For the first flash project, we will create a room or site that encourages the viewers exploration through a space. How the viewer navigates through this space or site must consider the user's navigation, but also an overall theme or concept. That statement can be personal or political, but you will be graded on your ability to use the medium in a creative way that communicates your idea. The content is up to you and as well as the format: narrative, interactive, game-like, etc. Your main goal is to make an artwork about a subject you are personal invested in that uses Flash.
What/When do I turn in?
On wednesday, November 19th, you will turn in a published .swf file to me and we will view them on the projector.
The Flash piece should incorporate at least 3 of the animation features we have learned. This includes:
* buttons
* shape tweening
* motion tweening
* movies, objects, symbols
* masking
* sound
Points to Consider
Many of you know flash from the animated stories, graphics, interactive games and puzzles made by it on the web and many artists are using it as their artistic medium of choice. Some criticisms of it among those concerned with "Art" are that many artworks made using Flash end up with a similar aesthetic (flat, cartoony, silly) and that they deliver too much "flash" at the expense of any content. Can you prove them wrong?
You will be graded on concept as well as executions. Only working projects with honest, well invested, and communicated ideas will get an “A”.
