UTFC Logo Design 

Project: Connexions Francophones Logo
Notes: This time around for the UTFC logo I was trying to add a textured look to the design on procreate. I’m using the Dry Ink brush on Procreate, which is what a previous STA used to create the other icons for UTFC. In my opinion, I think it contains too much detail within the texture. I could opt for a solid line with a textured stroke but I’m also worried that it would look blurry rather than textured if the logo size was altered.

UTFC Management

Notes: I’ve been mainly focusing on UTFC management and getting the hang of assigning STAs tasks for the UTFC textbook. Here’s a progress checker I made to stay organized on what’s finished and what’s not.

 

STA Poster 

Project: Spring 2023 STA Presentation Poster
Due On: ???
Notes: This week, I’ve been focusing on finishing the STA presentation poster. Thanks to everyone’s help with photo editing I have been able to insert all of the STA photos accordingly. I’m now adding little knick-knack stickers of what’s representative of each team and polishing the overall poster!

Week 9

 

 

This week I will continue on the Texas Beyond History (TBH) Git workflow documentation. After playing around with Adobe Dreamweaver and getting used to the Git GUI built into it, I finished the “rough draft” of the documentation. This week I will mostly focus on getting feedback and making the appropriate changes.

 

I have never written a Git Wiki before so to avoid making a mess of the repository Marianne created for TBH I so I forked it.

 

However, I also did not know that you could not merge a Git Wiki from a fork in the original repository 🙂

 

 

 

I decided on writing the Git Wiki across two pages

 

 

 

Wiki on Texas Beyond History

(in progress)

Week 8

 

Project: Texas Beyond History Git LFS Documentation

 

Project: Texas Beyond History documentation

Client: Texas Beyond History

Started on: Started February 28, 2023

Completion status: In progress

Staff Guidance: Stacy, Marianne

Description/plans: write Git Wiki documentation to help clients use git in Adobe Dreamweaver

 

Texas Beyond History is a website built on Adobe Dreamweaver that has existed for a while. It has many contributors working on it, uploading code and images. Recently, we have been asked to move the website’s contents to a git repository to store the large size files. In this project, I write documentation on how to use the git work flow in Adobe Dreamweaver.

 

 

Through out the process of setting up Dreamweaver and Git, I have been taking notes on Notion

Git Wiki Draft Preview

 

UTFC Logo Design 

Project: Connexions Francophones Logo
Notes: I tweaked this project a bit by adjusting the placement of the dots on the logo and experimenting with typefaces. I haven’t gotten the chance to focus on this project as much but I’m sure I’ll finish soon!

 

STA Poster 

Project: Spring 2023 STA Presentation Poster
Due On: ???
Notes: This week, I rendered the backdrop to the STA poster a bit more. I had other STAs help with cutting out photos of the STAs so many thanks to everyone who helped! I’m currently waiting for some other design requests for this poster to come through so in the meantime I’ve been working on other assignments.

Week 19

project: Resilience and Adversity (in) Children’s Ecology Lab Logo
Client /Prof: Professor Ibekwe-Okafor
completion status: Started March 2, 2023

To be completed: before Summer

UTFC – City Image Search 9.2

project: UTFC – City Image Search 9.2
Client /Prof: Kyle
staff guidance: Leilani
STA team members: Leilani
description/plans:

• • Google the city and search for important landmarks
  • Find up to 5 high-quality images of buildings to include in the folder.
  • Find up to 2 cultural images (statues, markets, food, etc) to include in the folder.
  • When I have found all the images, upload them to the box folder and share the box link to basecamp for approval from Leilani

To be completed: March 8, 2023

• An issue I ran into during this image search is that there are very few copyright-free AND high-quality photos of Fa’a’ā. The selection increases when you search Papeʻete (the city Fa’a’ā is a suburb of), Tahiti, or Polynesia but I know Adrian is sourcing images for Pape’ete. This is definitely a challenge;p

 

STA CUT-OUTS

Project: STA cut-outs
Client: LAITS
started on: February 22, 2023
staff guidance: Maddy, Valerie
STA team members: Adrian, Lorena, Carrie, Leilani
description/plans: Cut out STAs from the background and remove blue reflections/correct coloring.

• minor edits: Valerie got back to those working on the STA cut-outs with feedback. Mostly it’s removing additional blue reflections from the STA and their clothes. Also, major props to Carrie for doing so many of these so quickly– I admire her workflow!!! :0
