Thuy, De’sha, and I have been working on a CLIO course for the university’s diversity and inclusion training. I’ve been putting in the content for page 3, Legal Requirements, this week. I’ve put the CSS flip cards with each question, answer, and audio embed into a CSS flex box layout, so it’ll be responsive to smaller screens — like cell phones — and larger screens, like iMacs. 
I got started on a banner for the history department’s website last week! I took photos from the client, set them next to each other in Photoshop, then added a blue overlay. I used orange text with a drop shadow and rectangles to evenly “space” the photos out.
I worked on taking an image and converting it into a vector graphic using Illustrator. I really liked this tool and the results look amazing. Here’s some of the design process behind it:
This quick tutorial was a nice reminder of how to place objects (people in this case) into scenes. I find this really helpful since architecture renderings use this all the time. Here are some pics of the design process:
This is the largest project I’ve been involved in and I’m very excited for it. We will be creating an animation of two videos in which assets we created in Photoshop will be animated in After Effects. I was mostly involved in creating zoomed in frames for a laptop, a calendar and a whiteboard.
The first part of the project involved creating a storyboard:
Next, I created the individual assets so that they could move independently in the animation. So far, I’ve been able to create all the assets for the laptop frames:
I’m excited to see how this will look once it’s done!
This week, I did a few different things. I worked on the Classroom Database Restyling Guide which provided some basic html instyling bits that could be used as a template for styling and restyling pages on the database. The main challenge was creating as straightforward code snippets as possible that would also work well with the constrains of the database’s WYSIWYG editor. I also worked on several photo IDs.
This week I did a few different things. As the semester draws to a close and we’re moving into the winter break, I’ve been shifting gears. I’ve been working on powerpoint redesign for Olwell’s HIS315K. I also did a small graphics redesign request for ADV 332C and a few photo IDs.
The first version I made was based of Sheryl’s and Thuy’s designs that they have been making so far for McCombs. We are trying to keep unity between the courses but with variations in color and images. The second version is a remake of what the professor wanted just recolored to a reference photo that was sent in. I think both of these came out really well and would be fun for the course look either way. I’m excited to see what the professor ends up going with.
