Style A & B Studio Graphics

Project: Intro Training Style A&B Course Graphics
Notes: STA director, Valerie Tran, asked me to brush up on this training again since it’s been a while since I’ve done course graphics. The main goal was to familiarize myself with the names of the assets and the style types! I took a silly approach and used a example class from the template and replaced the professor with a minion.

 

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 I went in to look over some specific backdrops of the 3 new backdrops and then two of some I found for another module.

TGDP Documentation

Besides some minor tweaks to banner 7, my main project this week has been documenting the TGDP process for future STAs. It may not be very visually flashy, but it’s been an intense process combing through a year of moderately disorganized files and memories to standardize everything.

The end result is a higher standard than my own process has used so far, but hopefully we can stick to it going forward. I also started working on a master template, though of course the layout varies so much that it’s more of an example of how different elements CAN be formatted.

Edit: I now have the whole template done 😮

French Textbook

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:

the ridiculous six

MAY 23rd  – 25th

 

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.
