UWC Home page

I am working on the home page design on WordPress for UWC. After my meeting with Stacy and the client, I have started working on creating an initial draft version of the page in WordPress. This is still a work in progress and needs more edits. In addition to the home page, I will need to work on an additional links section and alerts section that needs to appear across all the pages.

Making Assets for E316 TA Orientation

I know what you’re thinking: “E316 isn’t a course, Megan! There’s E316M, L, and N!” I hear you.  You’re right. There is no E316. But! I’m still making graphics for it. Why? All the TAs for M, L, and N do orientation together.

 

That out of the way, these weren’t too bad and the client didn’t want the full menu of Canvas assets (why would they? It’s only a two-day orientation.) I picked a generic photo of the UT tower for the backgrounds with a nice, dark shade of blue from the brand color palette. The only issues I ran into were color-correcting the PPT title slide because my nice, dark shade of blue wasn’t being very… nice to the photo I picked.

This created Table 1, which has two rows of three columns. The cells have text only:

The next table I created had videos embedded in the cells, with two rows and two columns each:

The last table contained images embedded in cells and containing URL links to other pages:

Today I made the final edits to my PPT redesign assignments and submitted two drafts for the client, in which one includes all original images and the other contains new images that I thought better communicated the content in the slides.

Here are the slides compared to the originals.
