French Textbook Map Final Version

The French textbook map is has been completed and will be used on the platform Lingco as supplementary material. The first two images were the maps I was given to combine into a single image. It contained a lot of detailed names of places I had to type out and sometimes look up because the text was too pixelated and monuments that I had to illustrate and rasterize by hand. The clients were satisfied with how the map looked so I moved forward with adjustments on contrast so that maps legend and features are distinguishable among different color-blindnesses. I found that it’s not so much saturation that matters than it is the contrast in values. I made the railway stations a lot brighter against the background. I also darkened all the text.

 

Here are what the maps look like in the different simulators:

The COLA Web Refresh project is closer to full swing!

I’m currently zeroing in (along with Lorena and Adrian) on process documentation.

Project: COLA Web Refresh Project (Phase 3 Pre-Auto Migration Process Documentation)
Client: College of Liberal Arts
Completion Status: In progress, will finish this week probably
Staff Guidance: Michelle (PM), Chris (content strategist)
STA Team Members: Adrian, Lorena
Description/Plans: Chris, Geoff are still working on auto-migration script that will auto-migrate pages for all departments/centers/institutes/units end of this month, so for now me and a couple other CMSTAs are working on process documentation. What does this mean? Basically, noting what the script failed to pick up, or maybe transferred strangely, things we may want to document and expect to work on manually cleaning up in the future. A lot of this has to do with design, layout, or image issues.

MAP OF PARIS

The French textbook wanted to have a map redesigned. It needed to be a combination of these two maps with the district names and the icons of the city. The last image at the bottom is the first draft that I made. Feedback is currently pending on this.

Austin 311 Data

Data Visualization of Austin 311 Calls I did for my design class. It was my first homework assignment involving actual images and visuals. Please look at it, it took my 7 hours! This link will auto delete in a month and the file image size was too large for a post!

Graphs for Boas

 

Hans Boas is having a presentation printed out and in this document he needed some graphs re-designed for a BW format at half a page size. He requested only outlined boxes and more on the plain side. I kept the formatting of the graph the same since the supplemental text he supplied followed with the graph nicely.

Project: UT Dana Center Carnegie Layouts (1/3 of Dana Center projects)
Client: Dana Center (Alison Cothe is principal contact)
Completion Status: In progress
Staff Guidance: Suloni (art director), Maddy (project assistance and InDesign guru)
STA Team Members: Rachel, Cristina, Abriella
Description/Plans: So! The UT Dana Center is a center at UT that (simplistically put) works to reduce educational disparities by taking action in mathematics and science curricula across TX and US in under served communities. LAITS is now taking on 3 projects related to designing InDesign layouts for their content, as well as creating a few infographics.

We are still in the early stages of this project, but I have helped with project management and assistance w/ this, creating Box folders and a spreadsheet to track our progress. I am focusing on project assistance but am also getting trained w/ Rachel on InDesign so I can do hands-on design work if needed!
