Working out the plan using Adobe Animate

Hello Scholars!

This week I met up with Larry (Marketing Director for AlturaCS); we caught up from where we had left off last week and I am glad to know that I brought up an important piece of information to Larry in regards to their website. While I had researched and familiarized myself with their webpage I noticed that one of the tabs under their solutions category had a dead link. This is critical to a business because they need to ensure that they are providing updated information to potential clients who may be interested in their services/solutions. The good thing is that the webpage will be updated and that will be a problem from the past. My job this week is to create an animated photo using Adobe Animate that will be used in the wheel infographic. I have attached a photo above to give you (engaged reader) a glimpse of the draft of the "wheel" (infographic). This animated photo will contain Altura's logo and different quotes that will transition from one another, similar to a slide show. I am planning on uploading the end result for next weeks blog post, so stay tuned!

Creating a Plan

Hello Scholars!

This week I have been working on creating a draft/blueprint and gathering ideas that will help in the creation of the visual "wheel" for the AlturaCS website. I have attached a photo just to give you guys a glimpse of what I am working on and I haven't finished the infographic just yet as I will continue to work on it throughout the rest of the week. Eventually the plan is to transfer all of the drafts and ideas to a final visual that will be created using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. For now I have been using a website called Canva to create these infographic. I've been really enjoying working on collecting all of the information and using different websites that help put my ideas more visually. As each week passes I will continue to share more of how my project is going. Good luck everyone!

Providing Healthcare Solutions through Technology

This week has been very eventful as it marks the first week of my Graphic Design Internship with a great solutions company; Altura CS (Communication Solutions). I've had a very productive week working with Larry Carlson who is the Marketing Director at Altura CS. We met on Monday to discuss all about what our goals will be throughout the 10-week internship and I also met Ruth via Skype (since she is located out of state), Ruth is the Social Media Manager for Altura CS. The purpose of this blog is to give a little bit of insight about what Altura CS does and how they play an important role in healthcare. Altura CS provides system solutions customized to fit the needs of many healthcare organizations and serve very important clients like CIO's from multiple medical centers. However Altura doesn't only focus in the healthcare industry they also serve industries like education, federal and government. Since this internship is 10 weeks long I will be focusing in the healthcare area. I believe this fits well with my background experience as I've worked for Optum RX and I am also a Licensed Insurance Agent for United Healthcare (these two companies are brands under UnitedHealth Group).

 Altura CS is a company that is partnered with Avaya and are designed to bring digital transformation to healthcare organizations whose patients are in high demand of communication via different channels like email, social media, web, IVR (Interactive Voice Response), and text. Through the help of Altura CS and Avaya many organizations are able to provide seamless, real-time/anywhere care through secure networks all while making it easily accessible and personalized for the patient. This helps organizations like clinics, urgent cares, hospitals reduce administration errors, lower wait times, and improve the quality of care. 

Officially an S-Stem Trainee!

I am very excited to have been selected to be part of the S-Stem Train Internship, today was our first meeting. During the meeting I got the opportunity to meet other individuals who are part of the team and we were able to introduce ourselves and get to learn a little bit about each other. I look forward to starting my internship and I look forward to what the future will bring. I am beyond grateful and hopeful for these open doors.
