This week I did a few different things. As the semester draws to a close and we’re moving into the winter break, I’ve been shifting gears. I’ve been working on powerpoint redesign for Olwell’s HIS315K. I also did a small graphics redesign request for ADV 332C and a few photo IDs.
I got started on the HTML training this week and it’s been fun! I already know HTML and CSS pretty well, but I’m looking forward to getting more familiar with JavaScript through this training. This week, I created the content for two of my tabs and started making accordions for my second tab!
This week I worked largely on the InDesign and HTML/CSS trainings. I also made a simple grid background for a Zoom-based history class.
Also, here is my HTML/CSS training site thus far! Let me know what you think, it’s been a labor of love so far. I’m mostly working just on adding text content to the various tabs now, and might incorporate other features / functionalities later.
This week, I started the HTML/CSS training (very excited about this but not a ton to add yet), continued the InDesign Part 2 training, and wrapped up the Canvasser training. I also completed a Zoom background for a US history class which you can see here!
I finally finished with part 1 of the CLIO Module Training! Since last time I worked on this, I’ve changed and added quite a few things to this module.
For instance, in the image below you will notice that I changed the color of the navar (the top part) from burnt orange to black. I also added a new activity! I called it Quiz 1 because I am planning on eventually adding a second quiz for people to match a movie’s title (in English) to what they think the correct Spanish translation is, so tune in for that later.
I also made quite a few changes within Activity 1 (The Basics). This is what it looks like now:
Finally, this is what Activity 2 (Quiz 1) looks like:
Hope you liked it!
Now it’s time to move on to CLIO Module Training Pt.2
I wanted to make a blog post, but I haven’t made one in a pretty long time, so I was going to make a blog post on both Clio and the Religiology Logo, but now I am just going to wait until I meet with Valerie and Maddy tomorrow to talk about the religiology logo.
Regarding this training, I am now wrapping up on the second part. The second part was much more focused on understanding the CSS involved in customizing your specific page. I used the CSS editor to create a picture-background, a picture-header, a Google Font, and a picture card header. I included some dark blue/green elements because I thought the old color scheme was a little boring.
Made on Photoshop using the green from the photo, filter gallery (which produced an effect that actually looks like a hard court!), and the photos. I think I am going to get rid of the pictures and try something else.
Declaring the colors that are referenced throughout the CSS sheet.
Creating the custom classes for picture card headers, also changing the font family referenced in each card.
Looked at the source code to understand how tables were set up, then adjusted the CSS code to enable a table with custom colors and the ability to show hovering. I used this table to explain “Bonus Shots” in tennis that are fun to employ.
