SCHOOL RELATED ITEMS

Here are some book covers I made by marbling. I think they came out pretty cool. I had in mind bright reds and ideas of imperial powers. Been hearing a lot about China and reading about American imperialism for history so this is where my mind went.

The following are art pieces that I have made in my art education classes which explores the techniques and processes of different mediums. I don’t ever use imagery when I am working in this class. I mostly just do what feels right with the materials and this is the product of that.

 

 

Here are two prints I did using found objects glued to blocks of wood and run through a Vandercook press. I used Hibiscus tea leaves and toothpicks. There are about 9 layers, 2 shades of red ink and a transparent cream ink used. The image below that is one of projects for serigraphy that I finished. I has about 20 layers in total but each page has a different image. It is a story of deception and false truths. It will only be up until tomorrow then I take it down after it gets critiqued by my classmates. Hope you all are interested in seeing it. It took up a lot of my evenings staying late on campus to finish my layers.

Nutrition

NUTRITION ITEMS

This looks kinda boring but I will explain what this image is! Thuy and I estimated time that we spent working on the nutrition design brief with Suloni and discussed what aspects of the process took the most time and least time. We estimate that each design would take around 4 hours each after out meeting. Hopefully moving forward, we will be able to provide a better estimate for the nutrition project and move forward in working with them on the project. Currently, we are waiting to hear back on the info graphs that they need so we can ask questions and calculate time that will be spent on this.

BANNER EDITS

project: Public Affairs Commencement Banners
Client /Prof: Department of Public Affairs
completion status: Started Feb 20, 2020
staff guidance: Valerie Tran & Suloni Roberston
STA team members: Abriella Corker
description/plans: Create a banner design for commencement for Public Affairs
To be completed: Feb 25, 2020

 

For this project I was given photos to use for the banner edits. My task was to photoshop the images for use of possibly a single image or make a collage edit for the banner. The edits on the left image below were my very strict interpretation of a generic collage grouped by overall color scheme. The right side images I did a diagonal cut and added come blocks of shape to make it feel a little more dynamic.

CHECK LIST DESIGNS

These were the final designs for the checklists that I made. The first one is a design I made before knowing what content would be placed on the image. I did both a serif and sans-serif font and Michelle ended up picking the sans-serif for the design. I met with Suloni to talk about more directions this could take and she made suggests which led to the last 4 images below. A flat bold graphic design with both a double column and single column layout. The colors are of the primary and secondary UT orange and navy blue. I got my icons from a non-copyright source and edited them to be placed within solid circles to balance out the darker colors in the image. The Liberal Arts knock-out image was added at the end which in turn led to a need to re adjust spacing throughout the entire text to accommodate for it. Overall I think the project had a good outcome with the blue single column as the final choice (which was my favorite as well).
