French and Latin Web Banners

Project: French and Latin Web Banners

Client: Mike Heidenreich

Completion status: started October 16th, 2019

Staff guidance: Suloni Robertson, Valerie Tran

STA team member: Rodrigo Villareal

Description / plans: creating website banners for the online courses for French and Latin

To be completed: ASAP

Using these courses’ previous post cards, I’ve created the web banners for their websites.

Suloni, Valerie and I discussed extensively in choosing the images for the French banner. We wanted something that ‘speaks French’ (quoting Suloni), but it’s quite difficult to find a landscape orientation picture of the Eiffel tower. In the end we settled with the above.

For the Latin banner specifically, I really love all the characters illustrated by a past STA, Aidan Kessler (who is now a PM). All of the assets used in the Latin banner, which are not only beautiful but also very well layered (making it easy to parse them out and reuse them), are his.

 

German Trifold Edit

Project: German Trifold Edit

Client: German Program

Completion status: completed October 17th, 2019

STA guidance:  Jaclyn Alford

Description / plans: edit the current German Trifold

Last week I was assigned the task of editing the German Trifold. The trifold turned out looking like below.

This is the first time I’ve ever used InDesign, so it took me a while to get used to the ‘image placing’ functionality. I also had some difficulty choosing an image that fits the front, yet must not be blurry. But overall it was a fun project. Jaclyn helped me a ton on both InDesign and Photoshop (thank you Jaclyn 🙂 ), and I can’t wait to continue working on upcoming design projects with her.

SPRING 2020 CLASSES: FLYER AND SCREEN AD

The content for advertising spring 2020 classes was completed today. Jaclyn Alford made the final edits to the screen ad based off of my drafts and Myra’s suggestions. I went ahead and added a QR code to the flyer she put together as well.

I created two pages on the Knowledge Base that document the processes for some STA tasks. One page is for scanning documents like books and magazines, the other is for how to give a staff member the role of a course scheduler. The process involves writing detailed, step-by-step instructions and adding labeled pictures and screenshots. There was some Photoshop editing involved to blur out sensitive staff member information from the example screenshots. Overall, the process of writing and publishing was straightforward and I hope the guides are useful to other STAs.
