The Staff Assistants: Team D
by: Zach Blaifeder
   
This photo journal is part four in a four part series, which documented all the hard work that the staff assistants do. Team D does mostly everything you will see on the Campus Kids website, which includes taking pictures daily, writing photo journals, and conducting staff interviews
There are three Team D staff assistants, and each is assigned to a different activity area to take pictures each day.
One member of Team D goes to take pictures of sports.

Another Team D member will take pictures of performing arts activities.
The Team D member that is not taking pictures of sports or performing arts will take pictures of art related activities.
 
Taking pictures is not the only job of Team D. They also must edit and upload them to the website! The first part of this process is editing the pictures on a photo editing software. The first step to editing a picture is using the one step photo fix tool. This automatically makes the picture have an overall better look.
Then, the photo must be resized for your viewing pleasure. If the photo was not resized it would look huge to the viewer when it's clicked on. Try clicking on the picture to the left to see what happens!
After the photos are edited, they go up onto the website using Microsoft Expression Web.
  Besides putting up pictures, Team D also writes photo journals.
Photo journals may be written about shows, activities, or special events that go on at camp. Each member of Team D roves around campus looking for the perfect story.
Much like taking pictures for the galleries, the pictures for the photo journals are then edited, and Team D then writes a story about the pictures they just took.
The last job Team D has is to interview the staff members. Usually, a few interviews are posted on the web site each day. Team D uses a template to write each interview.
This is the finished product!  
  And where does all of this hard work get done? Team D is always hard at work in the comfy confines of Annie Hall!
All in all, Team D does lots of work each day to make sure the website runs smoothly. They have fun though, as they get to walk around camp and experience the many awesome activities there are at Campus Kids. Who wouldn't want a job like that?
