Hello,

It’s been a while, blog. Since being gone this week, lots has happened, and I thought I’d share my progress here.

Here’s some examples of a few IDs I’ve been assigned this week. There’s something really soothing about editing them, so I can’t say I don’t enjoy processing them. These two were both simple enough, although the first one required some color correction — a balancing act, since while the severely red/warm tones were unflattering, if I made it too cool-toned I ran the risk of washing out her naturally warmer skin tone.

Next, I’ve been working on course graphic training. Between the two styles I dabbled in, I preferred B, and I think it especially turned out nicely for this course, ARH 332K – Northern Renaissance Art 1350-1500, that I am registered to take in the fall (and super excited about). Here’s the design menu I recently produced for it. The background for the images is from Dürer’s print, The Patron Saints of Austria. :^)

Lastly, I just finished my first draft for a new informal logo for a new major (exciting, I know!), Race, Indigeneity, and Migration. The design brief asked for something super simple, and I used the font Josefin Sans for now, but that is subject to change.

I started updating the pull quotes KB to add more detailed instructions. This is a work in progress and I will add more instructions to make it as clear as possible for STAs who are new to HTML/CSS.

Last week and this week, I’ve continued to work on UWC along with RIM Cascade site set-up and Pull Quotes KB in between.

I updated the statistics on the uwc home page and added an announcement section, and worked on the graduate and writing appointments page. I’ve moved the draft versions to the original pages.

I worked on setting up a new Cascade Site for Race, Indigeneity, & Migration (RIM). The lock-up and logo for this site are yet to be finalized so I will be uploading them to the site once they are ready.
