SUMMER CLASSES 2021 POSTCARD

We needed to update the 2020 summer classes postcard to be ready for registration this year. I switched out the text, adjust alignment, added a gradient bar to the bottom, and brought in more of the green-blue color into the postcard. The file deliverable was a CMYK-colored pdf that would be ready to easily print. For the back of the postcard (right image) we had colored bars in places where the gradient. It was the original idea but it felt disjointed from the gradient on the front that we wanted to keep.

“The Russian Brahms”

This week I wanted to recommend a short and waltz-y piece from Nikolai Medtner, perhaps a less well-known composer. I discovered Medtner’s music last year, and I must admit that his music is not the easiest to listen to (I want to say he’s late Romantic, so some hints of contemporary there). This particular piece, Fairy Tale Op. 51 No. 3, is pretty easy to listen to, perhaps because of the lyrical quality.

TYPOGRAPHY KB

I added my section to this new training about the history of typography, very short and brief. Then went over the parts and elements of space and form of letters and words that are relevant for edits we make on type in our designs. Maddy suggested a side-by-side of adobe controls for the spacing with example text so this is what it turned out to be like.

15 Minute History podcast cover redesign

15 Minute History is a podcast LAITS audio department produces (https://15minutehistory.org/) and I am redesigning their cover/logo!

This is the original logo, they are looking a simpler font, cleaner background, and balancing the NEP, Hemisphere, and UTEXAS logo sizes:

These are some designs I came up with, still waiting on client’s feedback:

Summer 2021 course offerings signage

I designed 2 signages to advertise LAITS summer courses, these signages will be displayed on screens throughout campus, so Maddy suggested that we can make a fun version for students and an official version for parents/staff.

I created these using the color palette from an animation create by a STA from the video team:

Prof. Di-capua Website Design

I had a meeting with Prof. Di-capua and Maddy earlier this week on this website design project. Since then I’ve been working on one of the background designs, based on a sample website that the Prof. likes.

Here’s are some earlier iterations.

After some feedback from Suloni and Maddy, here are some drafts that I have that will be sent to the client along with another draft Maddy made if Suloni has nothing else to add to.
