Images for Portrait Photography Guide

Portrait Photography Guide – Image Editing

Design STAs are working on updating the Portrait Photography Guide for COLA faculty, staffs, and graduate students to follow when submitting a photo ID. Suloni wants the images to show that the photo should be taken by another person in good lighting and with sharp focus. I worked on the images for the first part of the guideline:

 

“Having a partner take your photo will make it possible to have enough distance between you and the camera so that you are properly framed in the composition. Choose a place with good lighting. It is best to have even lighting across your face, so there are minimal shadows on your face. You can achieve this by facing directly towards the source of light. Outdoor lighting is best between 7:45 pm and 8:30 pm in the summer time, lighting is even and gentle and won’t cause the subject to squint.”

How to process a banner change request

KB – How to Process a Cascade Banner Change Request

STAs are working on clearing out old and irrelevant posts on the KB, these are old tutorials we have on banner change:

https://sites.la.utexas.edu/kb/2019/07/30/update-the-homepage-banner/

https://sites.la.utexas.edu/kb/2013/09/19/cascade-banner-client-guide/

The links on the Cascade Banner Client Guide are broken and the homepage banner update tutorial doesn’t cover how to process the request before going into Cascade, so I drafted a new banner change tutorial that combines those two posts and shows the steps before going into Cascade.

 

This is the banner I made for the new banner change tutorial:
