LAITS Student Technology Assistants collaborate with the College of Liberal Arts faculty and administration by re-imagining their instructional and promotional projects with a creative use of video, audio, web and graphic design. STAs learn technical skills on the job with LAITS development studio staff. They build presentations, produce audio/visual works, scan text documents & perform image correction. STAs are instrumental in helping COLA faculty realize their vision for instructional technology projects used to enhance the teaching and learning experience.

edX Chalk Drafts

Last week Suloni asked me to very quickly draw up some example images of chalk illustrations in the negative space behind Professor Michael Starbird in his Effective Thinking edX video clips. Here are a couple such images.

Kincaid Critters Redesign

September 26, 2016 By Aidan Kessler

For TBH I’ve been working on a redesign for the “Kincaid Critters” interactive. This is a kid’s section activity of the site which asks the student to match a textual description of each ancient animal to its corresponding image. I’ve been focusing on making it both more visually appealing and intuitive. (I still need to drop in Jun’s icon to let the viewer know immediately that this is interactive.)

As I continue illustrating for Latin 506, I occasionally have to create a new character. Here’s a time lapse of me working through the creation of the one and only Caesar.

Workday Illustrations

September 24, 2016 By Bethany Wong

Workday is a new software that will soon be used throughout UT’s faculty and staff. I am responsible for creating illustrations that will later be animated into an introduction video for its new users.

 

First thing to be illustrated was the tower:

Second was a reel-to-reel mainframe:

mainframe-and-pixels

More to come!

Plateau Pictographs for Texas Beyond History

September 23, 2016 By Qiwei Li

banner-picographs-ql

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!
