Racial Geography

Still working on Racial Geography Tour! This past week I added some media queries, which basically allow me to change how the website looks based on how big the window is (helpful for making web mobile accessible for example). I made it so that at when the window gets to be to small, the info panel stretches to fit the entire page (covering the video). I also made it so that when the window shrinks causing the heading to overflow off the header, the address fades away.

Then I continued working on the accordions a bit more. I animated the arrow icons, so that when the text drops down, it turns points downward instead of left. I ran into an issue where the end of the Transcript wasn’t showing up/being covered by the bottom of the window, so I’ve asked Stacy for some help.

Finally, I changed up the font more to match Jac’s mockup, since the address and section text didn’t look quite right.

Canvasser

Nick trained me in using Canvasser! We’ll be using canvasser to make interactives for eanthro vlabs. It’s been quite the process since it seems like we are going to be remaking all the assets for all the interactives, AND creating them in canvasser. Luckily, I worked with canvasser a little with Rodrigo (previous computer support proj), so I was familiar with the canvasser layout. Nick was a great teacher, and I picked it up pretty quickly.

Here’s the sample interactive we all created for our training (It looks soooo much better with Emily’s design applied to it!):

Cascade

This morning, I was assigned some Cascade updates for the computer support page. I’m going to be adding a separate page for additional info/contact us info and putting in some new links.

This is what the draft site looks like right now (Rodrigo made it!):
