Current Sta
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!
This week I’ve been continuing studio graphic training, working on IDs, and starting COLA Guides edits. I met with Abriella, Thuy, Bridget, and Sheryl to talk about these edits. Today (Friday) I’ve spent most of my shift working on captioning for the E316M class. It was my first time doing real captioning edits (I did a bit for the Texas Politics podcasts, but that just involved copying and pasting the auto captions from the UT Libraries’ software). This was a bit more intensive than I expected, just because it involved a lot of rewinding and some guesswork to get each and every word as close to as what was really said as possible.
I started off my Canvasser activity planning to create an interactive map of penguins in the southern hemisphere in which you would click a point in the map and a pop-up would show the type of penguin that lived in that specific location. Here’s some previews I made:
Unfortunately, the activity wasn’t related to my CLIO website topic, so I came up with another idea. The player would be looking at a house located in Austin. They would be able to see the patterns of sunlight and shadows throughout the day, and make an assessment of which walls get the most sunlight.
This would be the interface that prompts the start of the activity:
The orange buttons indicate a pop-up that shows each wall of the house:
Here is how each of the walls of the house look:
With a moveable measuring tape, the player will be able to measure windows and wall elements:
Here are some of the photo IDs I edited this week:
On Wednesday, I started making the tutorial for cutting out hair and finer objects in Photoshop. I wrote out the instructions on Basecamp and chose some photos for STAs to work on. I picked easy, medium, and hard choices:
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:
IĀ 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:
This week, I did ID edits and continued the studio graphic training, as well as helped edit STA poster photos. š
Here’s a (very) rough draft of where I want to go with the studio graphic canvas banner! I’ll overlay an envelope distortion like this over the photograph I’m using, I’m excited to see the end product.
I’m also excited to start the E316M captioning project, as I’ve been training to start next week š
