Flash Quick Course - Week1

During the winter break I took a quick course on flash.

We worked on a few projects first I used a picture of Patch that I had to do this one:


The bird flies into the picture and perches on the bird feeder. The only thing wrong with the picture was that I did not use the fill command on most of the drawing (only Patch) so I had to do another picture to show I understood how the fill command worked. I came up with this picture:



We next worked on a banner for a spoof movie, I used the idea from a book I once read "Who moved my Cheese":



We then did a movie of a time bomb counting down from 5 and exploding with a graphic. I have tried to upload it here but I do not have the correct format for this bolg area. I will work on getting it modified, or maybe I will go to another site once I get it up and running.

Our last week we worked on Other videos to use buttons and movement. These were fun to work on and I even drew an animation of a runner to use for a race we did. I hope that I now have a basis for my next course using flash.

Basic Web Scripting

For this class we learned to use the code to build a web site. Using both html and css files. I designed a site for a friend to sell his Brangus Cattle. At this time I am waiting on pictures of the Bulls that are for sale, so when I get those I will put the link to the site here. Sorry it is not ready at this time.

Note: I still have a 4.0 gpa

Screen Design & Graphics

For this class we were to find a web site that needed a face lift. I chose Je'riel Fashions The page loads slow and it is made up of graphics, which is good for a flyer or poster but not for a web site.
Here is a picture of the original site:



We were to make up some modified layouts that we thought would enhance the site I came up with these:



And the one that was desided would be the best to continue on with was this one:



After working with fonts of different types color schemes and the layout this was my end product:

Extra Credit

Luckily we were given the chance to do extra credit for the Design and Typography course. Here are a few tutorials I did for the class:






So I ended up with an A for the course. With overtime at work and such an intense course it was good that extra credit was offered. I learned many things about fonts that I took for granted before this course.

Design and Typography week 6 Taxi Driver Final

The finished product; Taxi Driver StoryBoard:









As you can see I ended up using only fonts to convey the graphics.

Design and Typography week 6 Taxi Driver

We are tasked to make a story board for a movie. I chose Taxi Driver.
