I spent the last two weeks going over the details of editing the instructions, what staff can and can’t do, need to make a fac and grad editing view, etc, etc. This is my first completed draft of the staff instructions. Suloni is going to look over them and provide me with feedback. For now,it is drafted out in my test site in Cascade.
Suloni, Valerie, Maddy, and I have been in communication on ways to improve the photo ID editing process and submission. As COVID continues on, we have many staff, faculty, and grad students taking their own photos at home instead of our studios which complicates the editing process as each photo may contain numerous errors not align with our guidelines. One way to help with this to have an email template requesting new photos and another to make the notification of uploads clearer.
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.
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.
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.
Suloni wanted me to create a test page where I create different ways to easily visually enhance test heavy body content to make some COLA sites more appealing. Here are some of the elements I have drafted up. I am still trying to figure out some types of different formatting.
