Some of the things I did as an STA:

I helped many professors with their websites, updating them, designing them and giving them new features.

I spent a lot of time working on a website called Texas Beyond History. We are trying to make the site more modern and I had a lot of jobs as it is such a big website. Some of these included formatting pages into WordPress friendly layouts, and reconstructing some of the interactive Flash portions using an HTML5 Canvas application, built by Ruben, called Canvasser.

I also worked on several COLA sites that Stacy manages. I did CSS design for Life and Letters Magazine website, Humanities Media Project and I built up a website for the Patton Challenge Project from scratch.

I also did a lot of work through Cascade, the content management system Andre built, to update many COLA sites and faculty profiles.

Overall I enjoyed my time working here. I learned a lot from the different developers I got to work with and I had many challenging projects and fun assignments. I am thankful for Suloni, Andre, Stacy, Ruben, Johnathan and all of the LAITS staff and for all their help and being able to work with them. I had a lot of fun and I hope to see everyone again.

I’m starting to wrap up the what’s the story flash animation for one of the kids pages on TBH.

The difficult part has been the beginning and ending which have both been animation heavy.

The in between scenes have been laid out, all that is left is to add some small animations and click events.

We’ve been using an App Ruben developed called Canvasser to try and re-create some of the Flash Interactive portions on TBH.

I’ve been working on the kids section.

We move the images into place, re-create the animations and will eventually include clickable events.

I’ve been working on updating a personal website for Professor Thomas Pangle.

He wanted to revise some of the text, styling and hyperlinks as well as add a few new pages.

I’ve been working on a website called Patton’s Challenge Website. The client just sent a design and I’ve been coding it up from scratch.

This is the design that we were sent:

 

And here is what I’ve done with it so far:

 

 

One thing we wanted to do was implement a mobile design. I haven’t finished yet but here’s how that looks so far:

 

I also worked on a site called Humanities Media Project. There were some design changes requested.

 

Here is the original design:

And here are the requested changes:

I changed some of the css to implement the changes. Because we weren’t sure exactly what the client wanted for the center and mobile designs, I mostly just worked on the header, menus and footer.

This is what I ended up with:
