week twenty-seven...
OCTOBER 16th - FEBRUARY 16TH


     this week,  i :

emailed nineteen UT Psychology Lab professors about upgrading their website's UI

began migrating university websites from Drupal and WordPress to Pantheon with Dev Team

ran tests on Canvas' Tower Tools Dashboard application¹ using BrowserStack²

met with Stacy to discuss tasks prioritization regarding Texas 
Domestic Slave Trade Projects' From Slavery to Freedom website


     impediments :

when testing audio playback in Canvas' video stream, B-Stack³ :

omits volume control functionality for mobile browser testing and
defaults all of its cloud-linked devices to a standard listening volume

eliminates audio transmission altogether
for Samsung devices via its web browsers

after testing unsupported web browsers in B-Stack, :

UC Browser Turbo⁴ does not load the Dashboard application's
main course page; still troubleshooting

we're considering local device testing as a work-around

¹ Canvas' Dashboard Application is responsible for UT courses' online video stream and live communication.

² BrowserStack is a cloud-based testing platform that is compatible with multiple web browsers across a variety of devices.

³ B-Stack is a term coined by me as to serve as an abbreviation for BrowserStack. s/o to Gretch, I made fetch happen.

⁴ UC Browser Turbo is a web browser

Speedway Banner: FINAL! I can’t wait to see this hanging above Speeday by Gregory Gym in April. Creating this banner was a fun experience because Summer Marketing has never had a banner as a marketing asset, so I had some creative freedom in the overall design–although we did connect it back to the postcard/digital display imagery so the summer campaign appears cohesive.

11×17:

- - reduction in bottom disclaimer text
  - URL changed to white
  - courses offered changed/removed

Digital displays:

- - replaced the $500 sticker to match the Spring Postcard
  - right-aligned “TX Residents”
  - still need to decide whether to keep “TX Residents” in color (relative to their color scheme) or in burnt orange.

Animated Pre-Roll:

- - changed out courses

Minors PDF:

- - change/removed courses and their respective semsters offered

UTFC Banners: 10.1 Québec & 9.5 Port Villa

START: Feb 7, 2024 

COMPLETED BY: Feb 14th, 2024

DESCRIPTION: This week I was tasked with creating UTFC Banners for two different units. 
 
10.1 Québec 
Step 1. Images Cutout
For this section I started with these three images and used photoshop to erase the background.
  
From here I put the cutout images into Illustrator and used the image trace feature 
to create vectors of each of the images. 
  
Once I had image traced versions of these photos I created a layout that would compliment 
the banner text and center Tex & Tammy.
 
 
  
  
  

9.5 Port Villa
I repeated the same process for Port Villa to get this final result:
  
 
  
   

WHAT I LEARNED:
Through this process I learned a lot about being very attentive to detail. 
Going through multiple rounds of feedback and iteration for these banners, I was able to learn the expectations for these projects and how to apply them properly.

UTCF Banner 10.2 Montreal

Start: February 12, 2024

To be Completed by: February 29, 2024

Staff Guidance: Leilani, De’sha, & Yazz

Client: UTFC

Description: I was tasked to create a graphic asset for the UTCF project, a banner, using the approved images for this assignment. I had to follow the instructions for the cut-out and pasted them in the illustration file.

First, I had to download the images needed for the banners and cut-out the main subject and later arrange them in the illustration file containing the banners.

After receving feedback, I tried out new layouts and refined the banners.

Leading to the latest iterations:

The next iterations I created centered around the feedback I received which consisted on:

Lighten the shadows to avoid making the images look flat
Get more of the clock’s face & details
Define the outline if necessary

UTCF Banner 10.4 Montreal

Start: February 12, 2024

To be Completed by: February 29, 2024

Staff Guidance: Leilani, De’sha, & Yazz

Client: UTFC

I followed the same steps as the previous cutout and created the first iteration.

I received feedback that consisted on:

Adding thin lines to fill the image tracing outline where is not visible
Remove the bush attached to the middle building and push the building down
Switch the order so that the triangle building is in the middle

Following the last iterations I created the entire set, but the images for the banners updated and I created a new set of banners with the new images. I also tried out two different layouts.
