Additions to the Precourse Video

After getting some notes on the current video, one part that was suggested was to make the emergency exit sequence more of a map route style.

Currently, the sequence shows the exit doors as the voice over describes the location. So now, we’re gonna try and do an iteration of the scene based on a map of the room. Here’s what the map looks like.

 

Here are some iterations I made.

It’s all a work in progress and I was given notes to make the map reflect the look of the studio itself so I’ll be working on that this week as well as other assets.

 

New Assignment: UTFC Banners

This was a pretty straightforward assignment as we just had to use a tamplate to make banners for the textbook. Here are examples of the banners I made.

Week 35

Project: Shiny App

Started on:  Feb 9, 2023

Staff Guidance: Stacy

Description: The main objectives of the project lies on the creation of a map application to help students, researchers or map enthusiastic to build and filter the map based on the data they had. The Global Voyages Map have several important functions that make this objective happen including uploading the file through CSV files or through an online link, generating the map with filter slider and filter voyage and download the map as a standalone html file.

Currently, there are several features implemented which is uploading the file, generating the map and downloading the map. There are filter slider for dates and voyages. However, the only thing that does not work well is the filter slider since the map and the filter resets after the user touches and tinker around the filter.

More surprisingly, the problem only occurs on my end not on the client’s side. I suspect the discrepancies happen because of the mismatch of the versions of R and R studio, but even after I install the same version of the software, the problem persists. Therefore, it takes me so much time to figure out the problem.

I also tried Dash, another R studio alternative, to see if I can make the application work easily with their platform. However, the download button does not work smoothly for Plotply map.

I’m so excited to be doing the STA poster this semester! Currently we’re in the drafting phase. Though I’d love to show more of my drafts, unfortently I’ve been having trouble uploading my images so here’s just a few of my drafts to show.

Here’s an early draft:

And then we took a new direction to embrace more of a paper-y look, which brought me here:

And this is the idea we’ll be pursuing further!

 

Here’s a recap on what I worked on in December / since my last post! Last year (hahahaha)!

Worked a lot on this project where I created all these little graphics for a pre-roll and title slide for HIS 315L! I tried to pick different objects/people from the previous graphics for the class and then did a lot of tracing/shape layer in Illustrator to get to the final designs. De’sha stepped in when I left for break and did the final touches.

Farewell!

As the semester comes to a close, so does my time as an STA here with LAITS. I’m sad to leave, but excited for what the future holds!

Over the last couple months, I had a fulfilling and meaningful time. This is the first time I’ve gotten to work in an environment that’s so supportive and creative. I really felt a sense of belonging among my peers. My favorite part about working at LAITS was the weekly meetings where I could learn more about my peers and their personal projects and goals. One of my goals going into the job was to connect with more people and develop my creative skills, and I certainly was able to achieve this. I didn’t anticipate to be leaving so soon, but I’m happy for the time that I was able to spend as an STA.

One of my favorite projects was the logo designs for the ACME Widget Co., where I was able to flex my creative muscles and hone skills that I have been wanting to work on, such as logo design and illustration. I’m very proud of the results and the process that lead me to them!

As I grow and develop in my career, I will always remember my time at LAITS fondly. I’m so glad I was able to learn and grow with my teammates. Special thanks to De’sha, Leilani, Lorena, and Carrie, as well as everyone else who was so helpful and welcoming! Thank you for sharing your perspectives with me and helping me do my best.

All The Best,

Princeton
