphic in my preferred movement. I chose Bauhaus because I liked the geometric shapes, and I recognize it from my past Art History courses. I first followed the Youtube tutorial link so that I would know how to create Bauhaus-like shapes and text. Then, I created my own graphic based on what I learned. I made it about the upcoming album release of one of my favorite artists, 5 Seconds of Summer. Although alongside the tutorial-based poster, mine appears more minimal, I think it contains just enough elements to be identifiable as derived from Bauhaus.
