Personal Postmortem- Jake Pettit – Week 9 PPJ

I remember that when we started all of this, I had a hard time imaging it actually ending. Now that we are at the end of this nine month process, I understand why I couldn't imagine it. There was a ton that I learned and was challenged by that I did not expect or could …

Video and Print – Jake Pettit – Week 08 PPJ

This week I focused on finalizing the last bit of printing. To do this, I updated the mural instructions a final time and designed the kitchen set up poster and interact with me stickers. I then cut them all out in time, helped assemble them on to the muslin, and had it ready for the …

Presentation and Edits- Jake Pettit – Week 7 PPJ

My plans to print this last week were altered by missing poster copy, but I was able to print and trim 30 of the small promo posters. Matt worked on the initial concept, but I had to add some missing elements like the event time and Westphal logo, so I also made some adjustments mostly …

Polishing – Jacob Pettit – Week 04 PPJ

This week consisted around getting closer to being ready to print, as well as finishing up a few smaller tweaks based on user testing. My (and most of the rest of the team) Sunday consisted of user testing, which my parents came to to give some older and non college feedback. I edited the energy …

Changes to Print – Jake Pettit – Wk3

I started this week by meeting with Yuling and Matt to go over a few design decisions and to talk about confirming printing.  I have been thinking about the idea to sew paper onto canvas as a way of mounting our posters and adding a design element. I finally gave this a shot, and the …

Moving forward – Wk2 – Jake Pettit

This past week flew by and somehow it is Monday night again. I was able to get at least a start on all planned work this week, which was reassuring for the quarter. First I updated the explore and add energy screens from user testing. I needed to change up the design of the cards …

Promotional – Jake Pettit – Week 10 PPJ

Towards the beginning of the week I worked on preparing promo cards to be handed out at the tech event that happened on Sunday, as well as to Ange and Len. To save money on printing, we wanted to have all of the information on the front, which took some playing with to make it …
