The last few weeks have been crazy busy and boy have I made some progress. When we last spoke I gave a brief intro to what Elevate is and what I am doing, and I have done much more. These lest 2 weeks have been full of designing, rough drafts, and starting over as I have worked on the few assignments, so let’s get right into what I have been doing, shall we?
On Feb 10th I met with our faculty mentor and another Visual teammate and we spent a couple of hours creating the cover for the guidelines of the event competition. We were able to obtain our “featured image” and took a good bit of time designing and coming up with some different options or variations that we could use. Here is an example of one of the options we came up with.
The next step was to present the different options to the entire team, and although I was unable to attend that section of the meeting I was informed that all the options were great. We then moved on to working on finishing up guidelines, and I was given the task of designing the calendar that had all the important dates. it was a simple task, create the boxes and add the numbers, but where the challenge lay was in the colors and the text. The color scheme did not transfer over in the program I was originally using, so I started over in Adobe Indesign, which was much easier to use. The calendar turned out great, but the real fun I had was in making the fliers that we will hand out at the booths we have set up on campus. After many hours of tweaking, this I what I came up with and got unanimous approval from the team. 
It was a great couple of weeks. I was able to get a lot accomplished and help the visual team finish up with our projects. Although these two things seem simple, the process of making them was quite intensive. I have learned a lot these past 2 weeks and am ready to report on my next projects in a couple of weeks.
