work signs

At the beginning of the semester I had to update all of the signs around the tutoring labs with the current information. I really wanted to do something simple, but I wanted all of the labs to look like part of a bigger whole. In the end I think I accomplished both of those goals, but it might have been a bad idea to leave them black and white. I don't know. What do you think?

The Solution Space is where we help students with Math 1050 (College Algebra) and other higher math classes. 

The 3 different hubs are where we help students with all the classes in the Developmental Math program (Math 950, 990, and 1010). I really wrestled with this one because of all the information that had to be included!

If some of the logos look familiar it is because I also used them when making the buttons in my last post. I might have overcompensated on the boring colors issue though. ;)

All in all there are 24 different color combinations. Everyone has their favorites, but I personally like the blue/yellow buttons (at the bottom-middle and also the center of the pile).

Next post I hope to have Natalie's wonderful photography again instead of pictures from my phone. Maybe I'll work on something not math related too! ;)

Traffic

So we're signed up for an Ornaments & Embellishments course through Nicoles Classes. They're a great place to go to learn more about Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Photography. This will be the third Illustrator class I've taken with them and I have loved them all! Every video lecture I've watched has had at least one "Ah ha!" moment that shows me a new trick for my designing arsenal.

Anyway, I was practicing making symmetrical objects and designing to a grid as part of this week's homework. I'm not entirely sure what I will do with all these traffic themed elements, but I'm sure they'll come in handy some day.

It's a 1024x1024 design, so you could still use it as a background on an iPad I guess. As always, feel free to suggest project ideas for Natalie and I to work on!

More Disney

Here's more of the Disney idea. I also went back and changed the font on the Gaston design.

 


I like the look of all of them together. Maybe I'll make a few more and turn them into a poster someday. What do you think?

Gaston!

Natalie and I are big Disney fans, so I thought I'd try a few of these. I'll post the others another time. Gaston's quote is just my favorite. :)

Honey Bear

I'm still getting used to blogging. My wife has been a great help. To thank her I have made this background for her phone. 

It's been fun learning to use Adobe Illustrator. Right now I spend all my time making "wallpapers" for different devices, but if you have suggestions for other projects then I'm all ears!
