This week, I also did some photo IDs and gave feedback on a bunch of InDesign trainings. It’s super helpful to see where people tend to struggle or make design mistakes at the moment because I’m about to start help train layout designers at the Daily Texan (wish me luck).
In other news, Angie tells me Dr. Iverson’s class really appreciated the animation (credit goes to her on the scuba diver, though)!
I use Live Trace a lot at the Daily Texan to vectorized stock icons for infographics, but I rarely use it for photos, so this training was neat to do. I have a Macbook Air, though, so every time I tried to copy the AI vector into Photoshop, my computer got hot and froze up. It seemed to work with just one vector layer instead of multiple, though.
Worked on Basic Training and Photo ID’s this week! Currently waiting on feedback for my InDesign spread. I changed the text to fit two columns and removed the spacing in between. I also adjusted the placement of the images and I think it’s looking pretty good!
Lastly, I worked on Color Correction with Abriella and it was cool to learn about the different ways to edit photos. I may or may not try color-changing my hair to see what I will dye it next haha.
Today I was working on my Cascade Training. I was finally able to create and upload my banner. For my Cascade website, I want to us it as an online portfolio. There I can showcase all my recent creations.
Here is my banner design.
I got the chance to create my own Canvas Callout Buttons. Here are a few of my designs.
I had so much fun editing these photos. It was pure happiness when I saw my edited photos on the actual website. Even though I faced a few challenges on the way, I was glad to overcome them. I can’t wait to have the opportunity to work on some more.
