Week 4

Week 4

During my fourth week at my internship I helped another intern work on the University Golf outing. Katie and I were asked to come up with a UAlbany Athletics statistic, picture, and design to post at each hole.

We searched for the information online and once we found the statistic we paired it with a picture of the team or athlete who's stat it was that we were posting. We searched 18 facts for 18 holes. Throughout this process we found it difficult to find the statistics that matched the number of the hole. Once we found the statistics we made a generic design so the sign and fact would be recognizable, but still different by the number of hole, stat, and picture.

Week 3

Week 3

During the third week I was asked to make templates for the big screen. These templates will be shown during athletic events to engage the crowd. The layout for these templates is to be like a border because within the border a video of the crowd will be showing. I researched how professional sports stadiums do the templates and what kind of design is easy for the video to fit in, but also looks appealing on the big screen.

The three templates I created were:

-Kiss Cam
-Flex Cam
-Dance Cam







The templates are meant to be simplistic but still fun. Where the green shows is where the video will show on the screen. While working on these templates I tried to keep the borders minimal so it would not take away from the video, but still help the crowd identify what we are looking for. 

Week 2

Week 2


The third week of my internship was solely focused on an event called the Commissioners Cup.
The Commissioners Cup is a golf outing the university athletic department puts on at the local golf course. I was asked to create a sign the teams who enter in the Commissioners Cup can take their picture with while holding the actual Cup. 

Items I was asked to incorporate within the sign include:
- The Albany Logo
- Several Pictures of our Athletes
- #HOMEOFCHAMPIONS




While making the sign there was an abundance of action photos from the past athletic seasons. As I was going through these photos I decided to pick images of not only our athletes in action, but also images of "champions". The teams I chose to feature on the sign were those who won their conference championships during the 2014-2015 seasons. I decided to blend the logo and photos with each other and lower the opacity to make the hashtag more prominent because our goal is to push that saying in the upcoming seasons.
