Final Appstore Homepage and final … Second Page!

By

So Close

I’ve got some pretty cool news. Today I attended my first UI meeting with Marla. I showed her & other administrators the website so far & answered some questions about the design. Chris and I are EXTREMELY close to finishing the second (and final!!!) part of the Appstore, we’re just waiting on Jac’s approval so that we can either roll it out to testing or make some changes.

 

But, here’s the final home page!

 

Here’s also the second page minus Chris’ edits:

More Updates!!

Worked on Immigration History UI! The Lesson Plan section of the page needed some redesigning.

Here was my first solution based off of Jac’s original design. I used the information currently populating the Overview of Major Laws page for this. I separated each section into its own box.

 

Later I found out that not all the Lesson Plans have the same structure or content, so it’d be hard to divide up into sections, so I created some designs that could keep everything in one box.

 

 

I’ve also been working on more Russian illustrations.

 

 

Illustration edit! Added a snow woman with a “skirt”

 

 

And the new RUS407 banner.

 

And planning!

 

Canvas Appstore Project Day ONE!

By

Beginning the Canvas Appstore Project

Project: Canvas Appstore
Completion status: Started October 19 2018
Staff guidance: Chris Pittman
STA team members: Jac
Description/plans: Download a server & start running some code! Also meet with Jac about UI design.
To be completed: Not really sure to be honest 

After my orientation I immediately jumped into my first project. It turns out that UT is trying to build an Appstore for different Canvas add-ons! It looks as if I’ll be using the design elements that Jac has created to code into CSS.

So, to begin, I met with Chris and got the lay of the land on Git. Later, I started to install MAMPS which is the server that I’ll be using for this project. I ran into some issues when confirming that I could run my files on this server, so I reached out to Chris and hopefully I can get that sorted out for Monday. I also met with Jac today and she gave me some great notes on how to code the CSS for this project so that’s super exciting!

I also took a tour of the LAITS Studio and took my photo for the STA poster!
