This week I worked largely on the InDesign and HTML/CSS trainings. I also made a simple grid background for a Zoom-based history class.
Also, here is my HTML/CSS training site thus far! Let me know what you think, it’s been a labor of love so far. I’m mostly working just on adding text content to the various tabs now, and might incorporate other features / functionalities later.
This week, I started the HTML/CSS training (very excited about this but not a ton to add yet), continued the InDesign Part 2 training, and wrapped up the Canvasser training. I also completed a Zoom background for a US history class which you can see here!
I wanted to make a blog post, but I haven’t made one in a pretty long time, so I was going to make a blog post on both Clio and the Religiology Logo, but now I am just going to wait until I meet with Valerie and Maddy tomorrow to talk about the religiology logo.
Regarding this training, I am now wrapping up on the second part. The second part was much more focused on understanding the CSS involved in customizing your specific page. I used the CSS editor to create a picture-background, a picture-header, a Google Font, and a picture card header. I included some dark blue/green elements because I thought the old color scheme was a little boring.
Made on Photoshop using the green from the photo, filter gallery (which produced an effect that actually looks like a hard court!), and the photos. I think I am going to get rid of the pictures and try something else.
Declaring the colors that are referenced throughout the CSS sheet.
Creating the custom classes for picture card headers, also changing the font family referenced in each card.
Looked at the source code to understand how tables were set up, then adjusted the CSS code to enable a table with custom colors and the ability to show hovering. I used this table to explain “Bonus Shots” in tennis that are fun to employ.
Poonum and I have been hard at work making the InDesign Part II: Flyer Design training! I made the banner for the KB today. I’ve also been working on a training for cutting out objects in Photoshop that went on the KB on Wednesday!
I made a variety of designs for the UT Search Committee Workshop’s Canvas website, here are some of the buttons I created for it:
I (almost) finished my basic training for my CLIO website. I’m feeling pretty good about it and Thuy’s been really helpful with helping out in the details.
Here are some snapshots of it:
I just started this basic training. My theme for these flashcards is travel (on an airplane) and I’ve chosen the following pictures for them:
Here’s how the first flashcard is looking so far:
Here are three pictures from STAs that I edited the background off:
Today I began studio course graphic training and did some IDs, as well as met with the Assistant Director of British Studies’ site to discuss proposed changes to their site.
Here’s an example of the IDs and the draft for the studio graphic training:
The ID was good quality so it didn’t require much editing, the only change I made was add some noise to her face as the filter she seemed to be using looks a little heavy-handed.
