Final Flash Project
You have two possible choices for your final project.
Final 1: Spacial Screens
Final 2: Educational Animation
Final 1: Spacial screens
In Flash we are able to have complex environments and to suggest space. Rather
than using a 2D web design space, this project asks you to create an immersive
environment. You will suggest depth on the screen and, using animation and design,
create a compelling space. Basic guidelines:
-Realistic space, or abstract space.
-Three different environments
-Innovative or engaging way for us to move between the environments. (transitions)
-Create a story, but do not need too- the design of your environments can tell
a story by themselves.
-Use vector graphics or drawings more than photos. Try to limit photographs.
And use your OWN ART.
-Basic actionscript to navigate between symbols.
-No traditional web page designs. Think about web SPACE, not screen.
-Perhaps you could use ideas from Prof. Ehreman's class
How can you suggest depth on the screen?

Final 2: Educational Animation
Create different Flash animations, you will explain/demonstrate a process, and educate us. For example how can you depict how we hear, how our heart works, how solar energy works, how something is made, etc.?
Instructional or Educational Animations are animations are used to provide instructions and to faciliate better comprehension of a complex subject. As designers you should learn how to present information in a clear and interesting manner. With new web and animation developments a new field is opening up.
