RSS – Image Annotation

RSS – Image Annotation

 

The Remote Studio System (RSS) is a set of equipment, training materials, LAITS staff support and methodology designed to create professional, polished online instructional media. STAs were tasked with sets of images to annotate(captions, labels, arrows, or other helpful design touches). We were given specific font choice, size, arrow type, and padding to keep all annotation consistent. These are the images I was assigned:

CH 304K and CH 305 Chemistry in Context

May 28, 2020 By Abriella Corker

CH 304K and CH 305 Chemistry in Context

Edits for the requested style b package. We went with this color purple for a fun contrast with the yellow flame in the banner. I also did custom edits to the button bottom bar to be a shade of the purple instead of a gray. Both courses have the same title and instructors so the only edit I made differently was changing the “CH 304k” with “CH 305”.

PDF Design Menu for Summer Online Courses– STYLE A

May 20, 2020 By Sheryl Long

PDF Design Menu for Summer Online Courses– Style A

 

I was tasked with the role of project lead for creating the client-facing PDF Design Menus for Summer Online Courses style A, which is the more formal monochromatic version of the two versions that we are going to offer our client. Project managers will use our PDF Design Menus to show clients what we can offer them to customize the graphics for their course.

 

Canvas Homepage Graphics

This is the general style guide for the canvas homepage banner

For style A, we are using the round canvas button graphics

Canvas Dashboard

To make sure the course title and professor’s name are legible, we decided to keep the dashboard graphic clean.

Stingers (More icons!)

We are offering 4 general stinger options for both style A and style B: Quiz, TA Discussion, Chat, and Survey. Style B will be in a different color scheme

Back to making icons yay 😀

     

     

Title Slide and Pre-roll

Professors can request a title slide for their ppt presentation. Pre-rolls will be sent to the video team for animation.

iPad Overlay

This is a mock up of how the course will look on ipads.

RSS Annotations

May 15, 2020 By

I’ve begun work to annotate some photos that help instructors set up in-home studios for classes. There is a strict appearance for shadows, text, and arrows which I’m following, and almost all of the photos I’ve gotten have had the need for a stronger gradient beneath to make the text visible, but maybe I should be looking to find darker elements in the photo to place the text instead.

LACS Infographic

LACS Infographic – Entrepreneurship

 

The design STAs are creating infographics that will replace the text on the career guides pages: https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/lacs/graduate-students/guide-intro.php

 

My assigned topic is Entrepreneurship. With Bridget’s template, we are able to speed up the process and maintain a consistent art style. I spent the past week creating icons for the “Pathway” sections, which shows the career options of each topic, it was a really interesting learning process with all the advice and resources Suloni, Abriella, and Bridget provided. These are some icons I made:

 

This is how the infographic looks right now:
