Current Sta
Okay, this was something I should have updated on here last week, but forgot. And I only worked 1 day since our last meeting, so…
Maddy asked me to replace the sky on this photo of Kigali.
I wondered how to do this for a bit, but it turns out photoshop has a “replace sky” tool. Turned out nice!
Here is Leilani in front of it:

UTFC Backdrop Edits
Project: Backdrop Edits
Notes: This week, I went back into the studio backdrops and re-edited a few of the images.
UTFC Studio Testing
Project: Backdrop Color Testing
Notes: Since UTFC plans on recording its lectures this summer, I had the opportunity to go inside the recording studio to test backdrops for the lecturer. I could see the backdrops in real time and edit them to the correct display such as altering contrast and saturation inside Photoshop. So far we’re almost done with the first course for recording. This time around Valerie and I went in to look over specific backdrops that needed some re-editing.
During my 6th week as STA I continued my web development project for the university’s Psychology Labs. Using the WordPress Multisite, I drafted a new template for the Developmental Behavior Genetics Lab. Afterwards, I reached out to the client for their approval. Below are some screenshots of my work.
Developmental Behavior Genetics ~ Original site
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab ~ Church-Lang Final Draft
Developmental Behavior Genetics ~ Harden Template Draft 01

I also completed the CSS Box Models chapter from Interneting is Hard.
During my 5th week as STA I continued my Web Dev Basic training using Interneting is Hard tutorials.
I also began working on a web development project. I am integrating Google Analytics into the university’s websites using VS Code.
UTFC Greenscreen Edits
Project: Reverse Greenscreen Image Sourcing
Notes: A handful of STAs were tasked with finding royalty-free images and uploading them into a PowerPoint. This assignment is similar to the green screen image search for vocabulary words except I’ve been using Google Images to reverse image search the pictures that have been used for previous assignments for proper attribution. In addition, I’ve been finding substitutional photos for the images that have no attribution or not from a royalty- free site.
UTFC Studio Testing
Project: Backdrop Color Testing
Notes: Since UTFC plans on recording its lectures this summer, I had the opportunity to go inside the recording studio to test backdrops for the lecturer. I could see the backdrops in real time and edit them to the correct display such as altering contrast and saturation inside Photoshop. So far we’re almost done with the first course for recording. This time around Valerie and I went in to look over all of the backdrops for course 2.
UTFC Backdrop Edits
Project: Backdrop Edits
Notes: Aside from doing studio backdrop testing for UTFC, I also have to heavily edit some of the backdrops. It’s a fun process but some of the backdrops require more labor such as removing people or advertisements like in this example in Abidjan here:
During my fourth week as an STA, I cataloged data from the WordPress Multisite into the LAITS Site Hosting List using Airtable. I also worked on a few more trainings. There are some screenshots of my work below.
