Week 20

Project: HTML Live Website

Started on: Mar 24, 2022

Completed on: Mar 24, 2022

Staff Guidance: Stacy

Description: For this project, I need to edit the design of the HTML Live website. I made a rough design in Figma of how the website looks like. After that, I implement the changes into the real site. There is one thing to note which is that in real site, the template that the conference website offers makes it really hard for me to implement the change because the site is divided into above the player, the player and below the player. I need to experiment with different elements in order to navigate myself through the HTML changes.

Week LXV

For the first time ever, I forgot to update my blog last week! That’s how busy I’ve been!

GSD Course Posters

I had just about wrapped these up by the time of the meeting last week. I ended up completing around half of them myself.

After we compiled all the pdfs into one folder, I edited the instructor names and course times onto them. It was a good test of adobe acrobat’s pdf editing capabilities. Editing text is very straightforward, and images can be edited too, though replacing them might be harder for collages. The idea is that professors and faculty can edit their own promotional materials for future semesters.

We have 5 courses to modify into screen ads, but Maddy is working on a template for that.

UTFC

So, I don’t have as many fun pictures for this, because the most time has been put into unraveling the logistical issues behind the pictures. It turns out, we may need to redo somewhere between 2,000 and 17,000 images due to copyright conflicts. That will be some fun logistics. I did learn a lot about creative commons licenses in the meantime!
