Week 13

Hello! this week I wrapped up on the Psych Lab Website. This is what the content looks like on the new template.

 

Home Page

Research, Publication, Current Projects

I combined the Research and Publications tab into subsections and gave Current Projects section in the Research page of the original website its own page.

The location page was renamed to Contact Information.

The new template also includes a footer and an updated logo for the department of psychology!

UTFC Logo Design 

Project: Connexions Francophones Logo
Notes: This week I’ve been focusing on finalizing the logo for approval. Although now after recent feedback, this project will come to a halt until further notice. Currently, I have altered the colors and tweaked a few paths in Adobe Illustrator.

 

 

UTFC Advertisements

Project: Connexions Francophones Ads
Notes: This project is also on pause as I will be focusing on other elements of this project. For now, I have another quick sketch of a possible advertisement.

 

 

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. It was a cool and fun moment to get a hands-on experience with the other side of this assignment! I could see the backdrops in real time and edit them to the correct display such as altering contrast and saturation inside Photoshop.

AI in Healthcare Course Graphics

Client /Prof: Department of Computer Science, Masters of Science in Artificial Intelligence
Completion Status: Started on April 5
Staff Guidance: Maddy
Complete by: May 1

Recently I was given a project to create course assets for the new AI in Healthcare online course, which will be available through edX. This course will teach the positives of using AI technology in healthcare to reduce human error and make doctors more successful and efficient in their work. For this course I’ve created the studio backdrop for lecture sections and the iPad overlay slide, and am currently working on the logo and intro animation sections.

Studio Backdrop:

iPad overlay (really just updated the text):

 

And looking at my logo drafts, here are some of my sketch pages:

And here is a version of the logo that we’ve settled on, so I’ll be improving it further today:

STA Presentation Lower Thirds

Project: Lower Thirds
Client: LAITS
Completion status: started/completed 4/12/23
Staff guidance: Maddy
STA team members: Adrian & Carrie
Description/plans: Maddy asked us to use Adrian’s AI template to create lower thirds for each of the STA/LAITS staff & their titles.

 

UTFC Image Sourcing/Rights

Project: UTFC Image Sourcing
Client: UTFC
Completion status: started 4/11/23
Staff guidance: Maddy & Valerie
STA team members: Adrian, Luisa, & Leilani
Description/plans: We were tasked with tracking down images for the French Textbook, some of which came from copyright-free sources, while others had more mysterious origins. We’re trying to keep our search at 5-10 minutes per photo since there is a lot of content that needs to be checked/updated. Thankfully most of the photos still had their original file name, and we were able to easily track them back to Unsplash or Pexels. The image search/sourcing will probably get harder once we go into nameless file territory…

In the meantime, we have a very detailed spreadsheet keeping track of any legal copyright info:

 2.1 Colors and Common Objects

 

STA Presenter Intros

STA PRESENTATION IS ALMOST HERE!!!!

Project: STA Presenter Intros
Client: LAITS
Completion status: revisiting
Staff guidance: Maddy
Description/plans: The STA PResenter Intros are finished but need an “up next” image.

• My initial idea was to have the “up next” on a scrap piece of paper to tie in with the theme. I added colored paper because at first, the plain white seemed too stark– but the text is also more legible on white. Maddy agreed that the white was more legible, but the color helps the hierarchy by putting the “up next” below the bio info.

 

 

edits:

• I turned down the opacity of the color overlay on the scrap paper. This was to make the text slightly more legible. I just decided to use the LAITS colors so it all tied together.

 

Week 12

Project: Psych Lab Website Migration

Project: Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab Website

Client/Prof: Department of Psychology

Started on: March 29, 2023

Completion status: In progress

Staff guidance: Stacy Vlasits, Marianne

Description/plans: Move the content from the current existing lab website to an updated theme.

In this project I will help move the content from the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab websites to a new theme that Marianne created.

This week I am continuing on the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab website my main task as of the moment is to move all the images on the current website to the new template. Take a look at all these images https://labs.la.utexas.edu/church-lang/lab-events/. My current workflow it to save all these images to my STA folder in the LAITS server first and then place each one of them in the new template.

 

 

 

STA Presenter Intros

Project: STA Presenter Intros
Client: LAITS
Completion status: started 3/20/23, finished 4/6/23
Staff guidance: Maddy
STA team members: Lorena, Carrie, & Luisa
description/plans: I made a template for other STAs to help out with creating the STA Presenter Intros. I then delegated the STA intros to Lorena, Carrie, and Luisa to start working on them.

 

ALL OF THE INTROS ARE DONE! It was very intimidating to be in charge of an assignment like this, especially with my more experienced co-workers looking to me for clear instructions. In the end, it felt very rewarding though:)

more stickers!!! (I like the hotdog lego man)
