COLA Commencement Video Assets

 

Between my UTFC assignments, Valerie assigned me a smaller task which is to create assets for the live streaming COLA graduation. I went ahead and worked on creating different variations of colors, backgrounds, 2022 commencement logos, and formal logos.  My favorite ones are the lower thirds with slight transparency but I prefer the logos on the full opacity images. I also enjoy the orange over the blue because it feels more vibrant and less unsaturated and dull. Currently, I am awaiting feedback on these.

 

This week has been really exciting for me since I spend most of my time working on my website project for professor Monfils. I added the contents to each page of the website. I will keep working on the website and hopefully will have it ready to be use.

Hello all,

I can’t believe I’m writing this post! It’s been almost 2 years since I started but it feels like I’ve worked here forever and yet it feels particularly strange to be leaving so soon.

 

When I first started, I was recovering from a semester where I had to quit my internship and drop all my classes due to a personal crisis. I was excited and surprised to receive an offer from LAITS after a Zoom interview w/ Suloni and Valerie from my parents’  poorly lit office.

 

Fast forward 2 years, and I feel like I’ve grown so much, in my hard skillset as well as confidence in myself and what I can bring to a team. I’ve had the chance to work on such a wide variety of projects alongside other wonderful STAs and full-timers and learned so much along the way. I’ve also figured out what I want to do with my life, and will be transitioning into the accessibility UX field soon.

 

Thank you to Suloni for being the best manager I could ever hope for, Valerie for constantly being a supportive & kind supervisor, and Maddy for the pączki recommendation (dziękuję bardzo! Napewno bedziemy przysłym tygodniu tam pojechać). Thank you also to the lovely STAs past & present, you all have genuinely been such fun, friendly people to work with and I hope we can all stay in touch.

 

As for my post-LAITS and post-graduation life, at the end of this month I will be starting at GBH (part of PBS and NPR)’s National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) — a lot of acronyms, I know – as an Accessibility Analyst for their consulting group. It’s a largely remote position, but I will be moving to Boston, their headquarters, in a couple weeks. I’m beyond excited for this next chapter of my life holds, but I’m also very sad that this means that this chapter is coming to a close. I can credit the STA program with so much of my professional and personal development over the past 2 years, and that means more than I can ever possibly put into words.

 

 

Lingco Banners

 

Here are all the banners I have made this week for UTFC. All of these have been approved or need final improvements. There are a handful left that are still in the drafting phases but hopefully it will be finished by next week.

 

 

 

This week, I learned a lot about “Design Elements and Principles” and used photoshop to make a color palette and color wheel.

For the rest of this week, I have been working on my first project which is working on a website for prof. Monfils. Here is my recent progress. I add more pages to the website.

I also updated the contact information for the website. 

Lingco Banners

 

This week I have set up all the workflow for the banners, pre-cut out the buildings for the banners for each lesson, and have started making the banners. All of these were approved by Yazz and are pending approval from PAT. I did 1.1-2.1 so far.
