I created this graphic for the first day of school (August 16). It's another vector-based, "from scratch" graphic. I used Adobe Illustrator to create it, and I was so excited to post it first thing the next morning. While I was/am pretty biased towards the graphic itself, the true measure of success where social media…

I received an update today from a Trinity alum through our Alumni Association Facebook page. It would have been so nice to just copy and paste, but there was so much information, that I felt it was only responsible to verify it all before publishing. Of course it all checked out, but it made me…

We (The Office of Advancement) sent out this video last Tuesday, and I've hesitated to post it for several reasons, but here it is! While I've received great feedback about it, it was such a struggle! I had a huge "back to the drawing board" moment with this video after spending so much time on…

The first issue of Trinity This Week (Trinity’s weekly e-newsletter) goes out tomorrow, the first day of school. I spent a little time today tweaking the template. I finally got rid of that HORRIBLE orange color of the hyperlinks (I’ve always hated that color; while I was at it, I changed it for the whole…

I ran into a pretty big issue yesterday afternoon that I've never encountered. I went to compress/export a project for DVD in Compressor, something that I could probably do with my eyes closed. It's a matter of a couple of clicks...maybe three. But I got this message: "Unable to submit to queue. Please restart your…

I was pretty excited to receive this today! I'm officially an Apple Certified Associate in iWork! www.apple.com/certification/verify From Apple's website, here are the benefits. The clock ticking down in the corner of the screen during the test, resulting in sweating and shaking, was all worth it! I scored 92.42%! Plus, my boss knew I was…
