I was employed by Edith Cowan University (ECU) between February 2021 and February 2022. I was part of the LMS Transition Project Team, within the Centre for Learning and Teaching. ECU made the decision to transition from Blackboard to Canvas.
As a designer for the project team, my responsibilities included:
- Design of digital and print-ready resources, used for communication purposes
- Web content updates
- Photography and video editing for staff and student content
I worked on infographics, posters, journey maps, and graphic assets that could be used on a wide range of resources. Some examples of my designs are listed below.
Icon Sets
As part of the transition to Canvas, one of the requests was to create new sets of icons that can be used by each School – with each teaching area having its own unique colour. Creating these icons was a lot of fun!
Banners
An issue that the team was facing was how to deal with the overwhelming number of requests for new page banners. To solve this problem, I suggested that we provide each School / teaching area with a maximum number of “general use” banners to choose from.
Other
I also worked on the following merchandise:
- Shirts
- Mugs
- Stickers
These were given to staff members of the transition project and were well received.
