McCombs Revisions

By

McCombs

We met with the McCombs team last week to go over design options and settled on some new ideas. We decided the wall monitor behind the prof should be a photo of McCombs, since its less jarring than a lot of text. The photo I chose is not 100% cohesive with the rest of the theme, but I am really waiting on McCombs’ feedback.

 

 

I created Powerpoint templates, Canvas graphics, and an opening animation idea for each video. This is my first project working directly with clients at LAITS so I’m learning a lot about how in-person client comm works.

Description / plans: make final edits to Physical Anthropology VLab content

To be completed: by the end of November

I’ve been working on VLab, in which we migrate the content of the Physical Anthropology online course from Adobe Flash file to a website using Grav, a (not-my-favorite :p) CMS.

Some things I’ve been fixing including minor grammatical errors, spacing, indenting, or inserting missing content. I’ve also been working on combining the terminologies onto 1 card instead of spanning them into multiple cards.

One major thing (and probably one of the more exciting parts of the project) is to recreate the graphs in Photoshop. Here’s a snapshot of what I’ve been working on (still in-progress).

V-Lab Map

INTERACTIVE MAP

The original map for this used semi-opacity and pattern to layer up on the map. Maddy suggested solid design and using some of the pastel colors from our style guide. The map is very simple looking compared to others I had put together. Below are images of the layers isolated and then all at once.

UPDATES ON CASCADE

I worked on removing a published folder on the ethics home page today. There was some difficulty in this by a miss-click which needed to be resolved but all is well more or less right now. Publishing of the site edits is still pending at the moment. Along with this, I created a very small two-step instructional page within our departments Cascade How-To page. Here it is:
