LAITS Student Technology Assistants collaborate with the College of Liberal Arts faculty and administration by re-imagining their instructional and promotional projects with a creative use of video, audio, web and graphic design. STAs learn technical skills on the job with LAITS development studio staff. They build presentations, produce audio/visual works, scan text documents & perform image correction. STAs are instrumental in helping COLA faculty realize their vision for instructional technology projects used to enhance the teaching and learning experience.

I’m not familiar with Photoshop, so I’ trying to learn more. Today I went over funI created a color wheel by manipulating the original image’s opacity and rotation, and also adding a radial gradient over it. I’m not sure why the circle is outlined on the edges with the black squares, but I’m guessing it’s because it original image had something on its background.

 

Badge Update

Currently I am making some drafts on the different levels of the badges. I’m playing with adding more on to the badge to signify and upgrade in ability. I also got a new assignment to make a border with laurels to be put on each badge so there is cohesion between all badges, so I am working on that.
