TXDST Website Wireframing

March 27, 2023 By Luisa Matzner

Texas Domestic Slavery Project

Website

Project: TXDST Website
Client /Prof: Internal
Completion Status: Started Mar 22
Staff Guidance: Maddy and Stacy
Description: Sketching wireframes for the website.
To be completed: Week of Mar. 27

Here are some wireframes for the TXDST website, which will function as an archive and house stories about slavery in Texas, a topic that isn’t documented almost at all. It’s been fun to explore a different area of design outside of my typical graphic design, as well as getting the opportunity to work on such an interesting project.

Registration Pre-roll

Pre-Roll Video with “Registration Open” Messaging

Project: Summer Marketing Pre-roll Videos
Client /Prof: Internal
Completion Status: Started Mar 20
Staff Guidance: Maddy
Description: Adding bubbles and banners with “registration open” messaging
To be completed: Mar. 22

The final pre-roll edit consists of adding bubbles and banners with “registration open now” messaging so that they can run after April 3. I designed the little bubble that appears at the beginning and animated it. I’m also planning on reusing a banner asset from a previous pre-roll video to add into the outro, again advertising that registration is now open.

Faculty Survey Data Entry

Faculty Survey

Data Entry

Project: Faculty survey preliminary data entry
Client /Prof: Internal
Completion Status: Started Mar 7
Staff Guidance: Stacy
Description: Inputting initial data for the faculty service survey
To be completed: Mar. 10

This week, I helped input fabricated data to generate graphs for the faculty service survey. Stacy had set up a spreadsheet detailing which data to input and how to write it in properly, then a few of my fellow STAs and I filled out a UT Qualtrics form. The overall purpose of the survey is to measure faculty involvement in service positions, primarily within committees in their college, school, or unit.

$500 Pre-roll

$500 Intro for Pre-Roll Video

Project: Summer Marketing Pre-roll Videos
Client /Prof: Internal
Completion Status: Started Mar 6
Staff Guidance: Maddy
Description: Final export for $500 intro pre-roll.
To be completed: Mar. 10

My quest to become an After Effects master continues! For this pre-roll, I was tasked to take the newly-edited pre-roll (see last week) and add an intro specifically marketing the $500 courses. I was given an AI file with graphics to work with by Maddy. From there, I embedded the proper vector graphics into After Effects. The main animation was fairly simple, just having the colors of the course titles switch through a few different iterations. The hardest part was actually splicing the $500-specific animation into the existing video without messing up the already-finished transitions and pans, then cutting the entire video down to 30 seconds. I learned a lot about workflows in After Effects, since I had to edit compositions embedded in other compositions and figure out how the edits would cascade throughout. I’m really proud of the end result, especially because I wrote the color animations from scratch, keyframes and all!
