Union Events Office

This ad has a string because the Events Office ties up all the loose ends when planning an event. The info tells about the events office and how to book rooms and tables in the union but it simple and short.

Summer Programs

For all the summer programs I made a background that is cheesed out and fun. I recieve the posters and put them onto the background. At first, the clouds were more white but I decided to make them more transparent so they are not competing with the posters. Some of the posters I recieve are flipped to verticle so sometimes it is challenging fitting them onto the background which has to be a certain size for them to go on the templetes for the T.V.s.

Snowy Range Creamery

I received all the design elements for SRC from Ben so I was able to put together this ad. I had chocolate chips scattered around but they where too distracting with the raze and panels at the top and bottom so I left them off. I was able to ad my own saying of "Summer just isn't summer without ice cream." I continued the outward raze with putting the type into an upside-down triangle which fits in great to the raze.

SLCE

This ad is simple with pictures that show how much fun people are having. I took the type from the website of SLCE for consistency. Drop shadows ad more to the ad since it has a white background which I thought was the best choice for the background since the pictures are so busy already. The SLCE logo is included but small to not distract.

Room Directions

This ad is on the Events Office T.V. at the top of the stairs on the 3rd floor which will point people in the right direction. This way, people are not scrabling around looking for their room or even the restroom. Haha! It is simple but with room directions I think it needs to be simple and to the point.

Orientation

I made this to welcome all the new incoming students that were at orientaion. At first, the title was smaller but Ben suggested to make it as big as possible which I feel looks better and grabs attention.

Center for Volunteer Service

This ad was a bit challenging trying to cut down the type so it was not too long to read but gave enough infomation on each volunteer opportunity. The logos are big so they are recognizable and remembered. I added a little clip of volunteers to keep it fun. Each section gives info but is short and sweet.

Friday Night Fever

Friday Night Fever has a new logo so that was fun to work with since it has bright colors. I used those colors throughout the rest of the ad to bring it all together and for consistency. The Join! is big to get the attention of people to join FNF. It not only descibes what FNF is but also how to get involved. The pictures help to show some of the activities and the team of FNF.

CJs

This ad is pretty simple. I used the bus poster that Ben gave me and went off of that. The sushi is something that he wanted to promote more so that was added. The summer hours are listed at the bottom and spans all the way to the sushi logo so it's big enough to see.

Cowboy Bucks Discount Card

After I got the poster which was an 81/2x11, I made this version. I had to cut out the COWBOY BUCKS, DISCOUNT CARD, ONLY $10, and the stars from the poster. Then I used the bottom part from the first ad and used a similar type for the University of Wyoming Student Media.

Cowboy Bucks Discount Card

I made this version of the ad becasue at first I did not have the original poster. I tried to make it look like the poster as much as possible with the limited resources I had. I think it is simple enough but has just enough excitement with the type.

June 26th Wedding

The Union has wedding receptions upstairs in the Ballroom so I made a sign congratualting them. Since it's a wedding I figured I could cheese it out (from the words of Adrianne). It's fun and the couple enjoyed seeing it on their wedding day.

Pita Pit Redone

Too much type so I shortened it to just healthy, fresh pitas! I was able to get Petey the little pita character and use him. I added a drop shadow to the actual pita which gives it depth and more demention instead of flat. I also added the summer hours in one line to match the subtitle which helps with consistency.

Discounted Movie Passes Redone

The title didn't work in the film strip so I tilted the film strips and moved the title to 2 lines to the right side. The background is a little lighter to be not so distracting as before and the information is lined up on the left for easy reading.

Concerts and Convocations Redone

Again there was too much type so I cut it down for faster reading and chnaged the color to white so it was not so hard to read. I removed the haze I created and redid the title which took a long time to make it look like the letters on the logo. The meeting time is big and bold to get people to join and the picture is of The Fray who performed here at UW.

Concerts and Convocations

This is one of the posters I based my ad on for the Rolling Mill Cafe.

This way everything made for the Rolling Mill Cafe is consistent and clean.

Rolling Mill Cafe Redone
After talking to Ben I made the ad more like the posters he made for Rolling Mill Cafe with paninis. It's more clean and the big panini and coffee shot will get more attention from people because who doesn't like food? The subtitle is simple and right to the point, not too much type like the first I made.

Ad for Spoke's Pizza Company Redone

When I first made this ad I did not have pizza real pizza shots so I made my own pizza in Adobe Illustrator but as you can tell the real shots look a lot better and more appetizing. The bottom type was too small and getting lost especially after I added the background texture so I made it bolder by choosing a different typeface. I added the summer hours too becasue that is kind of important. Haha!

Ad for Recognized Student Organizations (RSO) Redone

The type done in the same type as the logo was too distracting so I changed it to a bold black san serif type that will grab the attention of people. I kept the type short and sweet and added the web address so people could find an RSO to join. I removed the big picture of the hands because it was too much with all the other pictures on the left side.

Ad for Student Activities Council (SAC) Redone

In the first ad there was way to much type to read. The ad will only be up for 15 seconds so I cut the type to grap attention and get the point across fast. People will not want to stand there and read the ad forever. I added a faded picture of one of SAC's events to make it more interesting and fun. This ad is trying to get people involved with SAC so the meeting time is bigger to get people to join.

Ad for Student Activities Council (SAC)

I am working with Ben Tonak from Residence Life and Dining Services making the dining ads and he is also giving me feedback on all the ads I make because he is a Graphic Designer and designs many of the ads for Residence Life and Dining Services.. Many of the ads have been redone or have changes from suggestions from Ben which have really helped me to push my designs and the way I look at what I am creating. I do not see things that might look funny to other people so it's great having someone else in Graphic Design to give me suggestions.

For the past couple of weeks I have been working on designing ads for all the organizations in the Wyoming Union to promote involvement and general information. I also have been making ads for the dining places in the Union. These ads will be on the templetes for the signage project and be displayed on 4 T.V. screens in different places in the Union. Here are some of the ads I made.
