This project was more of a learning experience. I had to create this card using HTML and CSS. Also, when you click on the card, a pop-up appears, and writing a string into that pop-up will change all the strings in the card that read “Connoly” to the pop-up string. JQuery was used to implement this functionality.
Life & Letters would like to change the current appearance of their site, which looks like this:
They want their site to appear more visual, so I am making it look better. So far, I have this: (The backend of the site is much harder to handle than the front-end. The front-end is letting me learn a lot too, since I essentially had to create the page from a blank slate. Making the correct articles appear in correct pages and lining that up with Wordress’s CMS is frankly very challenging, because WordPress’s documentation is absolutely terrible when compared to Oracle’s Java APIs.)
This was very challenging and interesting. I learned a lot about wordpress core files and the genesis framework(the page hierarchy and hooks) as I attempted to change the sidebar and its appearance.
Finished deciding on the colors for the characters. Rough version of animation video.
This was the video put together with Anna’s and my illustrations. After completing the video I sent it in get edited by the audio department.
Modified the JSON file to make sure that text appears in the Canvas after the marks. The text signifies the respective location.
I made the above banner for the pictographs page of the Texas Beyond History website. At the end of the old website. I found a “hidden” page that contained some watercolor painting replicas made by preservationist Forrest Kirkland. Since the pictographs page centers around his work, I drew from his art for the banner. I used photoshop and pieced together some squares of his art and created a complete image in watercolor style.
Below is a mockup of the banner on the webpage.
I am currently working on the layout of the rest of the page. The current page is a series of click-through images that will be put all into one page. I should be completely done by Monday!
