"The aim of this project is to explore how interactive design can be used to reflect yourself and professional identity. You will be required to design and create an online box/showcase that contains 5 different interactive “objects” that collectively tells a story about who you are. The flash site must be published on an HTML page."
My initial ideas on this are a little sketchy, im not quite sure what to do for the best and what exactly is required, a few surgery session will be needed me thinks. My initial ideas include making a timeline interactive where as the timeline moves the animations and visual elements evolve and grow into more complicated exciting features. So as the timeline shows me growing as a person the interactivity and complexity of it grows too. I think that for this i will have to think about the best way to show the 'growing' of my box.
I will try and sketch some initial frames out first to help me imagine how it will play out.
will keep you posted!
Flash websites..
We were asked to go on the internet and find some nice, fun, easy to use etc..websites that were built in flash, or included flash in some way.
http://www.walkmankomiks.pl
Although this website isn't in english i still think that the interactivity in it is great. It has good intro pages and also little animations when the pages are loading. this helps them to keep your attention throughout, even when you are having to wait for pages to load. There is also interactity when you click on the different options, with a little animation appearing when you hover the mouse over the option.

You may not like the film, but you gotta love this website! With nice atmospheric adding animations and as the same as above nice animations when waiting for pages to laod. Not sure if its just my connection but the pages did seem to take a while to load.
It is nice to see that the creators have put a small sentence on how to use the website, if you visit you can see how users may become confused. One thing i really like is when you scroll along with the mouse, the faster you go - the faster the screen goes.

another film website. This one however tool less to load than the rambo site. Really great intro to the site. Again like the rambo site you scroll along, although with this one there are a lot more options to click on, all in various places around the site, which i think adds perspective to the site. Nice....

Project 2...The quiz
Right, all focus is now on part 2 of the brief, creating an interactive flash movie./quiz.
The first task in this was to create a simple flash quiz with 3 questions, then a score at the end.
I found this task pretty hard to begin with, this was due to errors with the scripts. It seemed that whenever i had one frame done, another would screw up.
after a while of playing, adding and experiemting i finally cracked it. I found that it was alot easier when i knew what i was doing with the codes...funny that.
Because of this i was able to add a video entrance, with a button to skip it, and also an option to restart the quiz.
