STA Blog

Orientation

November 6, 2024 By Kate Shih

Orientation

This was my first week as a Design STA! I went over the handbook, customized my blog, and got to meet my fellow STAs.

Using Dropbox

The first thing I did was find a meme and upload it to Dropbox.

STA Bio

Next, I made my STA bio. I used Photoshop and InDesign. I decided to keep it relatively simple, keeping it at two fonts and two colors.

STA Handbook

After that, I made a slideshow recapping the STA Handbook using Google Slides. This was an interesting process for me because usually when I use Google Slides, I use a premade template. It was fun to get to test my design skills somewhere where I don’t usually utilize them.

STA Caricature

Lastly, I made my STA caricature using Illustrator. Graphic design/character design is not my strongest skill, so I was a little daunted by this, but I’m happy with the way it turned out! I think in the future, I’d like to work on making faces slightly more realistic, but for the most part, I’m happy with the style and turnout of this caricature.
