Cascade – Spring 2022 Online Course Schedule

 

Last week, I worked on the editing the spring 2022 online course schedule site. I was just instructed to make it look identical to the fall 2021 online course schedule.

 

I used some HTML and basic copy and paste to get the site where it needed to be. The only problem was trying to get the banner uploaded with only 200 KBs. I had to convert the banner to a jpeg instead of a png to get it to upload correctly.

Week 10

Project: Blanton Website Migration
Client /Prof: Blanton Museum
completion status: started work on August 23 and still continuing
staff guidance: Ruben Garza
STA team members: Marianne, Angie, Abriella, Rahul
description/plans: Work on migrating the current Blanton museum website pages to the WordPress site

Since most of the pages were now done being converted, this past week I mainly worked on fixing the alt text for images in the media library to increase accessibility.

This is the old WordPress site I am searching on to find the images with the missing alt text to copy and paste them over

This is the new site with the alt text I am trying to fix

so any images that don’t have the alt text column filled in I have to search for on the old site and copy the text over

It is taking me a long time because there are 100 pages of images on the old site to look through

More LRC flyer

By

This last week (more LRC flyer)

I haven’t had a ton of shifts since I last posted, but I’ve mostly been working on the flyer design advertising the Visiting Scholars Program at the Linguistics Research Center and the photo ID KB.

The LRC provided the copy (words) for the flyer, and well, it’s a lot. Our current proposal is to make a packet, seeing as each page is the regular 8.5 x 11 inch paper (mostly digital).

Photo ID KB progress

The photo ID KB revisions are almost done! This last week, I added:

  • Photo submission guidelines
  • A few exceptions to photo submission rules
    • Faculty photos with medical masks
    • Naval Science cropping to show medals for 200×300 photos
  • What do to with photos that don’t meet guidelines, but might be good for the body of a faculty member’s profile page
  • A separate KB article for email templates regarding all things photo IDs

KB Web Dev Training Banners and More Training Assignments

KB Web Dev Training Banners, Summer 2022 Postcard

Last week I finished up the Branding/Iconography training in Adobe Illustrator. I have also been reworking the “research tools” graphic for PSY-Muna; however, progress has been on hold as we are seeking new copy-right images for the client. This week I will be developing KB Web Dev Training banners!

Per Maddy’s request, I also started drafting a design for the Summer 2022 postcard. The low-fi Hookem/Bevo returns to advertise summer classes! How many times will I return to this illustration that I made almost a year ago? We shall see.
