Thesis 3: Module 9

-

This week was pretty hectic, but fortunately I found out my desktop is fixed and all my files were saved. I'm hoping once I get it and have everything updated, I'll be able to have a more robust Process Book. I have started with drawing illustrations to represent the user testers, to keep with the brand's illustrative style.

For this week, I worked on mocking up my packaging deliverables, the thesis video, and PDF presentation. I'm still having sizing issues with the video. I made all my frames "fit to frame," but there isn't equal negative space.

Speaking of sizing, I resized my final presentation but when putting the mock-ups in there's a lot of space and some pages have mixed-match background colors so I hope to fix it for next time. Since I'll have my files back, I'll be able to edit/resize the mocks.

For social media I created more gifs, and another thing I plan to accomplish next week is to figure out the best way to have gif/video mocks of the social media ads. I did the app mock in photoshop, but I wonder if XD would be better for social media. I might give it a try this week.

TFIs (New) CBD Services Fact: CBD stores are increasing in San Antonio, TX. Problem: There is an abundance of CBD stores and products to choose from that it gets overwhelming and become less convenient for consumers to shop.  Goal: Through graphic design, I plan to design a way to help shoppers be more educated about the CBD products in their area while also being mindful of their accessibility to them.

Thesis 3: Module 10

-
This week, I worked on a few "house keeping" things from my deliverables. This included transferring the files from my temporary laptop to my computer and organizing the files one what's needed to be mocked up. Upon seeing what was left, I realized that some of the deliverables had the wrong website and so I was going through each deliverables to make sure it's correct. Upon doing that I also found some inconsistent typography. This was like a domino effect of edits I found. I recorded myself speaking about my deliverables in the PDF presentation. This presentation will go after my Thesis video presentation. I'm thinking the structure will go something like:  1) Thesis Video 2) Thesis Presentation (app video demo within it) 3) Question/Anser section I'm not sure if this is correct, but I'm hoping to find out more in the upcoming weeks. Going through my presentation has helped me see what structure to do my presentation and how I need to get used to talking...

Thesis 3: Module 8

This past week in module 8, I've been trying to get re-organized in my new set up on a PC laptop while my computer is still in the shop. Some of my files got lost, including process works from Thesis 1. I'm thinking of ways to look for those files or how to fill in the missing pieces in my process book.  Organizing my final presentation PDF, and seeing the mock-ups back to back has helped me visualize my system's components and find ways to present them with more sophistication. For example, the app mock has been something I've been struggling with this semester since most online mock-ups don't fit well with the look of 210 confeccion. So, I think I'm going to create my own mock with the iPhone being an illustrative outline. I think my social media ads are shaping up, I found an ad mock (Ad Parlor) which I've done but the animation wasn't working due to the browser I was using. I'll tinker with it some more this module. I also worked on the rough vid...
