Week 6

the ridiculous six

MAY 23rd  – 25th

During my 6th week as STA I continued my web development project for the university’s Psychology Labs. Using the WordPress Multisite, I drafted a new template for the Developmental Behavior Genetics Lab. Afterwards, I reached out to the client for their approval. Below are some screenshots of my work.

  Week 3

shrek the third

MAY 1st – 5th

This is my third week as a Web Development and Design STA,  I worked on a few more trainings. I also worked alongside Thang on a web development project.

One of the trainings I completed was HTML & CSS 02: Basic Web Pages. I was able to learn some new things about the innerworkings of a website by creating my own webpage from scratch using HTML and CSS in Visual Studio Code. It took me some time to research how to adapt the tutorial’s instructions, for they were designed for Atom; yet, I enjoyed working on the assignment and am excited to learn more about the magic behind websites. I left some screenshots of my work below.

Week 1 – 2

my 1st week!

APRIL 21st – 28th

This was my first week as a Web Development and Design STA 🙂 🙂 🙂 let’s gooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I trained one-on-one with Thang and published my first ever website! We used WordPress to update the university’s Psychology Lab webpages. Thanks to Daniela, we were given an up-to-date template to work with. After taking a look at how previous content was transferred, we cloned the new template site using the NS Cloner plug-in. We then copied content from the ten-year-old site into its new template using block coding. I also learned how to edit the website’s backend using HTML and CSS in Visual Studio Code. The Psych Lab pages will soon be ready for client review once they’re cross-referenced with the design team for crisp visuals.

Here are some screenshots of our work :

I also began working on the banner design for my STA Blog Post page. I started creating my official background in Miro. I am now developing drafts for typography using Photoshop. My end goal is to create a three-dimensional graffiti font.
