These are my three different drafts for the COM 301 banner. Maddy suggested these assets from the animation to use so I tried to incorporate them in a variety of ways. I’m still waiting on feedback to see if there are any edits Maddy wants to see to make this look better. Then I will move on to make the canvas dashboard graphic based on what we decide to go with for this.
KB Color Corrections Continued…
I added another section about color balance. I think I have about four more sections to cover before all the tools for color correcting are mention.
I have been working on the photoshop color correction KB. There is so much information that could be said about these things but I am trying to dilute it and add what is most important for basic skills so that this training isn’t information overload. Within each of these sections I try to add a line about how the STA should replicate my example below. That way there is a comparison they can try to make to see if they are doing it correctly. I still have an equal amount of sections to complete then revise the instructions to be better and incorporate feedback. Hopefully, it is helpful when completed.
Not very exciting and a small update but I was always having trouble finding the one page with all the COLA department logos so I added it under the UT Branding section that Bridget made in the KB.
The following are all the course assets that I made for the British Literature class. Maddy first had me work on the animation parts to determine the rest of the course look. Tate did an amazing job animating it all it looked even better than I had originally thought! The first video is of my quick rough draft as well as an image of what all the images should look like together. Then I attached the final animation we will be using. For some reason I can’t center justify the first video so ignore that but take a look.
Then I made the parts for Canvas which included the homepage, dashboard, and buttons. I used images from the animation for the course. I decided to go with the royal blue color to take a break from all the red of the curtains.
Then I had to make the studio assets which included the two wall monitors and a desk skirt. There was also a PowerPoint and ipad overlay.
Here is what everything looks like:
Below I copy-pasted the schedule that Maddy made for us STAs to help train new hires. We also did a warm-up training called the exquisite corpse that was our fun ice-breaker since we can’t meet in person and all. The one my group made is below also. The prompt was a great king bug.
10:00 am 1 hr – Meeting – Everybody
Introductions (30 min): Normally we would tour the office but we can do a quick get to know you/circle of trust. Maddy will call on new and old STAs to share, and screenshare your bios that have been created so you can base off that. Share a crazy fact or expand upon something in your bio 🙂
11:00 am 25 min – Buddy work
Walk through Basecamp together by screen sharing. Make sure you walk through the checklist (IN COMMENTS BELOW) step by step.
Show how to write a Daily Plan, then guide them through as they write their own (maybe stop screensharing right here)
Walk through Box screen share, following the checklist (also in comments below) step by step. Stop screen share, then Instruct your buddy to find a SFW meme they like, download it, upload it to their Box + share to their Daily Plan Basecamp
If you finish early, tell them to explore Basecamp until the next meeting.
