1
00:00:00,631 --> 00:00:05,021
So today is our career series about designing your job materials.

2
00:00:05,021 --> 00:00:10,651
So this is part of a series of workshops that we did in conjunction with Career Search,

3
00:00:10,651 --> 00:00:15,061
the Career Center, as well as the Office of University Writing.

4
00:00:15,061 --> 00:00:17,731
And they probably also have recordings available on their sites.

5
00:00:17,731 --> 00:00:22,561
We were the last one in the series to go because we thought that would make sense chronologically.

6
00:00:22,561 --> 00:00:29,491
So Career Services has some materials on their site, which I've linked to here as well on today's presentation.

7
00:00:29,491 --> 00:00:37,771
And then, Alex, if you wouldn't mind, maybe just copying and pasting the link or shopping or taking that into the chat, that would be great.

8
00:00:37,771 --> 00:00:42,931
And then that way, everybody's got the link to today's presentation. It's just the short Obbie leg.

9
00:00:42,931 --> 00:00:51,121
And then I see Adobe career, and that'll take him to this Sparke page for today.

10
00:00:51,121 --> 00:00:57,961
And so Career Services last week did a couple of workshops on preparing for the career fair,

11
00:00:57,961 --> 00:01:03,841
which is coming up there, several virtual career fairs that are gonna be happening starting next week.

12
00:01:03,841 --> 00:01:09,901
And so we designed a series of workshops for career services to begin and to talk about in general,

13
00:01:09,901 --> 00:01:15,571
what are some things you should do to help prepare yourself for a virtual career fair, which can also,

14
00:01:15,571 --> 00:01:22,531
of course, pored over to any kind of virtual interview that you're going to do or just branding

15
00:01:22,531 --> 00:01:27,751
yourself and getting your name out there and your materials out there and things like that.

16
00:01:27,751 --> 00:01:30,631
And so they did that last week.

17
00:01:30,631 --> 00:01:37,201
And they've also got the materials on their website and then offers even university writing, did a couple workshops on writing your job materials.

18
00:01:37,201 --> 00:01:47,331
So they are super good. If you are at the point where you need to maybe wordsmith your resumé or you want to make sure you're putting the,

19
00:01:47,331 --> 00:01:53,211
you know, sort of really good keywords in to things like LinkedIn,

20
00:01:53,211 --> 00:01:58,831
you know, and, you know, just maybe helping helping you with, you know, the title,

21
00:01:58,831 --> 00:02:05,371
the wording of things, rephrasing things on your resumé, you know, to make them, you know, sound good.

22
00:02:05,371 --> 00:02:08,821
Still, of course, being legit and honest about what you're doing.

23
00:02:08,821 --> 00:02:14,611
But, you know, sometimes you can just present yourself a little bit in a little bit better way with certain words.

24
00:02:14,611 --> 00:02:21,151
And so Office of Writing did that. Did that. And so today, were they asked us to do designing your job materials.

25
00:02:21,151 --> 00:02:29,551
So what are some multimedia tools that you can use to help you in your job search and also just in general to do presentations?

26
00:02:29,551 --> 00:02:35,151
You could use this for for those helpful things as well.

27
00:02:35,151 --> 00:02:42,401
And so the link to the presentation. We'll we'll put that in a chat.

28
00:02:42,401 --> 00:02:48,391
So Alex and Noel Field just want to tag team a little bit and start in, just keep putting the link into the chat.

29
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:55,261
That way, if people are able to join because this was a little bit longer workshop, if they're able to join sort of midway, then they'll see the link.

30
00:02:55,261 --> 00:03:00,091
If you see somebody join. Please go ahead and just post the link again, because they don't see that.

31
00:03:00,091 --> 00:03:04,051
They only see the chat after they join. They don't see you the previous job.

32
00:03:04,051 --> 00:03:10,121
But today's workshop was designed to help empower students to use Adobe Creative Cloud to design their job materials.

33
00:03:10,121 --> 00:03:15,601
So our main topics today include spark, especially for branding yourself, doing social media,

34
00:03:15,601 --> 00:03:23,221
post graphics, things like that, using Rush for LinkedIn and also maybe video for your portfolio.

35
00:03:23,221 --> 00:03:29,191
And then also there is an option for using Adobe portfolio for a Web presence.

36
00:03:29,191 --> 00:03:34,381
So, of course, a portfolio and the office university writing. We work with them.

37
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:38,311
They're aware that we're also teaching portfolio as an option.

38
00:03:38,311 --> 00:03:40,381
It can be a great option if it's more visual.

39
00:03:40,381 --> 00:03:47,041
So if you have a lot of photographs, artwork, things like that, then portfolio lends itself a little bit more to that.

40
00:03:47,041 --> 00:03:55,621
But you can also use it as a very quick online portfolio, because you can add tax, you can add pages to it.

41
00:03:55,621 --> 00:03:58,081
And what you can do is have like a splash page.

42
00:03:58,081 --> 00:04:04,681
So it can be like a very quick link that you give out to people or that you post a link to in your LinkedIn and Atlant.

43
00:04:04,681 --> 00:04:09,241
And it sends them to like maybe a very nice splash page with your information,

44
00:04:09,241 --> 00:04:20,491
sort of a little bit about you and then maybe video or maybe some photos of you in action, you know, doing your thing, whatever that is, and stuff.

45
00:04:20,491 --> 00:04:25,621
So these are things you can use together to help you and your career.

46
00:04:25,621 --> 00:04:31,801
So and then also today, we've got Steve Adler from Adobe with us as well.

47
00:04:31,801 --> 00:04:36,391
He's going to pop in sort of in the middle of the presentation today.

48
00:04:36,391 --> 00:04:45,181
He's going to review Rush for us. So I'll start us off a spark and then he'll do Rush and then I'll go back into a portfolio for Web presence.

49
00:04:45,181 --> 00:04:49,951
So if you have questions, feel free to just meet yourself and ask because we're a small group today.

50
00:04:49,951 --> 00:04:56,221
That's totally fine. You can also post and chat if that's easier. So whatever feels good to you.

51
00:04:56,221 --> 00:05:02,431
And so the University Career Center, this is a link to their Web site and their information.

52
00:05:02,431 --> 00:05:08,491
And so this is a good place to start if you haven't yet checked out their information.

53
00:05:08,491 --> 00:05:18,751
They did the first workshop in this series. So this is a good framework to start with, to get ideas of how do you prepare for the fair.

54
00:05:18,751 --> 00:05:22,221
So they talk about preparing your resume, a dressing for success,

55
00:05:22,221 --> 00:05:26,911
that kind of talk about the basics and then what we're trying to provide or what are some of

56
00:05:26,911 --> 00:05:33,901
the multimedia pieces that you can create that can augment and supplement these presentations.

57
00:05:33,901 --> 00:05:40,771
So how can you supplement your LinkedIn profile, your portfolio or your Web presence on images,

58
00:05:40,771 --> 00:05:47,831
graphics, infographics about yourself, you know, using spark to create those spazzing up your resume?

59
00:05:47,831 --> 00:05:54,991
You know, whatever it is. So this is a good place to start if you haven't yet thought about, you know, career and in general and that sort of thing.

60
00:05:54,991 --> 00:06:04,801
And they're super helpful. This practice, your elevator pitch is a great little document, too, that when we get into Rush and a little bit,

61
00:06:04,801 --> 00:06:10,081
you might want to consider this is sort of your script because they talk about when you're

62
00:06:10,081 --> 00:06:14,761
doing a presentation first for when you're going to going to do something like a career fair.

63
00:06:14,761 --> 00:06:17,401
You know, these people are kind of coming at you pretty fast. Right.

64
00:06:17,401 --> 00:06:26,311
And so you have to be able to very quickly get across what sometimes they call your 10, 60, your 10 things in 60 seconds or your elevator pitch.

65
00:06:26,311 --> 00:06:35,521
In this case, they've gone to a 30 second. And so a lot of some people or what they're doing is creating 30 second videos for LinkedIn,

66
00:06:35,521 --> 00:06:45,181
because some of the research is showing that basically there's so much to afford for people who are hiring for employers to go through on LinkedIn,

67
00:06:45,181 --> 00:06:52,891
that if you have a 30 second video on your LinkedIn profile, they're more apt to click that and watch it and then see if they want more,

68
00:06:52,891 --> 00:06:57,361
see if that would be a good fit than they are to just read your resume first.

69
00:06:57,361 --> 00:07:03,661
So if you have that as an addition into the other items on your LinkedIn, you know it can help you.

70
00:07:03,661 --> 00:07:08,431
And it also shows that, you know how to create this type of multimedia.

71
00:07:08,431 --> 00:07:16,111
And so that's just yet another skill that you can basically profile. Same thing if you're able to create some images, you know, maybe infographics,

72
00:07:16,111 --> 00:07:21,541
image to go on your profile, whatever it is, or for your Web page, that kind of thing.

73
00:07:21,541 --> 00:07:27,241
So these are great resources for for you to access as well.

74
00:07:27,241 --> 00:07:32,731
So we'll go back to but all these are here for you on this on this page.

75
00:07:32,731 --> 00:07:38,501
And so I won't go over the overview of Adobe Creative Cloud, but it's here and of course, if you want to share any of them.

76
00:07:38,501 --> 00:07:42,941
Cereals today. Feel free to forward to classmates, friends, colleagues.

77
00:07:42,941 --> 00:07:49,331
We're recording today's session and you'll get a follow up email tomorrow with a recorded a link to the recording.

78
00:07:49,331 --> 00:07:56,711
And we'll also post the recording on our library web page for the innovation and research comments, because we're we're renovating.

79
00:07:56,711 --> 00:08:01,111
We're moving from the Media and Digital Resource Lab into the innovation and research comments.

80
00:08:01,111 --> 00:08:06,221
No is actually there today. So you can kind of see the background a little bit. It's nice.

81
00:08:06,221 --> 00:08:10,631
Nice open space. Very bright new furniture. It's going to be great.

82
00:08:10,631 --> 00:08:18,551
There's a makerspace area and adobe create a space, sort of open collaboration work area, 3D printing available.

83
00:08:18,551 --> 00:08:23,501
You know, all kinds of neat stuff that is being developed this year.

84
00:08:23,501 --> 00:08:28,361
So, of course, as an Auburn student, you get access to the entire Adobe Creative Cloud.

85
00:08:28,361 --> 00:08:37,211
And if you don't have that yet, here's a link to go to it. You sign in with your enterprise I.D. Getting the direct download to the Adobe desktop app

86
00:08:37,211 --> 00:08:41,351
is very useful and you can manage all of your apps that you're using and things like that.

87
00:08:41,351 --> 00:08:46,841
There's also lots of mobile apps that you can use. And there's a nice sheet here.

88
00:08:46,841 --> 00:08:51,671
This kind of describes all the different applications and what they do if you're not really familiar with them.

89
00:08:51,671 --> 00:08:54,281
So that's a good place to start to.

90
00:08:54,281 --> 00:09:01,571
And then today we're going to be jumping into a spark, just kind of let you know what are sort of our run through is today, our sort of our outline.

91
00:09:01,571 --> 00:09:08,291
I'm going to jump in to spark and kind of demo that for a bit. There's a little intro video here for that.

92
00:09:08,291 --> 00:09:18,341
And then what we're going to do is Steve will jump in to Rush and show demo that and then we'll get into Adobe portfolio.

93
00:09:18,341 --> 00:09:21,811
And then we've also included lots of additional resources down here.

94
00:09:21,811 --> 00:09:26,731
So let's kind of our game plan for today. And again, if you have questions as we go through things, you know,

95
00:09:26,731 --> 00:09:31,961
just feel free to meet yourself or to post in the chat, whatever you feel comfortable with.

96
00:09:31,961 --> 00:09:37,811
So we will go ahead and get started with a spark. So the essence is of spark.

97
00:09:37,811 --> 00:09:41,591
And if you're if you would like to kind of follow along on your own computer, you're welcome to if you can't.

98
00:09:41,591 --> 00:09:45,341
I know it's kind of hard to do that with an online version of the workshop.

99
00:09:45,341 --> 00:09:49,991
So if you're more comfortable just watching and then catching up with it later, solely fine as well.

100
00:09:49,991 --> 00:09:53,111
But you log in with your Adobe I.D., So, of course,

101
00:09:53,111 --> 00:10:01,901
it's best to have your Adobe I.D. setup first and you log in with your Oben information and you always choose either company or school account,

102
00:10:01,901 --> 00:10:10,691
not personal account, because you want to be associate with enterprise. You get the full experience, all of the options that are available to you.

103
00:10:10,691 --> 00:10:16,421
And of course, we're going to authenticate here.

104
00:10:16,421 --> 00:10:27,431
And what a Debbie Spark essentially can allows you to do is it has basically three different styles of multimedia pieces that it can create.

105
00:10:27,431 --> 00:10:34,721
And I'm going to sort of bring this up a little bit here and bring this over so you guys can see a little bit more of my screen there.

106
00:10:34,721 --> 00:10:40,931
Perfect. So essentially a Debbie Spark, which Debbie Spark is free.

107
00:10:40,931 --> 00:10:46,431
However, if you sign in with your Adobe ideas, you get more features, which is really great.

108
00:10:46,431 --> 00:10:51,071
But essentially a Debbie spark lets you create basically three different styles.

109
00:10:51,071 --> 00:10:58,571
They've given you some templates here to choose from. What's so nice is that you can create graphics very easily and quickly with Adobe Spark.

110
00:10:58,571 --> 00:11:01,211
So imagine if you're trying to brand yourself right.

111
00:11:01,211 --> 00:11:08,501
You can create an Instagram story, Instagram post, Facebook post, you know, even a header for your Facebook page.

112
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:13,211
Interesting header for your LinkedIn page. Could be designed using this.

113
00:11:13,211 --> 00:11:17,291
You just get the sizes. It's probably the same as the Facebook cutter.

114
00:11:17,291 --> 00:11:25,991
And then you can design your own graphic, which is really neat. But essentially to create anything and spark you just start with the plus sign.

115
00:11:25,991 --> 00:11:30,701
And then once you start with the plus sign, you get several different options to choose from.

116
00:11:30,701 --> 00:11:35,291
Essentially, the different the different types are an Adobe Spark post or graphic,

117
00:11:35,291 --> 00:11:41,711
which would include sort of different social media sites that are sized already to what you need.

118
00:11:41,711 --> 00:11:48,401
There's also a Web page. It creates a very simple Web page that looks really, really nice.

119
00:11:48,401 --> 00:11:53,111
It's built with Adobe's design code, not not necessarily HDMI.

120
00:11:53,111 --> 00:11:56,171
So you can't really go in and manipulate it with a shemale.

121
00:11:56,171 --> 00:12:01,481
But that's also the beauty of it, is because it helps you create very simple Web page, which is nice.

122
00:12:01,481 --> 00:12:10,631
And then you can also create video with Adobe Spark. And this is these are also great tools to use because they also offer them for mobile devices.

123
00:12:10,631 --> 00:12:13,631
And so if you don't have access to more powerful computing,

124
00:12:13,631 --> 00:12:20,411
you can either go through the web interface here or you can go through mobile apps as well.

125
00:12:20,411 --> 00:12:27,701
And so to get in here, you could even create your video here. Rush, that Steve is going to show you is is more powerful.

126
00:12:27,701 --> 00:12:32,351
It is still simple to use, which is great. So it gives you a lot more options.

127
00:12:32,351 --> 00:12:34,631
But video here is another option as well.

128
00:12:34,631 --> 00:12:42,161
If you're just getting started or you want to sort of storyboard your video first and kind of like do a draft of it in sport video,

129
00:12:42,161 --> 00:12:49,721
that could be an idea as well. But you can create all kinds of of graphics here, which is so nice.

130
00:12:49,721 --> 00:12:53,201
And so we'll start with maybe an Instagram post,

131
00:12:53,201 --> 00:13:01,931
something like this would be good to create a graphic for like so say maybe you earned a certain certificate or you had a certain accomplishment.

132
00:13:01,931 --> 00:13:07,271
It might be nice to create a graphic around, you know, that type of accomplishment.

133
00:13:07,271 --> 00:13:11,351
So you can start from scratch if you want to by just adding things.

134
00:13:11,351 --> 00:13:18,101
Or you can search through the spark templates and scroll through them and pick one of those if you would like to.

135
00:13:18,101 --> 00:13:24,461
So if you met a certain goal or something like that, you can choose a template to create from.

136
00:13:24,461 --> 00:13:30,911
And this is a premium template that's it's only available if I have an adobe idea, which I do, which is very nice.

137
00:13:30,911 --> 00:13:36,351
So maybe I want to celebrate that I got a certain number of followers on LinkedIn or something like that.

138
00:13:36,351 --> 00:13:42,911
Then that's something that I could post, you know, both in Instagram or on LinkedIn or, you know,

139
00:13:42,911 --> 00:13:49,691
any kind of accomplishment, you know, that that would show you show people how you were advancing in your career.

140
00:13:49,691 --> 00:13:56,151
Maybe you want to contest. You know, you completed some sort of certification process.

141
00:13:56,151 --> 00:14:03,431
You know, you graduated. Anything like that. Just think about how you could create a, you know, interesting graphics to do that.

142
00:14:03,431 --> 00:14:10,331
And so since we started with this template, then in order to change anything about this template, we would just click it.

143
00:14:10,331 --> 00:14:17,681
And then we can also we can replace the image here. And notice, when we go to replace the image, we can even upload our own image.

144
00:14:17,681 --> 00:14:22,781
So if you have a certain look you're going with or you have like a headshot you've already taken.

145
00:14:22,781 --> 00:14:28,121
You can incorporate that, you know, as part of sort of your brand and branding yourself and that kind of thing.

146
00:14:28,121 --> 00:14:32,681
You can also find free photos and find like Creative Commons photos for you to use.

147
00:14:32,681 --> 00:14:37,481
And you can also search Adobe stock. So these are all great resources that you can access.

148
00:14:37,481 --> 00:14:43,601
We have access to Adobe Stockstill so you can access grue fantastic looking images.

149
00:14:43,601 --> 00:14:52,191
A lot of them are sort of social media ready or head or ready because they've already got space with a call copy space,

150
00:14:52,191 --> 00:14:54,161
you know in the in the graphic.

151
00:14:54,161 --> 00:15:01,541
So you simply choose a fantastic looking image and then place your text on top and you have a fantastic looking graphic.

152
00:15:01,541 --> 00:15:06,551
So there's all kinds of thing options here as far as making changes there.

153
00:15:06,551 --> 00:15:10,511
There goes. You can also make changes to the tax does you need to.

154
00:15:10,511 --> 00:15:15,281
So it's got a primary tech style. I can add a secondary tech style if we want to add.

155
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:20,551
It would change down here and we can choose all kinds of different fonts here if we want to.

156
00:15:20,551 --> 00:15:25,391
So all kinds of different options depending on what we sort of want to get across.

157
00:15:25,391 --> 00:15:28,961
You know, the feeling we want to get across and that kind of thing.

158
00:15:28,961 --> 00:15:37,361
And then also with the tax, we can also change the font sizing here, or we can do it with a cider.

159
00:15:37,361 --> 00:15:43,481
We can do letter spacing and fix that opacity. You know, we can change the order.

160
00:15:43,481 --> 00:15:50,231
So if we wanted that to be in the background of the image, not all kinds of neat choices we can do.

161
00:15:50,231 --> 00:15:54,581
And then over here, what's really nice about Sparke is it helps you sort of with your with your color palette.

162
00:15:54,581 --> 00:16:01,661
So notice how it's suggesting colors to me. So if I wanted to, I could choose a different color here.

163
00:16:01,661 --> 00:16:06,221
I can manually change it myself to find a certain hex code of a color I want

164
00:16:06,221 --> 00:16:13,421
I can pasted in there or I can pick from their suggested colors and so on.

165
00:16:13,421 --> 00:16:18,851
And then another great thing you can do with Spark poster or graphic that I like

166
00:16:18,851 --> 00:16:23,831
is that it has these icons already built in that you can that you can use.

167
00:16:23,831 --> 00:16:30,851
Yeah. So party or celebrate or something like that might be a good icon for this one.

168
00:16:30,851 --> 00:16:34,451
So some like cheers. You know, all these people are having fun.

169
00:16:34,451 --> 00:16:40,921
Wow. Look at all these people we have. And notice how it picked a color that was similar to my palette already.

170
00:16:40,921 --> 00:16:44,321
So that's handy. Or I can go change it myself. I can flip this.

171
00:16:44,321 --> 00:16:47,981
If it was facing the wrong way, then I have that opportunity to flip it.

172
00:16:47,981 --> 00:16:52,721
I can replace the icon. I can add more icons so you can see what these icons will be.

173
00:16:52,721 --> 00:16:59,321
Pretty easy to create something like an end for graphic about yourself showing maybe accomplishments.

174
00:16:59,321 --> 00:17:04,241
You know, you put certain percent behind it or whatever numbers go with that.

175
00:17:04,241 --> 00:17:13,091
Different kinds of icons to give people instantly the idea of kind of what you're about, what you do, you know, what the accomplishment was and so on.

176
00:17:13,091 --> 00:17:18,041
So scart post in order to save it, you would name it up here.

177
00:17:18,041 --> 00:17:24,091
So this would be, you know, maybe my celebration.

178
00:17:24,091 --> 00:17:31,921
Post or something like that. And now it's going to live in my projects. And so I can also go to and I can resize this, too.

179
00:17:31,921 --> 00:17:36,031
By the way, if I decide, hey, I love this as an Instagram post,

180
00:17:36,031 --> 00:17:40,921
but I really want to make it a story instead or I want to also make it a Facebook post.

181
00:17:40,921 --> 00:17:46,591
What's so nice is you can create one. Maybe the way you want it and then go back to your projects.

182
00:17:46,591 --> 00:17:51,991
So it saves your post. It saves as you go any way by clicking back on that project's button,

183
00:17:51,991 --> 00:17:57,481
takes you back to the sort of the home screen here and sort of forces it to sort of save the changes.

184
00:17:57,481 --> 00:18:03,441
So whenever you're done working in your post or your project for the day best, you just go back to that projects area.

185
00:18:03,441 --> 00:18:07,201
So you're kind of back on that home screen. And then from here, you can duplicate.

186
00:18:07,201 --> 00:18:15,211
So you can make a copy of this. And then you can go back into that resize option and change the size and keep the same graphic.

187
00:18:15,211 --> 00:18:18,231
And then just do some minor adjusting to make it fit that graphic.

188
00:18:18,231 --> 00:18:27,661
So you see how you can use something like Adobe SPARC to create maybe a whole series of social media posts, accomplishments, maybe continue branding.

189
00:18:27,661 --> 00:18:38,221
You also get this opportunity to actually brand all of your posts so we can create a logo if we want to and then upload it.

190
00:18:38,221 --> 00:18:45,481
So notice that you could even this is very meta. You can use Spark to create your logo, download it and then upload it.

191
00:18:45,481 --> 00:18:49,741
Here is your brand. So that would be an option that you could do.

192
00:18:49,741 --> 00:18:54,331
And then your logo would be here and presence on you, on your posts.

193
00:18:54,331 --> 00:19:02,401
So it kind of already be there. So maybe your logo includes, you know, a short Yooralla to your Web site always or something like that,

194
00:19:02,401 --> 00:19:07,561
because, you know, you always got to find ways, you know, things like Instagram rely on photos sharing.

195
00:19:07,561 --> 00:19:11,341
You know, people will say, oh, the links in the bio. That's great to do, too.

196
00:19:11,341 --> 00:19:17,041
But if there's a way you can get across links and ways to connect via the photo,

197
00:19:17,041 --> 00:19:21,091
because that's what people are looking at, then that can be an ideal way to do that.

198
00:19:21,091 --> 00:19:28,321
So that's another way you can sort of brand yourself, which is is another fantastic idea.

199
00:19:28,321 --> 00:19:37,831
You can also create the Spark Web page. So Spark Web pages can be a nice way for you to get across a presentation.

200
00:19:37,831 --> 00:19:43,471
And so if I were presenting at a virtual career fair or if I were doing a

201
00:19:43,471 --> 00:19:47,671
presentation on maybe like one project that I did and I wanted to really highlight,

202
00:19:47,671 --> 00:19:49,981
that was somebody who I was interviewing with.

203
00:19:49,981 --> 00:19:56,971
I could create a Spark page, which is a very simple Web page that looks really nice on whatever my project is.

204
00:19:56,971 --> 00:20:09,091
So we'll just do find free photos for now. So let's say that my project was on researching elephants so I could pick a nice elephant image here.

205
00:20:09,091 --> 00:20:13,921
Ideally, you can use your own photos to, you know, that way you're sure you've got the rights to it.

206
00:20:13,921 --> 00:20:19,981
And of course, we also have Adobe Spark as well. Adobe Stock as well.

207
00:20:19,981 --> 00:20:27,771
So I can give this a title and then subtitle if I want to.

208
00:20:27,771 --> 00:20:34,011
And then it says scroll to start writing a story. So it kind of walks me through how to do this anyway.

209
00:20:34,011 --> 00:20:39,111
But you can add photos to this text. I can add a hyperlink button and a video.

210
00:20:39,111 --> 00:20:46,491
So in order to put a video into Spark page, it has to be either a Spark video or Vimeo or YouTube.

211
00:20:46,491 --> 00:20:54,651
So it kind of has to live somewhere else first and then you can about it here. Photo grids, very nice for showing additional images and so on.

212
00:20:54,651 --> 00:20:58,671
Glad show as well. Sort of gives it a little bit of animation, a little bit.

213
00:20:58,671 --> 00:21:06,141
So think of it as kind of like a souped up PowerPoint. That's a lot easier to put together and is really sort of emphasizing design.

214
00:21:06,141 --> 00:21:08,271
And then you have this split layout, which is very nice,

215
00:21:08,271 --> 00:21:13,671
because you can have an image of your project on one side and some text descriptions on the other.

216
00:21:13,671 --> 00:21:19,341
So today's presentation is a spark page to kind of see how the video is embedded.

217
00:21:19,341 --> 00:21:25,041
This is a button. This is text that is hyperlinked. So tosses it together for you very nicely.

218
00:21:25,041 --> 00:21:31,161
One landing page, it sort of basically creates an unlisted link for you when you're ready to publish.

219
00:21:31,161 --> 00:21:39,181
So you were just going to share, publish and share link. And for the Spark post, you would just download as a download option that you can do.

220
00:21:39,181 --> 00:21:45,651
And so you would just publish and share link and it saves it sort of like a kind of like an unlisted Adobe link.

221
00:21:45,651 --> 00:21:54,081
And then what I do is I create short you are wells that are, you know, that match the Adobe Spark link.

222
00:21:54,081 --> 00:21:56,891
And then that way I can very quickly just give somebody the short orbit around.

223
00:21:56,891 --> 00:22:01,121
It takes them to this to the spark page so you can do that for yourself, too,

224
00:22:01,121 --> 00:22:05,571
and create different projects, you know, presentations and things like that.

225
00:22:05,571 --> 00:22:10,851
And this will be another very good way to use far to kind of help you show your skills.

226
00:22:10,851 --> 00:22:15,481
You can see how it did a little bit of animation as I scrolled. You know, it does that for you.

227
00:22:15,481 --> 00:22:22,431
That's basically automatic looking at images. You know, add the captioning you can link.

228
00:22:22,431 --> 00:22:32,151
In this case, I've linked to other Spart pages. So it doesn't give you you say the navigation like something like Wick's or we believe would.

229
00:22:32,151 --> 00:22:39,951
But because it doesn't, it's also super simple to put together as a great to do as like a one landing page.

230
00:22:39,951 --> 00:22:46,851
And then when somebody asks you about something, you just scroll. You don't have to go find like slide number twenty five out of 50 and so on.

231
00:22:46,851 --> 00:22:54,081
So and then Spark also essentially offers the Spark video.

232
00:22:54,081 --> 00:23:04,011
But since Steve's gonna show you guys our rush, I think that will be a better tool to kind of maybe basically jump into the spark videos.

233
00:23:04,011 --> 00:23:09,501
Really nice for if if you're working with somebody who's never done video before,

234
00:23:09,501 --> 00:23:15,561
ever and even Rush, you can do you can definitely pick that up quickly, too, which is great.

235
00:23:15,561 --> 00:23:18,921
But Spark is just maybe a little bit more simpler.

236
00:23:18,921 --> 00:23:26,841
One thing that's nice about the Spart video is that it just kind of walk you through storyboarding so it gives you that idea.

237
00:23:26,841 --> 00:23:30,201
But it's also a little limited, you know, in in some ways.

238
00:23:30,201 --> 00:23:38,261
So. But just know that's another option. Or if you you know, Rush doesn't take that much processing power.

239
00:23:38,261 --> 00:23:42,111
It's pretty it's pretty nice to use. Which is great.

240
00:23:42,111 --> 00:23:51,651
As opposed to some other video editors. But if you are really struggling with computing power, Rush does offer a mobile version as well.

241
00:23:51,651 --> 00:23:58,391
But Adobe Spart video would help you as well if you're really struggling kind of in that area.

242
00:23:58,391 --> 00:24:09,111
So. So those are the essences of spark. So I think what I will do now is I'm going to go ahead and stop sharing.

243
00:24:09,111 --> 00:24:15,441
And then I will need to go make Steve a co-host.

244
00:24:15,441 --> 00:24:26,961
So let me do that so that he can share his screen. And then I think Steve will be talking to us about Rush.

245
00:24:26,961 --> 00:24:32,751
Debbie Rush, which is really fun. Video editor, great role.

246
00:24:32,751 --> 00:24:39,221
Thank you very much, Josie. Hi, everybody. Steve Adler. And let's see area.

247
00:24:39,221 --> 00:24:44,891
I'm here. There you are. I'll probably shut that off when I started to.

248
00:24:44,891 --> 00:24:54,681
But I'm really excited to be able to share with you some thoughts I have about building the right career to

249
00:24:54,681 --> 00:25:02,811
set of tools to get what you want and be able to do and have some things I'd like to talk about explained.

250
00:25:02,811 --> 00:25:07,431
And then ultimately show you, of course, having to learn rush yourself.

251
00:25:07,431 --> 00:25:13,341
It's important to realize, you know, the video is what we all gravitate towards.

252
00:25:13,341 --> 00:25:19,161
There's all sorts of video. There's all sorts of styles of video.

253
00:25:19,161 --> 00:25:25,881
And in this particular case, where it's going to focus, I think, on the idea of the who am I?

254
00:25:25,881 --> 00:25:30,541
Video my. Inner voice with with actually, you know, my picture.

255
00:25:30,541 --> 00:25:37,181
Beats speaking in a way that is only a piece of the cake you're bringing to the party.

256
00:25:37,181 --> 00:25:42,791
So what you'll be doing here is I would like you to understand some very basic things.

257
00:25:42,791 --> 00:25:59,311
Less is more. Shorter is better. OK, so you should be able to effectively create a video that is going to make the viewer want to know more about you.

258
00:25:59,311 --> 00:26:03,781
But you're reiterating what it is you want them to know, what you want them to call you.

259
00:26:03,781 --> 00:26:10,231
You want to get to the next step, whether that be interview, interview, just a follow up, because remember,

260
00:26:10,231 --> 00:26:17,041
there are dozens, if not hundreds of people wanting to get to where you want to be for that particular thing.

261
00:26:17,041 --> 00:26:23,131
So while Rush can do all sorts of really cool stuff and we see examples of it every day,

262
00:26:23,131 --> 00:26:28,831
we're really in an interview style video or some people call it a video resume.

263
00:26:28,831 --> 00:26:32,621
Some people call it it comes a little different ways. Research is important.

264
00:26:32,621 --> 00:26:37,201
Now, I did some research just online. You know, Google is it is an amazing place.

265
00:26:37,201 --> 00:26:39,841
Found some interesting things. I'll share this.

266
00:26:39,841 --> 00:26:50,371
Give you an idea of the kind of environment you may want to create when you start to build your your video presentation.

267
00:26:50,371 --> 00:26:54,571
So let me just make sure I have some things lined up here.

268
00:26:54,571 --> 00:27:03,091
I don't know if I can. Drop stuff in the chat pot, as I can drop you URL's in the chat pod as a presenter.

269
00:27:03,091 --> 00:27:14,011
So, yeah, that's great. All right. So I'm going to stop sharing my live video so you can see some other things here.

270
00:27:14,011 --> 00:27:17,641
All right. So, you know, knowing your audience, that's important.

271
00:27:17,641 --> 00:27:22,861
And, you know, what type of feeling do you want to create? It's a professional feeling.

272
00:27:22,861 --> 00:27:27,331
It's really important. Now, I'm going to show you a couple of videos. They're very short.

273
00:27:27,331 --> 00:27:34,781
And I purposely not going to focus on the audio piece of this because. So now just good to see a video without too much audio.

274
00:27:34,781 --> 00:27:38,911
Then you can really get a feel for that component here.

275
00:27:38,911 --> 00:27:49,861
So you I'm sure you've had good conversations with your career services folks, with the importance of dress, the importance of looking good.

276
00:27:49,861 --> 00:27:54,901
But there's some technical aspects of this which have to do with lighting. We'll talk about that.

277
00:27:54,901 --> 00:27:59,851
Have to do with a good microphone presence, in other words.

278
00:27:59,851 --> 00:28:07,391
I'll show you some examples of what I mean. So let's see if this is going to work as expected.

279
00:28:07,391 --> 00:28:18,891
OK. Some things here I'll bring front.

280
00:28:18,891 --> 00:28:25,261
So here is a. I got to share my screen.

281
00:28:25,261 --> 00:28:33,541
One second. My fault.

282
00:28:33,541 --> 00:28:37,531
Now it says only one can share at a time. Oh, yeah.

283
00:28:37,531 --> 00:28:42,421
Here we go. I got it. Thank you. Quick time, player.

284
00:28:42,421 --> 00:28:50,491
I think that's the line one. All right, now I want to turn the audio down and I want you to take a look at this.

285
00:28:50,491 --> 00:28:55,981
This is a one minute one and a half minute video.

286
00:28:55,981 --> 00:29:00,061
The script is important. Have your script written and think of it this way.

287
00:29:00,061 --> 00:29:05,701
A hundred and twenty words per minute is a good way to think about how long your script will be.

288
00:29:05,701 --> 00:29:12,391
So one minute to minute thirty at the most. Now, just take a minute and look and watch this video.

289
00:29:12,391 --> 00:29:17,191
Turn the volume down a little bit and see exactly what she's.

290
00:29:17,191 --> 00:29:25,451
This woman is trying to present. You see, there's pretty much it's not just the headshot that will come later.

291
00:29:25,451 --> 00:29:33,221
Those are transitions. Bring the youth. Bring the user or the viewer into what it is you're speaking about.

292
00:29:33,221 --> 00:29:42,971
And notice the white space and hear the overlays. For example, she is actually reinforcing visually what she is saying.

293
00:29:42,971 --> 00:29:54,551
So this is again. She wants people to not only be seeing her, listening to her, but seeing what it is she's speaking about.

294
00:29:54,551 --> 00:29:58,661
So faves are good when you want to take a breather.

295
00:29:58,661 --> 00:30:08,591
A new take and notice how there's a slight change in the camera angle or the camera shot.

296
00:30:08,591 --> 00:30:15,641
Now, you don't need to necessarily have your face at all times speaking.

297
00:30:15,641 --> 00:30:23,481
You can cut away using what we call B roll or other other items there so that

298
00:30:23,481 --> 00:30:31,121
the user will focus on what it is you want to bring into your presentation.

299
00:30:31,121 --> 00:30:34,721
So this has only been 90 seconds, but less is more.

300
00:30:34,721 --> 00:30:40,691
You want them to see that you know how to do something. Communicate clearly as well as how it.

301
00:30:40,691 --> 00:30:45,291
Obviously a really good experience at Auburn that you're going to bring to your portfolio.

302
00:30:45,291 --> 00:30:51,591
That was her example of doing something. Let me show you another one here.

303
00:30:51,591 --> 00:31:04,321
Just put that away for a second. Now, here's one that slightly different approach.

304
00:31:04,321 --> 00:31:12,941
Oh, did it looks like they stopped sharing. Let me. Let me go back there for a minute because I close the window.

305
00:31:12,941 --> 00:31:18,271
Here we go. Now, here's one where it was a slightly different setting,

306
00:31:18,271 --> 00:31:25,031
but you notice what they have in common here is they have good lighting and lighting is easy there.

307
00:31:25,031 --> 00:31:30,041
We call it two point ninety three point lighting. You'll have resources on this and able to do this.

308
00:31:30,041 --> 00:31:39,431
But what you're not going to hear, essentially, is this gentlemens vidi audio.

309
00:31:39,431 --> 00:31:45,641
Sounds like he's in the kitchen. He's in a very hard surface room.

310
00:31:45,641 --> 00:31:50,141
He's not using a microphone that's well well positioned.

311
00:31:50,141 --> 00:32:00,161
So it's okay. But in my opinion, having that video foot, front and forward is important.

312
00:32:00,161 --> 00:32:05,981
Now, there tipped to do this within Russia itself or using your own camera, your own phone.

313
00:32:05,981 --> 00:32:10,031
But there's also ways to fix this after the fact in Russia.

314
00:32:10,031 --> 00:32:14,241
So you can bring up your soundtrack. You can't make that.

315
00:32:14,241 --> 00:32:22,901
You can't even clean it up and make it something that really is a professional delivery.

316
00:32:22,901 --> 00:32:27,011
But you'll notice in his particular video, it's a one minute video.

317
00:32:27,011 --> 00:32:34,061
He's telling his story. You're seeing he's that good hand gestures. You look at the camera and that's the hard part.

318
00:32:34,061 --> 00:32:40,271
Remember, when you're doing this, you don't you know, you don't have to worry about other people.

319
00:32:40,271 --> 00:32:47,351
You go with Romney, do it again. But those those are two good examples of a quick short video.

320
00:32:47,351 --> 00:32:50,801
Now, I have one more here to show where you can go.

321
00:32:50,801 --> 00:32:54,821
Kind of off the reservation for a little bit here.

322
00:32:54,821 --> 00:33:04,301
And I thought this was nice. This is done by a high schooler looking to get into her college, but she used a very creative approach.

323
00:33:04,301 --> 00:33:12,741
This may not be appropriate for all videos, but the nice thing is you can make these things and they can be a lot of fun.

324
00:33:12,741 --> 00:33:20,751
Now, going to see them through this kind of quick. And now she's talking about, oh, it's not outsmarting the essence.

325
00:33:20,751 --> 00:33:22,781
Steve was saying the previous video,

326
00:33:22,781 --> 00:33:31,671
instead of the third video you might have to be sharing and I should have made maybe end share and then we share many.

327
00:33:31,671 --> 00:33:38,151
I'm sorry. Chelsea, my sharen, you are is just showing the second video with the guy.

328
00:33:38,151 --> 00:33:44,451
Oh, really? All right. You might have this unshared and then we share after you bring up the third video.

329
00:33:44,451 --> 00:33:47,741
Oh, I see. Okay. I see. I it's working. Thank you very much, chef. Yeah.

330
00:33:47,741 --> 00:33:52,701
It seems a little funny that way. All right. So here's the one perfect where she starts out.

331
00:33:52,701 --> 00:34:02,481
I'm just going to zoom through. She's talking about the importance of this is Alex and this is her job interview.

332
00:34:02,481 --> 00:34:08,751
This is a little job interview. She's having an interview with herself in this case, makeup.

333
00:34:08,751 --> 00:34:13,341
This is these are short cuts. Right. You have which the thing is, she has a script.

334
00:34:13,341 --> 00:34:24,831
Everybody has a script. Everybody knows where to begin. Now, what she'll do is she's talking about herself.

335
00:34:24,831 --> 00:34:32,721
She has a way to kind of distinguish herself differently from perhaps her peers.

336
00:34:32,721 --> 00:34:37,051
She's a little bit creative. She's using an overlay here for leadership.

337
00:34:37,051 --> 00:34:45,441
And so it's you can have these kinds of different approaches to doing things, demonstrating what you could do on the side.

338
00:34:45,441 --> 00:34:50,571
But it may not be appropriate for that job interview. But again, these are examples.

339
00:34:50,571 --> 00:35:01,071
And I'll stop sharing for a second here. These are examples of the kinds of things you want to consider as you start to put this together.

340
00:35:01,071 --> 00:35:09,801
So in, I guess, an order of importance, you need to have a script.

341
00:35:09,801 --> 00:35:16,671
You've worked this, Orvie, of hash this out with your advisers and you want to have that down.

342
00:35:16,671 --> 00:35:23,961
That could be your elevator pitch. You could have a slightly amplified version that will go between 60 and 90 seconds.

343
00:35:23,961 --> 00:35:29,151
You want to think about the shot list? You want to kind of storyboard this out.

344
00:35:29,151 --> 00:35:36,771
You want to have slightly changing the changing field of view that engages the user.

345
00:35:36,771 --> 00:35:44,661
Make sure someone else in your in your circle of friends and family looks at this

346
00:35:44,661 --> 00:35:48,351
and gives you their feeling about what they're seeing or what they're hearing.

347
00:35:48,351 --> 00:35:55,431
So we think about as camera angles, music, probably not a good thing to have in this particular environment.

348
00:35:55,431 --> 00:36:03,221
However, what is good to do is place a 60 to 90 second audio clip.

349
00:36:03,221 --> 00:36:07,261
Nothing nothing is going to drive you crazy.

350
00:36:07,261 --> 00:36:12,081
And I'll put a link in here for you to.

351
00:36:12,081 --> 00:36:22,101
To see here at sea. I'll get that I'll get that momentarily.

352
00:36:22,101 --> 00:36:28,761
But you can grab a 60 or 90 second piece of music and start speaking to it in the background.

353
00:36:28,761 --> 00:36:32,331
Give you a real good idea of how much you can you can move forward.

354
00:36:32,331 --> 00:36:40,191
Then as you start to think about the how you want to illustrate what it is you're saying.

355
00:36:40,191 --> 00:36:46,221
You can use that idea of putting a type title overlay. You could use a cutaway.

356
00:36:46,221 --> 00:36:48,021
You could use another method.

357
00:36:48,021 --> 00:36:57,601
But the idea is to make this just something that is going to compliment the rest of what you're bringing to the to the job.

358
00:36:57,601 --> 00:37:03,041
So here is a. And I'll put this in the chat pod.

359
00:37:03,041 --> 00:37:08,941
This is a webcam and lighting tips.

360
00:37:08,941 --> 00:37:17,651
By one of my colleagues who was a great photographer. I'm going to put that in there.

361
00:37:17,651 --> 00:37:30,011
Let's see. Make sure have that. And there.

362
00:37:30,011 --> 00:37:32,701
And this could be for both Steve and Chelsea.

363
00:37:32,701 --> 00:37:37,561
But I was wondering, like for this for this video for Rush, is it possible to do, like, closed captioning?

364
00:37:37,561 --> 00:37:45,121
And then in addition to that, with other things that we've talked about? What about like it's like text that is accessible?

365
00:37:45,121 --> 00:37:50,191
Does any accessibility tips that you have for working with these these programs?

366
00:37:50,191 --> 00:37:56,061
Oh, that's good. Yeah, you can do closed captioning in premier pro.

367
00:37:56,061 --> 00:38:03,021
So what the nice thing you'll see about Rush is that you can begin your project in Rush.

368
00:38:03,021 --> 00:38:11,091
And ultimately it is being pushed to the cloud and you can open it up a premier pro if you want to make it more accessible.

369
00:38:11,091 --> 00:38:17,261
Nothing. All the work you've done will ultimately be available right when you're premier pro and take you further.

370
00:38:17,261 --> 00:38:23,791
But Rush does not provide accessibility at this point.

371
00:38:23,791 --> 00:38:28,951
OK. I was you.

372
00:38:28,951 --> 00:38:34,781
I saw the right there is a little story about lightning.

373
00:38:34,781 --> 00:38:45,841
Now I'm going to open up Adobe Rush and actually provide you the link to you so that you can see where it is right here,

374
00:38:45,841 --> 00:38:50,351
so that you can learn to work with rush yourself.

375
00:38:50,351 --> 00:39:00,941
It's very explicit, self-explanatory and how that happens. Let me just put this in the chat pod here.

376
00:39:00,941 --> 00:39:15,481
There it is. So with respect to your question earlier, A.J., about accessibility, you could build an accessible version of your of your video.

377
00:39:15,481 --> 00:39:24,511
If that is where you're driving, you want to compress that perspective on your your chosen profession or chosen schools.

378
00:39:24,511 --> 00:39:31,681
Now, the one I popped in here is actually the basis for understanding Rush.

379
00:39:31,681 --> 00:39:41,231
So let me just share my screen properly.

380
00:39:41,231 --> 00:39:47,181
And I think they should do it. Let's see. Are you seeing the premiere rush?

381
00:39:47,181 --> 00:39:56,241
Title. OK, great. So this is what was in that link, and what I've done here is put together a.

382
00:39:56,241 --> 00:40:02,391
Let me just present it in. Present mode here.

383
00:40:02,391 --> 00:40:07,221
What I've done here is included the essence of storytelling.

384
00:40:07,221 --> 00:40:09,921
This this can be used for any video project.

385
00:40:09,921 --> 00:40:18,231
But you want to get an idea about the secrets of telling a good story, storyboarding basics, storyboarding templates.

386
00:40:18,231 --> 00:40:26,901
If you want to get into a deep curriculum, if you're if you're part of the education program, it's great to work here.

387
00:40:26,901 --> 00:40:31,761
But ultimately, developing the story is important.

388
00:40:31,761 --> 00:40:38,331
Is some things to get you excited when you have the time about what young film writers are doing.

389
00:40:38,331 --> 00:40:43,191
Filmmakers. But this is something we keep updating.

390
00:40:43,191 --> 00:40:48,801
As new things come out with Russia, with the whole concept of video on demand.

391
00:40:48,801 --> 00:40:55,371
So you heard about Spark posting and Spark Page Spark.

392
00:40:55,371 --> 00:41:04,701
Does other things. If you find it important, you can design your logos with Spark posters, takes you right to a great spark post tutorial.

393
00:41:04,701 --> 00:41:10,011
You could use Spark Post to create very, very good looking infographics.

394
00:41:10,011 --> 00:41:17,601
If that's what you need to present, if you want to create a certain type of chart, you have that within spark post itself.

395
00:41:17,601 --> 00:41:25,191
A timeline can be created. And what's nice about these they can be saved is what we call P and G files.

396
00:41:25,191 --> 00:41:35,271
And PMG files have transparency and transparency is a great way to create an overlay effect within within Russia itself.

397
00:41:35,271 --> 00:41:40,851
But getting down into the actual rush itself.

398
00:41:40,851 --> 00:41:47,961
These have been designed from start to finish to help you get the most out of your tools.

399
00:41:47,961 --> 00:41:55,531
Now I'm going to share a particular. Screen here and this.

400
00:41:55,531 --> 00:42:05,371
This should work. Let's see here. You should be seeing my iPhone there.

401
00:42:05,371 --> 00:42:08,771
You're seeing my video projects. Yeah. All right.

402
00:42:08,771 --> 00:42:13,371
So this is my. This is my phone. And I am running Rush on the phone.

403
00:42:13,371 --> 00:42:18,731
Now, why would I want to do Rush on the phone? Because the best camera is the one that's in your pocket.

404
00:42:18,731 --> 00:42:25,421
And if you've got a camera with a clean lens, it's always important to clean your lens.

405
00:42:25,421 --> 00:42:34,301
You can get some really amazing professional stills and videos coming right from your phone,

406
00:42:34,301 --> 00:42:39,011
which ultimately become part of the Spark project and that Spark project.

407
00:42:39,011 --> 00:42:48,521
If you don't know, this already uploads to your creative cloud account and it allows you to access Rush right on your desktop.

408
00:42:48,521 --> 00:42:59,541
So here's my desktop right here. And here is Rush running on my phone.

409
00:42:59,541 --> 00:43:06,291
So one thing I can do here is I can create a new. I have some ideas in my head.

410
00:43:06,291 --> 00:43:18,621
I'd like to take a photo or a video, but what I'm going to do here is look at some of the professional camera settings that you can set up.

411
00:43:18,621 --> 00:43:23,271
And that's what the gentleman in the resource shows you how to do.

412
00:43:23,271 --> 00:43:29,511
Make sure you get the best resolution, the highest quality you can.

413
00:43:29,511 --> 00:43:34,041
He gives you ideas on how to work with. The promo.

414
00:43:34,041 --> 00:43:41,271
So I have that the bottom bottom left there. This is automatic mode and this is pro mode.

415
00:43:41,271 --> 00:43:48,891
Pro mode allows you to do a much better result or get a much better result.

416
00:43:48,891 --> 00:43:56,191
Now, if you need to do this in landscape, landscape is the preferred way to do a video.

417
00:43:56,191 --> 00:44:05,601
A square perspective is fine for social media, but for what you're doing when it comes to this particular challenge,

418
00:44:05,601 --> 00:44:09,651
which is to get a really good version of you, you in a box, essentially.

419
00:44:09,651 --> 00:44:14,391
Right. If you want to go with a horizontal mode, here are horizontal view.

420
00:44:14,391 --> 00:44:20,781
So those directions are explained very nicely in that one link I've got.

421
00:44:20,781 --> 00:44:30,081
Now, if you wanted to here, you could also use this to create to take a photo instead of a video.

422
00:44:30,081 --> 00:44:36,501
And if you wanted to, you could in addition, you could bring in media.

423
00:44:36,501 --> 00:44:39,901
That's already on your phone. This will click in.

424
00:44:39,901 --> 00:44:50,991
It'll go to your camera roll. Allow you to bring things in, but you can always bring in your your content at any given time.

425
00:44:50,991 --> 00:44:56,241
On any device. And that's the beauty of working with Rush.

426
00:44:56,241 --> 00:45:08,661
So that's important to understand that you want to start capturing your content at the highest definition you can.

427
00:45:08,661 --> 00:45:13,551
If you have most of you have smartphones, they've got great cameras now.

428
00:45:13,551 --> 00:45:19,851
You don't need to go out and use and use another camera. However you could. That's certainly OK.

429
00:45:19,851 --> 00:45:27,381
So if I go back to the. Section here.

430
00:45:27,381 --> 00:45:34,431
This particular one will explain how to get the best caught camera settings and Rush setting up your timeline.

431
00:45:34,431 --> 00:45:40,371
This particular video will explain the importance of the time. And you see it example in a minute.

432
00:45:40,371 --> 00:45:50,571
This one here uses a really quick metaphor, how to add clips to an existing project and to create useful video overlays.

433
00:45:50,571 --> 00:45:56,031
Now, these may not be appropriate for what it is you want to build for your career.

434
00:45:56,031 --> 00:46:01,011
Branding. However, this is great to become better at video of storytelling,

435
00:46:01,011 --> 00:46:09,331
which is really you could use this any in any other assignment for extremely useful outcomes.

436
00:46:09,331 --> 00:46:22,941
Your resources are here for you. These social media notables are talking about how they use it for their particular use and social media publications.

437
00:46:22,941 --> 00:46:31,411
This one explains that using the use of title templates to really amplify what it is that's on that screen.

438
00:46:31,411 --> 00:46:33,841
How do you make your titles on Brand?

439
00:46:33,841 --> 00:46:43,531
And this is great because as Chelsea was saying, you've got your brand, you want to have your titles match your brand.

440
00:46:43,531 --> 00:46:48,391
You want to come up with some sort of continuity.

441
00:46:48,391 --> 00:46:54,691
This particular thing right here talks about the value of using color presets.

442
00:46:54,691 --> 00:47:00,451
If you were to, for example, take pictures on your different sky conditions, different lighting,

443
00:47:00,451 --> 00:47:07,111
and you want to make everything look as though it was taken with the same lighting like they do in Hollywood.

444
00:47:07,111 --> 00:47:13,471
Russia has presets for you, too. Always going into more in-depth tutorials.

445
00:47:13,471 --> 00:47:23,181
Adobe has a great set of. Videos here help you explore these things, watching them, creating them.

446
00:47:23,181 --> 00:47:31,931
This is all fine for you to go when you want to go further and if you want to get into a premier pro, there's links right here.

447
00:47:31,931 --> 00:47:38,631
What I did want to show you is a little bit of the rush interface.

448
00:47:38,631 --> 00:47:46,581
So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to run essentially a what we call the tour.

449
00:47:46,581 --> 00:47:52,161
Now, the tour can be started right here under your help menu.

450
00:47:52,161 --> 00:47:59,481
And this is a tour which lets you quickly understand how to work with the Rush interface.

451
00:47:59,481 --> 00:48:06,401
So we're going to call this the end of the vacation escape.

452
00:48:06,401 --> 00:48:15,881
This is content, it's already brynne been brought into the application itself.

453
00:48:15,881 --> 00:48:20,141
It will say select some media. Now, the media should. It doesn't have to be.

454
00:48:20,141 --> 00:48:27,221
But think of the media as being what it is you want to put in with your particular storyboard.

455
00:48:27,221 --> 00:48:34,211
So I'll collect a select this one. I'll select this one and select that one.

456
00:48:34,211 --> 00:48:41,711
And now I add them in the sequence. I've selected them and now they are sitting down here on my timeline.

457
00:48:41,711 --> 00:48:50,511
This is all being presented and it's in place. Now, if I hit the play button right here.

458
00:48:50,511 --> 00:48:58,401
All right. I'm just going to zip through. You can see I could look through all this here.

459
00:48:58,401 --> 00:49:02,331
I can shorten this now that they're showing you interactively,

460
00:49:02,331 --> 00:49:09,831
take the scissors and you can split a clip splitting and clip is just making it easier to use elsewhere.

461
00:49:09,831 --> 00:49:16,611
You can rearrange the clips. You can take this particular spot here and put it in new location.

462
00:49:16,611 --> 00:49:23,571
So if you think about the samples you saw where the one job candidate was in

463
00:49:23,571 --> 00:49:27,981
front of the camera and she kept changing from close to a little bit closer,

464
00:49:27,981 --> 00:49:39,211
a little bit further, that was done by using clips. And these clips can be different recordings that were done or they could be.

465
00:49:39,211 --> 00:49:47,851
Narration that was edited and the clips edited above that, but that's something you'll have the time to try out as you work through this.

466
00:49:47,851 --> 00:49:57,091
So trimming the clip, making it longer, shorter, we just select on it, we click it and we can expand it.

467
00:49:57,091 --> 00:50:03,151
I can grab that there, I can shrink that. Is it a handles? I can grab this right here.

468
00:50:03,151 --> 00:50:08,731
Take that. Shorten it. It's all nondestructive. So you cannot break this.

469
00:50:08,731 --> 00:50:15,601
Now, there are other tools over here. For example, color.

470
00:50:15,601 --> 00:50:24,171
If you want to work with color, you can. Try some other things right here in the areas of our time.

471
00:50:24,171 --> 00:50:28,311
Transitions are important. Now, think about this.

472
00:50:28,311 --> 00:50:37,401
Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. Transitions are best if they are what we call jump cuts.

473
00:50:37,401 --> 00:50:45,141
So if I want to do a transition is many times, especially in a video in which you're talking about yourself.

474
00:50:45,141 --> 00:50:50,721
You don't need to have some fancy Weiping or anything like that or or fading.

475
00:50:50,721 --> 00:51:04,911
So you'll see a jump cut is no transition at all. If you wish, you may want to consider adding a a a slight transition just to fade across feet.

476
00:51:04,911 --> 00:51:17,721
Now, my titles are another thing. Titles are great because as you saw earlier, these titles can amplify and supplement what it is you're saying.

477
00:51:17,721 --> 00:51:22,761
Now, there are basic titles. There are presets here.

478
00:51:22,761 --> 00:51:30,401
You could take this. And when you're working with these and you dropped them on your timeline.

479
00:51:30,401 --> 00:51:37,211
It's actually going to create and I'm just going to skip the tour for a minute right here.

480
00:51:37,211 --> 00:51:48,351
It's going to create essentially a set of tracks. So I have the ability to place additional content.

481
00:51:48,351 --> 00:51:55,071
They will simultaneously play on over what's at the lowest at the base level.

482
00:51:55,071 --> 00:52:01,561
I can add additional audio here. So if I want to take this title, for example.

483
00:52:01,561 --> 00:52:06,721
And think about placing it double click on it here.

484
00:52:06,721 --> 00:52:12,721
I could take that, click on it and move it into a new position.

485
00:52:12,721 --> 00:52:19,361
I can reordered at this, turn it off. I can create basic titles.

486
00:52:19,361 --> 00:52:24,631
Blank titles. I can play with colors. I can play with line spacing.

487
00:52:24,631 --> 00:52:32,221
If I want to add a subtitle here, I can add subtitles as I lay these particular overlays.

488
00:52:32,221 --> 00:52:38,351
You'll see. They can appear.

489
00:52:38,351 --> 00:52:48,821
When I want them to be and where I want them to be now, titles can be worked, can be utilized with transitions as well.

490
00:52:48,821 --> 00:52:56,651
So if I want to try a fade in fade out for my title, I should go over to the area here.

491
00:52:56,651 --> 00:53:04,111
More titles. I can pick his style. I can pick a transition and I can get that done.

492
00:53:04,111 --> 00:53:11,581
So this particular environment is called a timeline and it closes out for a second.

493
00:53:11,581 --> 00:53:17,731
This is a timeline. The tracks or what we see as we start to build this up.

494
00:53:17,731 --> 00:53:25,141
Now, with respect to audio, you can always add the audio track at any given time in Rush.

495
00:53:25,141 --> 00:53:29,731
And this can be done on your phone or this can be done on on your desktop.

496
00:53:29,731 --> 00:53:42,021
Or you could just record your your narration, your pitch on any and any modern device and imported into the project.

497
00:53:42,021 --> 00:53:46,341
If you want to import media into that project, I can bring more from here.

498
00:53:46,341 --> 00:53:51,141
This could be coming from external sources. But you notice right here.

499
00:53:51,141 --> 00:54:03,781
Maybe I want to do a voiceover right now. So I click on a voiceover and you'll see that it automatically sets up a track for me to record in.

500
00:54:03,781 --> 00:54:15,841
And if I don't like it, I can always do it again. Now, if I wish to have to start my narration here, I'll click on at.

501
00:54:15,841 --> 00:54:22,571
Now, as I speak, you know, what I forgot to do is actually mute these other track.

502
00:54:22,571 --> 00:54:32,621
I commute that track above and you'll see it just capture what I wrote for what I said when I forgot to do, she knew the other track.

503
00:54:32,621 --> 00:54:42,821
Now I listen to my audio. My audio doesn't sound that present because I didn't set my my audio levels and things of that nature.

504
00:54:42,821 --> 00:54:49,651
You could always come back and utilize other tools to enhance that particular audio.

505
00:54:49,651 --> 00:54:55,601
For example, over here, hovering over this allows me to adjust that clip.

506
00:54:55,601 --> 00:55:00,791
Now, I can I can say this is a voice.

507
00:55:00,791 --> 00:55:08,971
I can balance that sound. I can reduce the echo and I can enhance the speech.

508
00:55:08,971 --> 00:55:21,191
All right, so I'll enhance the speech. And let's see if that does anything for me.

509
00:55:21,191 --> 00:55:32,371
What I forgot to do is actually. So this is a way to get your audio and video directly in through Rush, which you can always bring in.

510
00:55:32,371 --> 00:55:39,451
And externally, if you want to work with media that you created elsewhere, you were brought in.

511
00:55:39,451 --> 00:55:48,461
The other important thing to consider is you can bring in if I if I go here, I've got this particular.

512
00:55:48,461 --> 00:55:53,471
These are all video, but I can put in still photos here as well.

513
00:55:53,471 --> 00:56:03,861
On my next track and I'll just show you, I can drag this. This is not a still photo, but you can see how we start to layer this video in these tracks.

514
00:56:03,861 --> 00:56:06,291
Now it looks a little daunting,

515
00:56:06,291 --> 00:56:19,761
but the idea is that you have lots of things you can reference within the right here within the Spark page that I've got for you here.

516
00:56:19,761 --> 00:56:29,601
Remember, it's only 60 seconds, 90 seconds starting, starts with a script, starts with awareness of the audience.

517
00:56:29,601 --> 00:56:34,581
Think about the storyboard that maybe you've seen something researched the web.

518
00:56:34,581 --> 00:56:46,431
There are tons of good examples. I want to throw a couple. These are just things I happen to find as I was hunting around for this preparation.

519
00:56:46,431 --> 00:56:53,141
Common mistakes when working with. Video essays.

520
00:56:53,141 --> 00:57:07,761
So I'm going to drop this in the chat pod. Here is my chap on something I found here real fast, common mistakes and video essays and interviews.

521
00:57:07,761 --> 00:57:12,141
Here is one from a an agency that sells its services.

522
00:57:12,141 --> 00:57:21,021
However, it's got some great things to think about if you if you take a look at this.

523
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:29,001
How to make a video job application, if that's what you're looking for. And let's see.

524
00:57:29,001 --> 00:57:38,341
I do have some. Other stuff, Chelsea related to sample portfolio work.

525
00:57:38,341 --> 00:57:43,411
I may drop it into the chat pot as you're presenting that piece.

526
00:57:43,411 --> 00:57:44,401
Yeah, that would be great.

527
00:57:44,401 --> 00:57:50,671
And then what I'm doing is I'm collecting your links that you're putting in here, and then I'm tossing them into our main presentation link.

528
00:57:50,671 --> 00:57:55,771
So that way, everybody who goes to the main presentation will have the updated info.

529
00:57:55,771 --> 00:58:01,281
All right. So in that case, I'll put one more in. And this is for those who have lots of free time.

530
00:58:01,281 --> 00:58:11,451
And they'd like to understand how to use premier pro the best approaches to make a few videos in Rush.

531
00:58:11,451 --> 00:58:17,271
Because when you do that, you know how you made them, right, with the premier pro,

532
00:58:17,271 --> 00:58:24,321
you can say we all a premier program, they open up a rush project and you can take it from there and learn more.

533
00:58:24,321 --> 00:58:33,081
So this particular tutorial has been around for a while, but it's done by one of the heads of a digital video at Adobe.

534
00:58:33,081 --> 00:58:38,631
And he does a great job on this. You may need that rest of that particular.

535
00:58:38,631 --> 00:58:42,521
You are all to be highlighted when you send it. Yeah.

536
00:58:42,521 --> 00:58:51,081
OK. So that's about all the time I want to spend. Any questions before we transition out.

537
00:58:51,081 --> 00:58:56,951
Now, it sounds good. All right, I'm going to stop sharing.

538
00:58:56,951 --> 00:59:01,021
I think I structure. Right? Yeah, yeah, I think so. OK.

539
00:59:01,021 --> 00:59:06,111
Thank you. That was awesome. All right.

540
00:59:06,111 --> 00:59:13,861
Perfect. Very good caption as well.

541
00:59:13,861 --> 00:59:21,631
OK, perfect. Thank you so much. That was a great overview of Rush makes you want to delve more into it because there's always just so much more.

542
00:59:21,631 --> 00:59:28,801
And I appreciate it. Also, your tips about being able to use your own camera that you have and also in the

543
00:59:28,801 --> 00:59:33,241
eye and or see some of the new equipment we'll be getting will augment that.

544
00:59:33,241 --> 00:59:40,891
So we're working to get cell phone accessories. So like Gimbels and tripods and things like that that you can use with your phone,

545
00:59:40,891 --> 00:59:46,411
because that way you could get those nice shots like the first one that Steve showed on which I think that's

546
00:59:46,411 --> 00:59:53,191
another pitch for taking your video horizontally so you can capture that empty space there and use you know,

547
00:59:53,191 --> 01:00:00,541
they call that like copy space or text space so that you've got space to put your titles where they're not like on top of your face and stuff.

548
01:00:00,541 --> 01:00:04,801
So because that would be kind of awkward. So I'm going to go ahead and I will share.

549
01:00:04,801 --> 01:00:10,411
Let me pull up what I need to. And then I will share my screen and we will get into your portfolio.

550
01:00:10,411 --> 01:00:20,911
So portfolio is another place where you can Hao's, you know, some of your videos as well, and also some of the images that you've created,

551
01:00:20,911 --> 01:00:28,651
maybe using Spark or, you know, other features and so on and so and all the links that Steve shared.

552
01:00:28,651 --> 01:00:34,371
I'm opening them up here and then I will also be tossing them into today's presentation.

553
01:00:34,371 --> 01:00:39,361
And that's what's another nice thing about the sport pages, that you can just update the links right away.

554
01:00:39,361 --> 01:00:49,951
And you guys will have the updated links, which is fantastic. So with the next thing we'll talk about is going to be Adobe portfolio.

555
01:00:49,951 --> 01:01:00,841
So Adobe Portfolio is a Web based option that you can use in order to basically create a presence online.

556
01:01:00,841 --> 01:01:06,751
And so we created a workshop for this little bit more specifically for art.

557
01:01:06,751 --> 01:01:15,751
But because you can add text and images and really kind of whatever you want to portfolio, you know, really anybody can use it.

558
01:01:15,751 --> 01:01:20,941
It just lends itself a little bit more to if you have a lot of images to show.

559
01:01:20,941 --> 01:01:32,551
Photography, journalism, art, because it will integrate with other Adobe applications, such as Behance, you know, and also Adobe stock.

560
01:01:32,551 --> 01:01:38,911
It integrates with that. So if you're selling your photography on stock, it'll integrate with that.

561
01:01:38,911 --> 01:01:40,111
And also Lightroom.

562
01:01:40,111 --> 01:01:48,481
So if you're using Lightroom on your mobile device to sort of maintain your pictures that you're taking or on your desktop to do your photography,

563
01:01:48,481 --> 01:01:54,481
or you can also create whole albums and import the whole album. So there's some integrations that sort of lend itself a little bit more to that.

564
01:01:54,481 --> 01:02:01,801
But, you know, you can use portfolio to create a very nice sort of splash page, almost like an electronic business card.

565
01:02:01,801 --> 01:02:11,251
And so we'll kind of talk about that. So this is a whole nother presentation that is linked to off of the main career presentation.

566
01:02:11,251 --> 01:02:18,181
But today, we're Becka's kind of show you some of how to get into starting to use portfolio and so on.

567
01:02:18,181 --> 01:02:24,241
And just like Steve showed the that Adobe has some fantastic help materials on Rush.

568
01:02:24,241 --> 01:02:28,801
They have it for everything. So I'm getting started with Adobe portfolios here.

569
01:02:28,801 --> 01:02:35,721
So if you have more specific questions, if you're wondering how much can do you know you're trying to push the limits a bit.

570
01:02:35,721 --> 01:02:44,101
Then there's some help documentation there as well. But basically, you can just go to portfolio dot adobe dot com.

571
01:02:44,101 --> 01:02:51,661
And, of course, you sign in with your Adobe I.D. And here I've already created some sites already.

572
01:02:51,661 --> 01:02:57,401
So that's why it's asking me which site do I want to edit? So every portfolio has been around for a little while,

573
01:02:57,401 --> 01:03:08,101
but they did a whole lot of updates last December that were really good and kind of lent itself more to creating additional portfolios.

574
01:03:08,101 --> 01:03:12,991
So you can create up to five portfolios with Adobe portfolio.

575
01:03:12,991 --> 01:03:14,131
And, you know,

576
01:03:14,131 --> 01:03:25,441
they become sort of attached to your Adobe I.D. They also just announced they have a Debi's offering a new graduation program where when you graduate,

577
01:03:25,441 --> 01:03:33,631
you can maintain your Adobe portfolio for a full year before you ported over to a new Adobe.

578
01:03:33,631 --> 01:03:39,861
You can essentially put it over to a new Adobe idea without cost is essentially what they're doing, which is very nice.

579
01:03:39,861 --> 01:03:45,781
So and then so if you start, you know, out and then build your portfolio as you go,

580
01:03:45,781 --> 01:03:48,871
or even if you're a little bit later in your career and you're creating one now,

581
01:03:48,871 --> 01:03:53,851
this creates a nice way for you to have basically like a professional web presence.

582
01:03:53,851 --> 01:04:04,051
Of course, you know, also use the resources from the writing center who maintain the portfolio, you know, initiative so that we partner with them.

583
01:04:04,051 --> 01:04:06,061
Please, of course, continue to work with them.

584
01:04:06,061 --> 01:04:12,481
They're very good at helping you pick out, you know, what professional pieces should go on your site and things like that.

585
01:04:12,481 --> 01:04:13,641
We kind of help out.

586
01:04:13,641 --> 01:04:24,801
The technical details of it, so because Adobe is, of course, offered to you through Auburn, you know, porfolio can be an option for your portfolio.

587
01:04:24,801 --> 01:04:29,751
And then the main ones that they say that the writing center supports are Wick's, we believe in WordPress.

588
01:04:29,751 --> 01:04:33,291
So those are some of the other options. OK. But portfolio's very nice.

589
01:04:33,291 --> 01:04:39,201
Does very much wizzy with drag and drop, bring things in and then create from there.

590
01:04:39,201 --> 01:04:47,751
And so we since I've already created some sites, then I can edit some current ones that I have going on here or I can create a new site.

591
01:04:47,751 --> 01:04:52,041
So I must start with creating a new site at first. You can see,

592
01:04:52,041 --> 01:04:57,201
but think about the fact that you can create up to five sites as you may have

593
01:04:57,201 --> 01:05:01,101
a couple of different sites for different sort of goals that you may have,

594
01:05:01,101 --> 01:05:04,851
kind of like you might have different versions of your resume.

595
01:05:04,851 --> 01:05:12,831
So that's an idea as well as a way to create a very simple sort of Web page that you can that looks really nice and so on.

596
01:05:12,831 --> 01:05:21,471
And so, yeah. So it's telling me I can create create a, you know, a Web site and it's totally free preview and pick a theme.

597
01:05:21,471 --> 01:05:26,781
So they do have themes that are sort of preset, but then you can make changes within those themes.

598
01:05:26,781 --> 01:05:31,041
So very much like you could choose a template and spark and then make changes. Same kind of thing.

599
01:05:31,041 --> 01:05:37,041
So the main sort of thing to understand our portfolio is sort of the differences in the types of pages.

600
01:05:37,041 --> 01:05:43,941
So they have what they call a gallery page, which is like this, where you can choose to have what images you want to show.

601
01:05:43,941 --> 01:05:49,881
So if you're somebody who wants to, like, show your work immediately, like you want that on your home page.

602
01:05:49,881 --> 01:05:57,831
And then people can click on your work and go to additional pieces or information about, you know, your work and so on, then that's an option.

603
01:05:57,831 --> 01:06:03,591
You can also set up by using a welcome page. This is what we would call maybe a splash page.

604
01:06:03,591 --> 01:06:12,111
So if you're picking your portfolio as sort of a landing page, the people arrive to you, give them your portfolio link, which is very nice.

605
01:06:12,111 --> 01:06:16,161
You can actually see if you saw mine. It was CPA Chino's my username.

606
01:06:16,161 --> 01:06:24,351
But you can change that basically for free. You'll just keep retain them my portfolio dot com aspect of it.

607
01:06:24,351 --> 01:06:28,071
And then there is a way that if you wanted to, you know,

608
01:06:28,071 --> 01:06:34,971
pay for your own domain and use Adobe portfolio as your main career Web site and pay for your own domain,

609
01:06:34,971 --> 01:06:39,651
they make it pretty easy to do that in the settings of portfolio. So that's an option as well.

610
01:06:39,651 --> 01:06:44,781
But it's still very nice that you can change as long as it's not being used by somebody else.

611
01:06:44,781 --> 01:06:50,811
You know, so I can go into the settings and portfolio and change mine to Chelsea Whooper, my portfolio dot com.

612
01:06:50,811 --> 01:06:58,291
And that's pretty nice. You are real. And of course, you could also make a short you are all or something like that to your portfolio page.

613
01:06:58,291 --> 01:07:04,211
That's those are all options as well. But you want to think about what's the first page that you want to show up?

614
01:07:04,211 --> 01:07:08,421
You know, do you want it to be a full portfolio or do you want it to be a welcome page?

615
01:07:08,421 --> 01:07:12,081
You can adjust this later if you want to, but depending on what you need,

616
01:07:12,081 --> 01:07:21,111
if you don't have a whole slew of artwork to show you just need some nice splash page and then some a couple of pages with some text spots,

617
01:07:21,111 --> 01:07:26,961
maybe posture, you know, parts of your resumé or some some information, a few pictures.

618
01:07:26,961 --> 01:07:34,431
Then opening up to a welcome page might be a good option. We'll just gonna choose full, full portfolio for today.

619
01:07:34,431 --> 01:07:38,421
And then what we need to look at next is basically look at the types of themes.

620
01:07:38,421 --> 01:07:45,531
Something I learned, too, which is kind of fun, is that the Adobe portfolio themes are named after the people who design them.

621
01:07:45,531 --> 01:07:51,081
So that's pretty cool. And so you're just looking at the style when you're looking at the themes,

622
01:07:51,081 --> 01:07:54,741
you're kind of mostly looking at the style of the navigation that's present here.

623
01:07:54,741 --> 01:08:01,101
You can do some adjusting there. But in general, you want to look at the navigation at the at the styling of it.

624
01:08:01,101 --> 01:08:05,451
Do you like where it's at? Do you you can change the fonts and that kind of thing.

625
01:08:05,451 --> 01:08:10,491
But the whole point of kind of choosing a theme is that it's helping you with the design throughout.

626
01:08:10,491 --> 01:08:18,561
And notice how it's also showing you how does it look like on a phone. So it's also very good doing responsive design, which is great.

627
01:08:18,561 --> 01:08:23,241
So it's automatically ported in there for you, which is very good.

628
01:08:23,241 --> 01:08:26,931
So you can see these different themes. This one has a spot for what they call logo.

629
01:08:26,931 --> 01:08:32,821
So you could have your own logo, just like we talked about in SPARC. Have your own logo here in Portfolio as well.

630
01:08:32,821 --> 01:08:35,991
No, I think not all themes have a spot for a logo.

631
01:08:35,991 --> 01:08:42,051
So if you do have a logo and that's important to you, you want to pick a theme that does have that as an option.

632
01:08:42,051 --> 01:08:45,421
Then here's one that where they do have a gallery, but they've got a nice sort of,

633
01:08:45,421 --> 01:08:50,721
you know, splash a sort of splash image at the top at the beginning.

634
01:08:50,721 --> 01:08:56,991
And then over here we've got one with side navigation, you know, top navigation.

635
01:08:56,991 --> 01:09:00,171
So just kind of look through them and see which one you kind of like,

636
01:09:00,171 --> 01:09:06,081
and then you can just create a welcome page instead if you didn't like any of these and wanted to just start from that.

637
01:09:06,081 --> 01:09:10,761
So we'll just pick. We'll pick Rose. We'll go at the same.

638
01:09:10,761 --> 01:09:16,331
So here we can we can say we can look. Through this and see, do we still like it?

639
01:09:16,331 --> 01:09:20,361
I'm sure this is good. So we'll go ahead and pick use this thing and notice over here.

640
01:09:20,361 --> 01:09:23,931
We can preview it as a tablet and as a phone to before.

641
01:09:23,931 --> 01:09:28,821
And then we can also preview the different themes here as we like to as well.

642
01:09:28,821 --> 01:09:32,241
So we can go through here and say, oh, we'd like this one better.

643
01:09:32,241 --> 01:09:36,171
This one's nice because it's kind of like the best of both worlds is a little bit of a splash,

644
01:09:36,171 --> 01:09:39,751
you know, information, but then scrolling on to see the work.

645
01:09:39,751 --> 01:09:45,341
So that's an idea as well. So you can just scroll through these and see what you like and so on.

646
01:09:45,341 --> 01:09:50,531
And then once you pick one that you like will go thunderous. That's pretty nice. So we'll use this.

647
01:09:50,531 --> 01:09:55,251
And then it's going to create our sites. We can, of course, delete sites at any time.

648
01:09:55,251 --> 01:09:58,991
You know, we can change all the settings and so on today.

649
01:09:58,991 --> 01:10:01,331
The goal is to just kind of show you some of the basics.

650
01:10:01,331 --> 01:10:06,071
And then depending on what you need, you can you'll know how to go in and make adjustments and so on.

651
01:10:06,071 --> 01:10:14,471
And so, of course, to make changes. You basically just mouseover. And then you can make changes to whatever is showing up here.

652
01:10:14,471 --> 01:10:22,001
This is this is the spot for a logo. So notice the logo is just the is is my name right now.

653
01:10:22,001 --> 01:10:28,211
But I could of course, edit that and pull something else in as my logo if I wanted to.

654
01:10:28,211 --> 01:10:34,841
So that could be an option as well. I've seen also some people use their signature as their logo.

655
01:10:34,841 --> 01:10:38,201
You take a picture of your signature and then remove the background.

656
01:10:38,201 --> 01:10:44,391
And that's a kind of a neat way to get a real quick logo if you don't want to, like, commit yourself to shapes and colors and stuff like that.

657
01:10:44,391 --> 01:10:52,421
This kind of a neat idea. And then basically over here, you can make changes to all your different pages.

658
01:10:52,421 --> 01:10:56,831
You can edit, of course, the text this year. We can add pages.

659
01:10:56,831 --> 01:11:00,371
So notice when we add pages, it's going to ask us what kind of page do we want?

660
01:11:00,371 --> 01:11:06,311
So I can add a custom sub page and then I can add items to that page there.

661
01:11:06,311 --> 01:11:13,391
I can also add a image here that would show sort of what that page about and link to it.

662
01:11:13,391 --> 01:11:18,601
I can also integrate a light room album. So here, if I click here, then I can go into it,

663
01:11:18,601 --> 01:11:24,731
will pull my Lightroom albums and I can just click my outlet, remove them and or magically pull it in.

664
01:11:24,731 --> 01:11:28,871
So you can add pages there as far as managing your site.

665
01:11:28,871 --> 01:11:33,281
You can also manage your pages over here on the side.

666
01:11:33,281 --> 01:11:39,941
So once you have pages created in in a minute, I'll show you one that's partially done so you can get a better idea.

667
01:11:39,941 --> 01:11:44,261
But that shows your pages. That's also how you navigate your integrations.

668
01:11:44,261 --> 01:11:48,921
If you have a Behance account, it's going to automatically bring those.

669
01:11:48,921 --> 01:11:57,941
And so keeping that in mind, if you do have Behance setup is basically like a Dobies professional colleague, a link done for creatives.

670
01:11:57,941 --> 01:12:03,311
But you can show your work essentially. And then Adobe Lightroom, I can add albums here.

671
01:12:03,311 --> 01:12:08,471
And if I'm selling it, every socket can add that integration here, which is very nice.

672
01:12:08,471 --> 01:12:14,601
If I decide I don't like this theme, I can go back and switch to a different theme if I want to.

673
01:12:14,601 --> 01:12:23,051
You can also do this. So if you want to kind of just give your your portfolio fresher look.

674
01:12:23,051 --> 01:12:31,211
You were to be careful, maybe not to pick a theme that's way too way too different because you might have to do some editing after that.

675
01:12:31,211 --> 01:12:37,841
But under these settings is where you will find the ability to change your subdomain.

676
01:12:37,841 --> 01:12:42,881
And so this is where you can it's going to automatically your first one is going to actually be your username.

677
01:12:42,881 --> 01:12:48,191
And of course, we probably don't want something like CPA, Zus or twenty three. So here's where you would go in and make changes to that.

678
01:12:48,191 --> 01:12:52,991
So you can change it to whatever you want as long as it's not already taken.

679
01:12:52,991 --> 01:12:58,781
And then notice it says you can only change your subdomain five times. So I kind of think carefully before what you want to use.

680
01:12:58,781 --> 01:13:05,321
And then notice you can even purchase a domain right from here or go and purchase one on your own and then connect it.

681
01:13:05,321 --> 01:13:12,461
So later, if you want to or now, if you wanted to have your own domain and get rid of my portfolio dot com part,

682
01:13:12,461 --> 01:13:20,261
which is not bad at all, it's actually really nice. Then you have the ability to do that from here, which is nice.

683
01:13:20,261 --> 01:13:23,121
And then throughout here you have all kinds of other options.

684
01:13:23,121 --> 01:13:28,871
So if you need to enter met attacks through your site to get more visibility, you can do that.

685
01:13:28,871 --> 01:13:32,991
You also have a social sharing thumbnail that you can upload.

686
01:13:32,991 --> 01:13:37,601
So like this is what will show up here, you know, like Spark as little Espey there,

687
01:13:37,601 --> 01:13:42,071
then that would show up when somebody goes to your page so you can make your email thumbnail and put that there.

688
01:13:42,071 --> 01:13:46,811
So maybe that will be your logo or a part of your logo or whatever it is.

689
01:13:46,811 --> 01:13:48,611
You have all kinds of other site options.

690
01:13:48,611 --> 01:13:53,681
So if you're looking so for just for sort of the technical settings, you're going to find them all under here.

691
01:13:53,681 --> 01:14:01,691
You can also password protect the whole Web site from here and then under pages, you can password protect certain pages.

692
01:14:01,691 --> 01:14:08,681
So if you want to add one page should be password protected, maybe yours, you know, entering a contest.

693
01:14:08,681 --> 01:14:12,341
And so you've put stuff on a Web page for entering that contest.

694
01:14:12,341 --> 01:14:19,481
You can password protect that, send it to somebody that way. And so you have you can change the account region.

695
01:14:19,481 --> 01:14:22,391
Again, this is kind of where you do the more technical pieces.

696
01:14:22,391 --> 01:14:27,671
Of course, you feel free to dig through there, you know, as you're sort of setting up your site and so on.

697
01:14:27,671 --> 01:14:33,551
And then down here, we can we can turn off the fact that there's a logo if we don't need one right now.

698
01:14:33,551 --> 01:14:40,691
So we could we can we can do that and get rid of it. We can alter the navigation styles.

699
01:14:40,691 --> 01:14:47,131
We can turn the. Navigation off if we wanted to. It's going to automatically add the navigation as I ad pages.

700
01:14:47,131 --> 01:14:51,421
So if I don't want that for some reason, then I can manage that.

701
01:14:51,421 --> 01:14:57,961
It's this this particular theme has a flutter, so it automatically has a footer here at the end.

702
01:14:57,961 --> 01:15:03,331
And I can edit the footer if I like. And so on.

703
01:15:03,331 --> 01:15:08,431
And then we can also we can also just turn the footer off.

704
01:15:08,431 --> 01:15:13,231
We can have the footer, put our social icons in there.

705
01:15:13,231 --> 01:15:16,861
And then once we have a social icon set up, though, automatically appear in there.

706
01:15:16,861 --> 01:15:24,691
So you can actually have your links to LinkedIn. You know, Behance, Twitter, you know, whatever you want from there.

707
01:15:24,691 --> 01:15:28,831
And then you've got some other options here. This is for this collection.

708
01:15:28,831 --> 01:15:33,691
So this piece of work. These are some different options that we have.

709
01:15:33,691 --> 01:15:38,791
Different page stylings. We can do. And then if we liked what we were doing with the site, we would publish it.

710
01:15:38,791 --> 01:15:44,281
And then it would be essentially life. And we can also preview it.

711
01:15:44,281 --> 01:15:49,021
And so once the site is live, that link is live under that sub domain.

712
01:15:49,021 --> 01:15:53,791
And then, you know, then you could start posting it and so on.

713
01:15:53,791 --> 01:15:58,861
But Freeview helps you look at your site. You know, as you're building it so you can kind of see what's going on.

714
01:15:58,861 --> 01:16:03,481
So what I would do first is maybe just show you a couple of other sites.

715
01:16:03,481 --> 01:16:07,921
Another site, this sort of a little bit more finished and so on.

716
01:16:07,921 --> 01:16:17,231
And then what we can do also is I think Alex has a portfolio that she can show and Noelle, I think has a portfolio that he can show.

717
01:16:17,231 --> 01:16:21,781
So you guys can get sort of an idea of what what does it look like for a student.

718
01:16:21,781 --> 01:16:26,251
So we'll go to, you know, sort of my initial portfolio here.

719
01:16:26,251 --> 01:16:35,041
So this is one that I'm working on because my goal is to kind of put all of my presentations in one spot.

720
01:16:35,041 --> 01:16:39,691
So then I don't have to do all these tiny little bit you URLs all the time.

721
01:16:39,691 --> 01:16:49,891
Right. I can do some people to one portfolio link and then tell them the correct image to click on to get to the presentation for the day.

722
01:16:49,891 --> 01:16:55,441
So I chose a gallery page as being the landing page because I felt like that would work best for this,

723
01:16:55,441 --> 01:16:59,431
because then I wanted people to see the presentations right there.

724
01:16:59,431 --> 01:17:06,061
And so these are Sparke Page. These are images. And then the image is linked to a spark page link.

725
01:17:06,061 --> 01:17:10,991
So you can, of course, hyperlink images just like you can hyperlink text and so on.

726
01:17:10,991 --> 01:17:17,561
And so each of these are separate pages with an image.

727
01:17:17,561 --> 01:17:20,881
And it tells them, click the image below for the workshop presentation.

728
01:17:20,881 --> 01:17:28,591
And then that's all the pages, the pages basically just this title, subtitle in an image and that and that's all that it is.

729
01:17:28,591 --> 01:17:35,281
And then so I have the navigation over here. So the splash page essentially is here.

730
01:17:35,281 --> 01:17:39,481
So we can navigate this way. So this is an example of a splash page that I tossed in here.

731
01:17:39,481 --> 01:17:43,861
So something like this, you can make the home page if you wanted to.

732
01:17:43,861 --> 01:17:48,991
And then you can just click to add your social profiles, add in your social profiles is so nice.

733
01:17:48,991 --> 01:17:54,121
This is so easy. You know, you just they already have the icons built in.

734
01:17:54,121 --> 01:18:02,221
You just post what your Twitter handle is, you know, and then like for LinkedIn, you go get your link and pasted in there.

735
01:18:02,221 --> 01:18:07,231
And then as you pasted in there, it'll turn it on and you will just already be there.

736
01:18:07,231 --> 01:18:11,571
Which is so great. And then we can go back to the different pages.

737
01:18:11,571 --> 01:18:17,071
So this shows you the the navigation and where these pages are.

738
01:18:17,071 --> 01:18:23,821
So if I wanted to narced pages, then I can move these around according to whatever hierarchy I want.

739
01:18:23,821 --> 01:18:26,581
I can also change what's the home page.

740
01:18:26,581 --> 01:18:34,471
So if I wanted to make this one the home page, essentially you go to the gear settings for each page to make certain changes about it.

741
01:18:34,471 --> 01:18:39,841
So I can set this one is the home page if I wanted to. I can also add a page password here.

742
01:18:39,841 --> 01:18:51,571
So that's where I can password protect just one page if I wanted to. And then over here is where I added I added a light room integration here.

743
01:18:51,571 --> 01:18:54,961
So what's nice about that is that it will just pull in your photo.

744
01:18:54,961 --> 01:19:03,181
So if you had an experience or something like that that you wanted to express and you had a series of photos, put them in Lightroom,

745
01:19:03,181 --> 01:19:09,901
you know, either on your desk, soccer on your mobile device, and you can determine the order within Lightroom.

746
01:19:09,901 --> 01:19:18,271
You can caption them within Lightroom. And then once you bring it into your portfolio, you know, it'll pull the entire album for you.

747
01:19:18,271 --> 01:19:22,021
And it just magically there in like two seconds, which is so great.

748
01:19:22,021 --> 01:19:30,601
Now, the trick is, if you make changes to that Lightroom album and you want those changes to be reflected in your portfolio,

749
01:19:30,601 --> 01:19:34,941
then what you essentially do is you just have to go back into these.

750
01:19:34,941 --> 01:19:41,661
They manage the integration pieces and then you just have to reset from like.

751
01:19:41,661 --> 01:19:46,311
So you have to tell it refresh, please. Pull pull this album again.

752
01:19:46,311 --> 01:19:51,441
And so we'll have your changes there that you made. And of course, kind of like Spark.

753
01:19:51,441 --> 01:19:57,151
If you want to add things, you can also just click the plus sign and then you get choices of things to add and so on.

754
01:19:57,151 --> 01:20:02,391
OK. So that's it. That's the essence of one page, sort of the nuts and bolts.

755
01:20:02,391 --> 01:20:06,201
Of course you can, you know, you can edit the navigation and so on.

756
01:20:06,201 --> 01:20:12,351
So makes it nice and easy to kind of pull together some quick information, which is great.

757
01:20:12,351 --> 01:20:21,831
So I think what I'll do now is I'll go ahead and stop sharing. And then maybe, Alex, if you want to show your portfolio, that would be great.

758
01:20:21,831 --> 01:20:27,501
Yeah. Let me share my screen if you can.

759
01:20:27,501 --> 01:20:32,231
He says host disabled attendee's screen sharing all. Why would I do that?

760
01:20:32,231 --> 01:20:36,311
So I want to make you a co-host again. There we go.

761
01:20:36,311 --> 01:20:40,081
OK. Should be OK now. Yes. Perfect. Thank you.

762
01:20:40,081 --> 01:20:46,101
Off to do the same for me. Yeah. Go ahead and do you two as well.

763
01:20:46,101 --> 01:20:50,211
But this one. This is my portfolio. I'm a graphic design student student.

764
01:20:50,211 --> 01:21:01,761
So I also did this gallery layout mostly because like on my resumé that I might send out for internships or to employers.

765
01:21:01,761 --> 01:21:07,011
I include my my sub domain link here on my resume.

766
01:21:07,011 --> 01:21:10,251
So that way they can actually type that in.

767
01:21:10,251 --> 01:21:16,491
Or click on it and view the work that I've been doing through my classes in school or personally on the side.

768
01:21:16,491 --> 01:21:23,841
But these are these are just different projects that I have done and I'm using Adobe portfolio.

769
01:21:23,841 --> 01:21:30,681
So we'll just click on one. I also have these navigation tabs here. So we're looking at the portfolio like my actual portfolio here.

770
01:21:30,681 --> 01:21:38,511
If we click on this, this kind of goes to my bio. And I've included my social media icons here.

771
01:21:38,511 --> 01:21:41,301
So you can go back to that.

772
01:21:41,301 --> 01:21:49,341
And then a contact page, say if somebody happened to come across this on the Internet, you know, they could send me an email.

773
01:21:49,341 --> 01:21:55,281
My e-mails private. So they don't get that information. It just contacts me through this.

774
01:21:55,281 --> 01:22:00,291
But if you click on. No, I'm just kind of formatted it. It kind of it comes to a big image.

775
01:22:00,291 --> 01:22:07,191
But then as you scroll, it gets into my research, the background behind my projects and the development of them.

776
01:22:07,191 --> 01:22:14,901
And then eventually the final product of what I created. So that's kind of my portfolio in a nutshell.

777
01:22:14,901 --> 01:22:19,491
Yeah, that is great. Yeah. Thank you for sharing that. I forgot about the contact page.

778
01:22:19,491 --> 01:22:24,741
I'm glad you mentioned that. That's super, super easy to add in our portfolio.

779
01:22:24,741 --> 01:22:28,911
You just literally say, I want to contact me section and it just adds just like that.

780
01:22:28,911 --> 01:22:37,461
And like like Alex said, you know, that way you're not putting your email address out there for bots or whoever to get there.

781
01:22:37,461 --> 01:22:44,991
It'll come to your email that's associated with your portfolio, but it's not out there public for everybody.

782
01:22:44,991 --> 01:22:53,001
Cool. OK, great. And so, Noel, if you'd like to maybe share your portfolio, that would give us another sort of example to look at.

783
01:22:53,001 --> 01:22:58,351
That would be great for. So similar to Alex.

784
01:22:58,351 --> 01:23:05,921
This is my portfolio page. You just see them listed for a gallery view of my projects.

785
01:23:05,921 --> 01:23:16,251
Then you can click on to one. And I usually like Alex, start with a hero image of the main.

786
01:23:16,251 --> 01:23:20,421
The main image, and then I can go through and see.

787
01:23:20,421 --> 01:23:29,961
You can learn who it was for some of the target audience that was trying to take for integration some background research,

788
01:23:29,961 --> 01:23:35,671
including some thumbnails, type studies and colors.

789
01:23:35,671 --> 01:23:42,021
My mood board. And finally, I did a mock up of where you could possibly see it.

790
01:23:42,021 --> 01:23:47,041
And finally, some links to more of my work.

791
01:23:47,041 --> 01:23:50,721
Perfect. That is great. Yeah. Thank you so much for showing that.

792
01:23:50,721 --> 01:23:59,631
That's awesome. So it's always good to just get an idea of other people's work and portfolios to add on the portfolio resource page.

793
01:23:59,631 --> 01:24:05,121
There's also additional examples. This is a great video, too.

794
01:24:05,121 --> 01:24:11,031
He gives more into depth about portfolio theory, why he does great videos for Adobe.

795
01:24:11,031 --> 01:24:17,421
And then there's also additional examples here. And also some some of these examples have video incorporated.

796
01:24:17,421 --> 01:24:23,721
So, for instance, like having sort of videos being on your splash page, then that has some options, too.

797
01:24:23,721 --> 01:24:32,001
And then for our career workshop today, we have also some additional resources, some sort of extra goodies.

798
01:24:32,001 --> 01:24:36,231
This is a great resource from a Debbie on how to use Lightroom to make a professional headshot.

799
01:24:36,231 --> 01:24:42,951
So you've got a really nice picture yourself. How do you get that sort of nice white, crisp background, if that's what you want as your background?

800
01:24:42,951 --> 01:24:49,821
And then you've got something that you can kind of use to brand yourself and put throughout your items that you're using.

801
01:24:49,821 --> 01:24:56,091
And of course, you guys have access to Adobe Stockstill, so that's fantastic to use.

802
01:24:56,091 --> 01:25:03,261
And if you're interested in developing your resumé, we have a whole nother presentation on using and designed to help you design your resume.

803
01:25:03,261 --> 01:25:10,041
If you want to do sort of more snazzy version, that's a little deep and a little bit more involved than what we can do in today's workshop.

804
01:25:10,041 --> 01:25:16,041
But information that we have a whole prerecorded actually one hour workshop on how to

805
01:25:16,041 --> 01:25:21,381
use and design to to design your Azmat and you could use illustrator to some people,

806
01:25:21,381 --> 01:25:28,281
use illustrator and networks walls also. And then, of course, the Adobe Creative Pods student tutorials are fantastic.

807
01:25:28,281 --> 01:25:32,321
And in the future, we're gonna be working with Adobe.

808
01:25:32,321 --> 01:25:38,061
He's gonna be hosting some career jams. So we hosted a core creative jam last fall.

809
01:25:38,061 --> 01:25:45,201
And it's basically like a design contest. But so this year they're kind of angling at around sort of career materials design.

810
01:25:45,201 --> 01:25:49,251
So that would be fun to join. There's usually cash prizes and stuff like that.

811
01:25:49,251 --> 01:25:55,971
So that would be a great resource as well. This was us last fall doing the Adobe, the Adobe Jam also.

812
01:25:55,971 --> 01:25:59,391
And our new Web site, the I.R.S. is Web site.

813
01:25:59,391 --> 01:26:03,291
And we've got our workshops listed there and all of that as well.

814
01:26:03,291 --> 01:26:08,061
So we're happy to take any questions at this point.

815
01:26:08,061 --> 01:26:16,611
But I just want to thank Alex and Noel for helping with the chat and help them with our presentation today and showing their portfolios.

816
01:26:16,611 --> 01:26:28,131
That was great. Thank you so much. And of course, special thanks to Steve for coming and presenting today to us with Rush.

817
01:26:28,131 --> 01:26:33,531
That was fantastic. And those are great ways to get yourself noticed in your career.

818
01:26:33,531 --> 01:26:41,301
And also, you're demonstrating that you have additional skills as well, which can often kind of put you, would you, over the top.

819
01:26:41,301 --> 01:26:45,321
Which is great. So so thank you so much for attending today.

820
01:26:45,321 --> 01:26:51,784
Really appreciate it. And I will hang out for a few minutes in case you have a couple of questions.
