Weekly updates

I took Monday off this week for a medical appointment at a weird time. Here’s what I worked on this week and last week! I also was able to schedule a meeting with Marla to discuss Chatter numbers and whatnot for the PR project. I plan on talking with Chris Pittman next, and hopefully Matthew nails down the faculty presentation soon.

Photo ID Guidelines

Ingrid, Angie, Abriella and I have all been working to update the photo ID aesthetic guidelines and training. Last week, we finished the aesthetic edits slide deck, and this week, we chose photos — categorized into easy, medium and hard — for new STAs to practice on. Here are examples:

 

Here are a couple of slides from the slide deck. I actually learned about the selective color tool from Cristina — changed my life. I also tried to emphasize in the slide deck that most photos will need more than one type of edit, and some edits require others after (like cool color balance –> vibrance)

 

 

Color grading training

This was super fun! Thanks to Sheryl for making it! For ~fall vibes~ I chose to match colors to Wes Anderson’s adaptation of “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” incidentally one of my favorite movies.
