Last full week!

December 3, 2021 By Megan Fletcher

Last full week!

It’s my last full week here before winter break! Here’s what I’ve been up to this week:

  • LRC version below was approved by the client!
  • Trainings:
    • Bezier curves in typography
    • Shape manipulation
  • Photo IDs
  • Feedback

In other news, I left The Daily Texan on Friday after two years. 🙁 You can read my -30- column here (what we write when we leave the paper to say goodbye).

Another week!

This week

I don’t have a ton of visual things this week, unfortunately. Here’s what I was up to:

  • STA evaluation
  • Feedback on trainings
    • InDesign
    • Typography
    • Photo IDs
    • Web accessibility
  • Meeting with Jacob and Brittany about RSCs
  • Write-ups and edits of Chatter and RSC
  • Got started on Advanced Motion Graphics training

The LRC people got back to me today, and they want some UT campus imagery on the second page to give a light sense of campus, seeing as this program is being advertised to international students. Here are a few images I’m playing with:

I also finished up my crochet blanket last week! Excuse the mess in the photo and the un-weaved in end, but it took me about a month to make (36×48 inches) and I’ll be donating it to the local chapter of Project Linus this week.

Work, continued

More LRC flyer, photo ID training, continued

This week, I continued to work on the LRC flyer’s expanded design, the new photo ID training, photo ID editing, and the brochure training. I was able to condense the three-page draft into two with Valerie’s help, and hopefully the client will like it. I also created the master Basecamp assignment for the new photo ID training. I also met with Maddy about edits from her and Mike to my Chatter write-up.

More LRC flyer

November 1, 2021 By Megan Fletcher

This last week (more LRC flyer)

I haven’t had a ton of shifts since I last posted, but I’ve mostly been working on the flyer design advertising the Visiting Scholars Program at the Linguistics Research Center and the photo ID KB.

The LRC provided the copy (words) for the flyer, and well, it’s a lot. Our current proposal is to make a packet, seeing as each page is the regular 8.5 x 11 inch paper (mostly digital).

Photo ID KB progress

The photo ID KB revisions are almost done! This last week, I added:

  • Photo submission guidelines
  • A few exceptions to photo submission rules
    • Faculty photos with medical masks
    • Naval Science cropping to show medals for 200×300 photos
  • What do to with photos that don’t meet guidelines, but might be good for the body of a faculty member’s profile page
  • A separate KB article for email templates regarding all things photo IDs
