Orientation (Day 2)

July 7, 2020 By Miguel Yapur

Today we started out with a fun Exquisite Corpse game. For the rest of the day, I did some basic training by editing photo ID’s. Here are some examples:

On my first day as a Design STA, I got to meet and get to know a little about everyone in our team through Zoom. We went over the STA Handbook and got to dive a little into how to use Basecamp and Box. My first task was to add my Daily Plan and upload an SFW meme. Later on, we all reconvened and I was asked to create a quick PowerPoint document that talked about five sections of the STA Handbook. Below are the slides I created:

We were also asked to do a Bio and an Avatar for ourselves. Here is the bio I made:

Orientation (Day 1!)

July 6, 2020 By Ingrid Alberding

Today I and the other new STAs began the first day of orientation. The main thing I accomplished was creating a powerpoint based off our student handbook! Although it’s fairly simple (used a template and only adjusted colors and design a bit), I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

Today was my first day with LAITS! It was super cool to meet all my new coworkers (even though we’re all working from home). We each created a PowerPoint with information from our work handbook and here are my (badly cropped) screenshots:

If you’re wondering, I got the color scheme from this generator and the cute doodles from this open-source site. I didn’t use a template, so this is just the default PowerPoint layouts with my embellishments added.

Portrait Photography Guide

I worked on updating the layout for the photo ID guide. I have implemented a layout similar to the ‘Example Projects and Information’ section from the Podcasting site.

I also worked on adding a few points from the latest design brief. Below is an image of the updated photo ID guide:

Enhancing French Skills Responsive Changes Update

June 18, 2020 By Mounika Tadanki

I am continuing to work on the web responsive changes for the Enhancing French Skills website when I am not occupied with other tasks. After adding the viewport tag, I had to make some changes to adjust the positioning of the elements to make the site responsive to smaller screen sizes. Although the site is in better shape after a few changes, there are more changes required to make for the site function well across all the screen sizes.

Changes are required to align the site description, fix the issue with multiple columns being cut off on the theme page. I am working on fixing these issues and testing the changes across different pages.
