Beginning in January 2022, Alma began a complete redesign of LilMarauder.com with a focus on being completely responsive, lightweight, and easy to maintain.

The first step of the updates were a reinvisioned logo and branding. The existing fractured round logo was retained in part, the portion that remains is meant to look shell-like.

In order to increase her familiarity with creating branched learning activities in Articulate Storyline, Alma developed an activity modeled of the Choose Your Own Adventure books she enjoyed as a child. Starting off with familiar story allowed Alma to flesh out alternative storylines, increase the amount of user selected details that would impact the story experience.

Alma has used the skills she built through designing this activity in numerous future projects.

You can enjoy the Choose Your Own Adventure activity Alma developed here (the link will open in a new tab/window).

DaVinci Resolve 12 Color Grading

By • On • In Photos and Videos, Self-Teaching

Alma utilized online tutorials for DaVinci Resolve and taught herself the basics of color grading. The following video was underexposed and shot in the film dynamic range. Alma balanced the colors using the scopes within Resolve, and then added some selective saturation with the curve tools.

This grading allowed fine details of the tea-steeping process to become visible (see the rippling color on the top of the water).
