I’ve made quite a few changes since last posting on here (oops!)

Last Friday, I had a client meeting with Giuseppe (client), Lesser (designer) and Stacy. We mainly spent the time answering my questions, and it helped A LOT. I have a pretty clear understanding of where I should be headed with the site now, and I’m spending my time focused on fixing things one at a time.

Some notable updates:

• We’re taking out the map & switching it to a dropdown of regions instead. The map will just be shown for reference when the actual currency conversion occurs.
• Took out the second amount input field, so there’s only one place for the user to enter the amount of money they want converted. This simplifies the usability and the coding on my end.
• Lesser should be sending the UI design some time this week! So I’ll be starting on implementing that CSS soon as well

I also made my Bio graphic for new STA Orientation! I had a lot of fun with this assignment 🙂 It’s kind of wild, but I feel like it represents my personality quite well haha

Embedding Spreadsheets from Box

I recently processed a Cascade request in which the client would like to embed an excel spreadsheet onto their Cascade site. Tim provided some examples, and I wrote up the specific instructions. I drafted out a guide to be included in the COLA Help Guides. It’s published but not indexed, but once I get an okay then I’ll go ahead and include it in the sidebar.

Self-Photography Guide Images

Yesterday I took some photos to illustrate some points we made on the Self-Photography Guide. It was a little difficult to demonstrate the instruction to “face the source of light,” but I tried my best. Here’re how they turned out.

KB – How to Process a Cascade Banner Change Request

STAs are working on clearing out old and irrelevant posts on the KB, these are old tutorials we have on banner change:

https://sites.la.utexas.edu/kb/2019/07/30/update-the-homepage-banner/

https://sites.la.utexas.edu/kb/2013/09/19/cascade-banner-client-guide/

The links on the Cascade Banner Client Guide are broken and the homepage banner update tutorial doesn’t cover how to process the request before going into Cascade, so I drafted a new banner change tutorial that combines those two posts and shows the steps before going into Cascade.

 

This is the banner I made for the new banner change tutorial:

ADV319 Psychology of Advertising

Requested assets: Canvas graphics and slides template.

 

Maddy suggested that we should make a PPT master template for the slides to have the correct fonts and sizing all baked into the file for the professor, so I made the template following this tutorial: http://sites.la.utexas.edu/kb/2019/08/22/create-a-custom-powerpoint-template/

 

This is the course menu for ADV319:
