LAITS Portfolio Page

March 27, 2017 By Roopa Nagarajan

This is the LAITS Portfolio page.

When I first began, there were only 6 boxes/two rows of projects, and only two of those had modal boxes pop ups.

I added 12 new projects/5 rows (1 row not pictured here).

Some code for some of the boxes

_______

I went to every website and found an icon/thumbnail for each.

For example:

From this image on Tex’s French Grammar,

I created a thumbnail image

And inserted it into the code

__________________________________

Then I had to make the modal boxes, for example:

They pop up when About is clicked in each project’s box. The banner image and about image had to be taken from the site or created using elements of the site.

Each modal box also contained a summary of the site’s description and an explanation of its purpose, which I took from a provided spreadsheet and edited.

I did this for 13 boxes, as 2 had already been finished.

Some code for the modal boxes.

_________

We wanted to change the top header image into a featured image. The featured project was Jazz Appreciation.

I mocked up a design for a header image:

These musicians and format are from a previous project I did for Jazz Appreciation.

We switched the color palette and changed/added some text.

Here is the final featured project design with guides and layers. Layers will be used as a template for future projects.

Childrens’ Research Trifold Template

February 27, 2017 By Roopa Nagarajan

I was Team Lead for the Childrens’ Research project, during which we created templates (bifold, trifold, postcard, and newsletter) for the 11 Psychology department laboratories. This role involved client communication, getting templates made by other members of the team, creating Box folders to organize the project, and keeping track of the progress overall. I also taught basic InDesign processes for layout and picture placing to the other members so that they could create their templates.

In order, the first inside flap, the back, the front cover; the inner side/all main content

Screenshot of work with guides.

After having created a template and getting it approved, I created 11 replacement templates by placing the relevant images in to the layout.

Slide Scanning Edits

February 6, 2017 By Roopa Nagarajan

Slide scanning.

Raw scan

Auto color.

After auto-coloring, increased brightness, vibrance, saturation, and lowered contrast, then increased the lightness of only the Blues for the sky.

After making all corrections, desaturated then increased brightness and lowered contrast for the new black & white. Changed image size and picture resolution to client’s needs.

Taking the rough slides that Hellmer uploaded and going through this process

  • change to 16:9 ratio
  • (if images) change ppt to .zip
  • change theme to black + white text
  • add a content background jpg and question background jpg (apply to all)
  • replace fonts to change all font to Candara
