Another request I received was to update the website for the French/Italian grad program at UT. They had images representing the posters advertising the programs but the formatting was off and they were all different sizes. To fix this, Andre and I re-uploaded the posters and made them each into separate divs in html which allowed us to specify the correct size. I forgot to take a before screenshot but here is the result after:

I was requested to update the plan II video on http://liberalarts.utexas.edu/plan2/admission/index.php, because for some reason it had black bars on the top and bottom. Working with Andre we ended up using a Flex html plugin which allows us to embed youtube videos with widescreen formatting.

The code ended up looking like this:

<div class=”flex-video widescreen vimeo”><iframe width=”800″ height=”450″ allowfullscreen=”” frameborder=”0″ mozallowfullscreen=”” src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/7vktNhdGlA8″ webkitallowfullscreen=””></iframe></div>

And the result is here:

Made some good progress the last few days! Last week I was assigned a “Family Tree” illustration for the Oleg drawings. On Friday I found some reference material and made a mock-up of my planned illustration, and today I started drawing it, managing to get a large portion of the tree finalized! I also animated a calendar with pages being torn off, an animated symbol that will be used in a large portion of the RUS407 Animations! I included a gif of the swimming fish I completed awhile back as well. There is still a lot to do with those RUS407 Animations but I’m eager to keep making progress on them and the family tree!

Today was a long day. I was alone in the lab for my last shift: more than 5 hours!

I worked on my first challenging project for TBH. A page with a lot of simultaneous moving objects and layers. It took me a while to get it done but I’m very proud of it. Here are the results.

Haven’t really been able to post this week but I’ve done some good work! I’ve added more symbols to the collection for the RUS407 animations, like a waitress outfit and a canoe. I also started working on a large family tree for Polina’s family for the Oleg Illustrations! So far I’ve just made an ornamental nameplate for the family members’ names and sepia filter photos of each family member, I’ve included a few here.

Today I worked on going through the list of needed symbols for the RUS407 Animations and completed the Cafe Set and the Fish Animated Swim cycle. Both of these will be used for multiple different animations! With the Cafe Set, I’d love to add a few more adornments to really tie the set together (pictures on the wall, a rug, etc.) but this is the bare minimum to have a working set for those animations! Excited to get some more symbols knocked out soon!
