Small update on studio graphics, I designed a storyboard for a potential animation! The idea here is that the color bars/boxes slide across the screen. I’m terrible at drawing so I didn’t visualize my entire concept but the animation would end with one of the black grid squares expanding and the title of the course fading in.

Weekly Classical Music Recommendation

I’ve been on and off sick for the last 2 weeks so there hasn’t been any classical music recommendation 🙁 or regular blog posts. I got a bacterial skin infection and then got a bad allergic reaction to the prescribed antibiotics, so I had to go to urgent care twice. It was unfortunate because it was right during the first week of school. But everything got sorted out now so I’m back yayy!

I’ve been wanting to recommend this piece so much but I didn’t have the time to until now. Here’s Liszt’s Reminiscenses de Norma, the paraphrase of the opera Norma by Bellini. The piece is an absolute fiery, grand masterpiece (after listening to it I was like La Campanella is overrated this is the best Liszt piece ever, but my phase might change LOL). The piece is packed with different emotions, yet overflowed with beautiful melodies (and of course, extremely difficult technical passages T.T). Please please please give it a try if you have time :).

Diversity and Inclusion Training CLIO Meeting

Today I had a meeting with Dr. Hunt and Dr. Lundy on building a CLIO site for the Diversity and Inclusion Training. Here’s a screenshot of the meeting notes I took.

I’m super excited to move forward with this project since I get to play around with CLIO again! I’ll be waiting for updates from Dr. Hunt and Dr. Lundy once they’ve had the basic course materials in!

Editing V-Lab Stills

I can’t include any text that gives away any information but I am reformatting the look of some of the still PNGs. Basically making it black and white to match the look of the GRAV site.

KB: What Trainings are Needed?

After taking stock of what was on KB and archiving old content I am now going back in and looking at what trainings could be made new again and which ones are done for good.

 

 

CASCADE DESIGN BEST PRACTICES 

This is my first draft of a visually appealing Cascade site. Suloni suggested making the length of the body short so that I will be able to screenshot it and label it easily without it being so long. Right now it is very generic but the next draft will include a more specific theme or topic. The four colors of the external buttons a the bottom are going to inform the look of the page since they can’t be changed in color. To make the body shorter, I will remove the orange pull-quote, right-justified image, and youtube video since it is in the right-sidebar already.
