Last update

My internship has been over for a bit, but I'm still working at SSAC. Here are some things I've done since the last post:

October 21, 2015

Finished the rough draft of the Fast grad animation. Here it is.

October 19, 2015

Worked on the animation some more. Here are some characters from it that I didn't make, but will be animating. Also some animation assets.

These are some test characters for the animation. I have them separated into a bunch of different parts for animating purposes.

Worked on the halloween carnival posters, mainly the fanfaire:

October 9, 2015

I was finally able to do some illustration today. For the Halloween Carnival they want 4 different posters highlighting a few different events. Here are two of them:

October 8, 2015

I was able to begin doing test animations for the video that will be played during devotional. We are going for a clean vector style, with fluid animation. So here's what I made today.

October 7, 2015

I updated poster, flier, and web banner for a recurring event today. Here are the fliers. The poster and web banners are pretty much the same. I also sketched a bit for the Halloween Carnival. They want 4 different poster designs fort their event.

October 6, 2015

I had a shorter day today. I was only able to work on a few things, one of them was planning a motion graphic to be played during devotional in a month. That will be about how too many students are taking too long to graduate. I'm excited to be able to work on that. I also helped update an animated halloween card for student support. There's not really anything to show at the moment.

There were a couple of bigger projects today that took up a larger part of my time. One of them being the Clash of the Associations. It's going to be an event where all the different student cultural associations play team games together. The other was the acoustic cafe. That one didn't take as much time, but just a lot of fiddling with it. It's not done yet, but it's getting there.

September 28, 2015

I started and finished the Flu clinic poster and web banner. The idea they wanted was "Earn your stripe" the stripe refers to a bandaid on the arm.  Kind of like a military stripe I guess. This is what I came up with:

September 25, 2015

I finished off the inside of the Christmas Card for the support center. I painted the outside of the card a few months ago, and we were just waiting on them to tell us what they wanted the inside to say. I also worked on a poster for the "Blazen Dance". They had a silhouette of two dancers they wanted for the design. It seems a bit pointless to submit something to a design department, and then limit their design options like that. But it happens all the time, and I don't anticipate it stopping soon.

September 24, 2015

Today was mainly spent preparing a presentation for our department. Another intern and I presented it together. The support center requested a few changes to the Lost and Found Sale, and I made those and sent them off. I made lots of little changes to web banners as well. Here is one of those.

September 23, 2015

Today I made the fliers and web banner for the lost and found sale campaign. The support center really wanted Waldo for their design, but we can't do that because of copyrights. So I made this little guy to look similar, but different enough. I also made a few other web banner.

September 22, 2015

 I mainly worked on finishing the lost and found sale campaign today. Here is the final 111x17 poster. 

September 18, 2015

Today I worked more on the "Where's Waldo" poster. The client saw it loved it, which is good because a lot of time has gone into that. I also helped come up with some ideas for the Outdoor Resource Center remodel. We also each drew Phil, one of the other designers, on sticky notes.

First Week of the internship

This post is will be covering today, as well as the days earlier this week that I didn't post on the blog. I am working as a designer and art director for Student Services and Activities Communications (SSACOMM) at BYU- Idaho. I mainly create posters and web advertisements for campus events. I will also be doing some video editing for various projects.

This week I have been working on a huge kiosk-sized (44"40") for the Lost and Found sale. They want it to have a Where's Waldo theme. I proposed the idea of drawing a recognizable part of the school in the style of the Where's Waldo books, and putting the lost and found items all over it, just like the books.

Here is my progress so far. The first image is the line work I have of the Taylor quad. The second is the design for the text on the poster, and kiosk versions of the advertisement (the image will be replaced with my final illustration)
