This month’s gathering of T&LI’s Online and Blended Faculty Community focused on the topic of Building Our Digital Identity. Some of the topics we covered were: What isDigital Identity? Is it something that is worth my time? How do I get started with developing my online presence? Should I create a personal website? Can social media be […]
Today we receive a confirmation email to start working on new logs for a CI club called “Eye-Lands” a per-optometry club. They chose 3 of the many drafts we sent to them for their own logo and banners. One of the designs they chose was mine, so I’m going to be developing the new banner for them. We were sent another email to them telling them that they should probably focus in choosing a main design for their main logo so student don’t get confuse recognizing the logo, it was just a suggestion of course, if they really want to have many logos we are happy to develop those for them. As of today I will be working on the new backgrounds elements for Abraham Lincoln, as well as this banner with the logo, also do another revise to Sam’s web sites logos and create new versions so there can be more options for him to choose and see if we can move to the next step fro him.
Below is a sample of the design i am going to be developing for Eye-Lands club:
Today I started working on the new libraries for the other bubble head already in existence. We as a team decided and assigned the next elements to be done for Gorge active planet kids book. I am going to work next in Abraham Lincoln elements. I am going to start doing the backgrounds for him. I decided to made more complex background and satay a little bit out of the generic ones like the ones I have done so far. By doing this will extend the time i work on each one but I believe is better to spend more time in something more unique an impressive than do something generic and boring really fast. My backgrounds for this specific person will be more detailed and will have more close related elements to the individual. I did not do this for the other backgrounds because I though the backgrounds needed to be generic so they can be applies to any of the other bubble head people. I will re design my other backgrounds for Rodney Mullen to be more related to him.
Below is a sample of my new background style for Abraham Lincoln:
We had a wonderful discussion today in the FIT studio about Digital Badges. Thank you to Jaime Hannans for sharing her experience starting a Digital Badge program in Nursing at CI. Jaime started this program last year with funding last year from the CSU Channel Islands Presidents Foundation Fund. Her goal was to investigate the potential […]
Today I have been working on sketching out new ideas for Driffill Elementary’s spirit and graduation shirt designs. For the spirit shirts I wanted to incorporate one of their well known chants “we are loud, we are proud, we are rams”. I tried to incorporate that into the spirit shirt designs, because it reflects the schools pride. I’m leaning more towards the look of the 4th design sketch. I also created sketches for graduation t-shirt designs, that will be used next year. We will be posting up all of our sketches on trello for a group critique.
We got some great feedback from Graft Group owner Today, for our three website logo designs. We will be working on the logos some more, taking his suggestions into consideration. We plan keep refining the logos and have them ready for critique on Wednesday.
As a “young” researcher, I have been struggling for months with the concept of Digital Identity. Digital identity has been defined simply as “the permanent collection of data about us that is available online” by BinaryTattoo. Up to the mid 90’s, pre-Internet days, academics built their scholarly identities via publications, conference presentations, workshops, etc. that […]
Today I work on modifying some elements for Gorge’s active planet children book, I made a night time generic background. I also made the right measurements for the decorative borders as 8.5 x 11. Today we also texted and gave feedback on Trello for website logos, the feedback was short because we believe the logos are ready to me sent to the client and start with the next step on design, the development of the brand from the logo. I believe the logos we are creating are perfect for the market the client wants to attract, women and baby boomers in special.
Below is a sample of the designs I finished modifying today:
Today I have been working on a poster for Professor Perchuk, for the guest speaker series. Bess and I have both been working on this poster together, she design the base layout for the poster. I then added the ribbon elements and edited some of the text. We still don’t know what is going to be on top, either an illustration or a photo that will help tie in all of the events.
We have also started brainstorming ideas for Driffill Elementary spirit shirts. We’ve been provided with graphics that will be incorporated into the shirt. We need to figure out ideas to incorporate everything into a brand new design.
The first round of libraries for George has being completed, 3-5 generic backgrounds, 3-5 poses of our famous bubble head, 3-5 expressions of our famous bubble heads, 3-5 illustration borders, the creation of several animals related to one of the bubble head. I have completed all of what I was assigned as of today. Next we are going to start a new round of libraries. Also I has completed a new set of logos for Sam’s website after some feedback from my teammates. We like everyday text each other to keep in touch of our progress and to set our deadlines and follow them as well on time. I received some complements from my team mates for my animals and biking illustrations. We also finished the sport shirts for Driffill school, we just need it to set the background transparent and outline the text so the print place can have everything ready with out any problems for lack of font comparatively. We are going to keep working with Sam, gorge Driffil School and Ci clubs constantly and at the same time. Also another poster for Professor Perchuck that will highlight all the series in one is being made as of today.
Below are sample of my illustration of this week as of today:
Since submitting our poses and expressions for approval, we have gotten approval from George and moved forward. We have completed the rest of the libraries for Kartick Satyanarayan, Rodney Mullen, and Nelson Mandela. I worked on the backgrounds and boarders for the Kartick Illustrations.
We are currently waiting for approval of logo sketches for both the pre-optometry club and the line lackeys club. The president of the pre-optometry club has liked what we’ve shown her so far, but she is waiting to show other club officers .
We have also been busy working on the logos for the three online companies we’ve been working with. We sent some initial drafts, but were advised to go back and refine them to fit the art direction. we have refined some of the logos and are going to be sending them out again for feedback. I’ve been working on the logos for the electric bike website. I have narrowed the logos down to just one, and I feel that the style and color palettes reflect the demographic they’re going for. The owner of the company wanted that website to have a mid-century modern feel and I’m confident that I was able to capture that.
