Started working on my UX/UI design training, so far it’s been pretty interesting! A part of the training is to design a 3 page site for a fake client, and I’m choosing to make a site for a flowers saleswoman. Below is the my layout plans for the site, and then a screenshot of my current progress.

Week LXV

March 7, 2023 By Adrian McKee

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!

Week 18 – Thang

Week 18

Project: Master of Arts in Economics

Started on: Feb 28, 2022

Completed on: Mar 3, 2022

Staff Guidance: Stacy

Description: For this project, I will need to do the following:

  1. Fixing the news and events section
  2. Adding Accordion FAQ
  3. Adding Documentations on how to help the client navigate through different pages.

Number 1: Fixing the news and events section

Before, the news and events section query and get data from all of the posts. Since the website eliminates all of the posts due to the confusion between posts and pages, the news and events section now is just a column of pre-determined pages.

Number 2: Adding Accordion FAQ

After the meeting with the client, the accordion FAQ is proposed to be implemented by the client. I went ahead and added a Spectra plugin that can help with displaying the accordion. The accordion looks something like this.

 

Number 3: Adding Documentation on how to help the client navigate.

There are a lot of different things that I need to add for the documentation including how to navigate the home page, how to edit the footer, header and how to navigate other pages. Moreover, I also need to show how to edit and add items in the navigation menu.

 

Project: Conference Website

Started on: Mar 2, 2022
