Last day at LAITS!

I’ve been an STA at LAITS for around 6 months and it has been a great experience so far! Suloni, thank you for being such an amazing supervisor. I really enjoyed working here and will miss working with all the super talented STAs!

I was constantly amazed by the design skills of the STAs & the artwork created here. I learned a lot about Web Design, Responsive CSS, WordPress & Photoshop during my time at LAITS. I was a newbie to Photoshop when I joined here but I was quite surprised at the plant illustrations that I could create – Thank you Valerie for answering all my questions related to Photoshop so patiently!

I think the STA program is a wonderful place to learn new skills and apply them and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it. Thank you everyone for making my time here so fun and memorable!

I’ve been looking for funding opportunities so I will be moving on to a Teaching Assistant role for McCombs School of Business for a Data Management course. I will miss being an STA! This is my first job in this country after getting a work permit so I will always cherish it. Cheers to all the STAs and wish you all the best for your future endeavors at LAITS and beyond. Thank you!

NTR 306 studio graphics

Lots of professors are requesting graphics this week because classes start on Wednesday (although they had all summer :/). We’re pretty swamped right now, and so I took over the studio portion of this from Poonum so she could work on something else. It was pretty simple to do, even though they ended up not needing the graphics.

After a few days of trial and error in After Effects, I finally got the hang of basic animation! I couldn’t have done it without some help, though. Angie drew me the scuba diver and Quinn found the old coral reef animation for the background! Here’s the final cut:
