I made a new banner, it’s a gif so it only works in regular blog posts :/

Update LAITS homepage graphic

I update the Move Your Course Online graphic on the LAITS homepage:

I have finished my caricature (I think). I darkened the eyebrows and brushed up the edges to make things look a bit smoother. Pretty neat!

Cascade Conclusion, Online Course Graphics, and the FOCUS Graphic

During the last week of July, I worked on the following:

Cascade Training: I finally concluded this assignment by adding icons within a custom layout and pull quotes. Figuring out how to format pull quotes with color and correct spacing was a bit of a challenge but Thuy helped me with my HTML code. Reflecting upon the Cascade training assignment as a whole, I’m proud of how much coding I was able to learn. Here are some screenshots of my final site.

 

I also started Online Course Graphics. Here’s the complete package I worked on in Style A. Something odd that I noticed is that the buttons and banners preview as different shades of green on my computer despite sharing the same hex code; I’m not sure what causes that to happen, as the graphics look same in color on my laptop :/

 

Lastly, I started drafts for the “FOCUS” assignment. The most promising idea that I will continue developing is the illustrated letters (on the top right). Although my first and initially favorite idea was the block letters (in the bottom left), I feel that it lacks potential since it doesn’t have any “UT” flair to it 🙁 Developing ideas for such an open-ended request has been kind of difficult, but I’m nonetheless excited to have this as my first illustration assignment.

 

EDITING ALL ASSIGNED V-LABS

Today I finished editing all my assigned v-labs in the spreadsheet. Although, some are still in review so I might need to keep editing those. For now, I am working on other items till I get assigned more of these to touch and fix up. It is easier to edit pngs and swap them out. I wasn’t confident that I remembered how to use canvasser but for tweaks like this it is fairly easy with minimal edits needing to be made to the functionality of the interactive.
