Explanation of Inequality graph:

My first draft used dashed lines and empty squares as data points, which looked busy and kind of overwhelming. Abriella and Maddy suggested solid lines and solid data points, and the final result looks like this:

Poverty rates graph:

For my first draft, I decided to leave the labels in the graph for easier access, after discussing with Abriella and Rachel we decided that we should keep it consistent with our other graphics by taking the labels out and add a key.

Second iteration, I added a key to the bottom of the page, Maddy suggested to put the key on the right of the graph and organize it by the order each line appears.

Final graph:

For the Ethics and Fairness CS course, they wanted a backdrop example that didn’t have symmetry or shape the professor’s face. They wanted the same color scheme, just those changes.

Here is the original backdrop:

Here are the draft additional backdrops I created:

LRC Poster, Chatter interviews, KB edits, and more

This past week, I’ve been busy! Here’s a quick synopsis of what I did:

Talked to Marla and Chris about Chatter
Edited the photo ID KB article
Created a new KB article for ID email templates
Did the animated course graphics training
Created a draft of a flyer advertising the visiting scholars program at the Linguistics Research Center

Animated course graphics training

I made this intro based on a course I designed a display for. I used brightness and glow effects in AE to simulate lightning, once I separated the foreground cloud and lightning bolts into separate layers in Photoshop.

LRC flyer draft

LRC-visitingscholars-poster

The LRC wants to advertise their visitings scholars program, using vague UT branding, an open color scheme, and possibly the banner image from its site. I used the banner image, GT Sectra, and I eyedropped the color scheme from the banner image.
