Today I worked on more for the CC 303 online textbook. I organized images and added them to the text along with their titles and details.

Today I learned the basics of using a chalk brush in Photoshop, and did a few little practice sketches. I’ve been playing with the brushes and really hope I can improve!

Today I’ve been trying to figure out Cascade. Some of it is easy to do, but I’m still getting used to it and currently am trying to figure out how to make the news stories show up on the page. It’s a good thing I didn’t start out with a ‘real’ page!

Here’s another COLA ID I worked on today, the original is on the right. I lightened up the background with a combination of the dodge tool and a low opacity brush with a lighter color. I also got rid of the heavy shadows on the face.

 

More Texas Beyond History! Today I worked mostly on the kid’s page “World of the Caddos”, copying and pasting text and pictures from the old site and importing them to the new site. There’s still a lot more to do…..

 

I have also been told I will be learning how to make faculty profiles and interview professors and faculty soon. Hopefully the professors know what they would like to have on their sites!

I’m working on more page editing for the Texas Beyond History Project, inserting text, pictures, and captions into the site and updating it. Hopefully it will turn out looking good and formatted correctly!
