Session 17 [Mon 080310] - Optimizing Images For The Web/ Introduction To Flash & Animation/ Creating The Heads Stage3 Background

Homework
For the last session [Wed 100310] please bring in any sketches that you made for your background preparation to add to your folder.

I will also be taking in a final zip file of your Stage 3 digital artwork next session.

We will wrap up our Flash background and use the rest of the class to do anything in Flash you might want to try - eg Importing one of your heads and animating it in some way.

See you next time.

Session 15 [Mon 010310] - Preparing Final Digital Files For Virtual Book/ Stage 3 Introduction/ Setting Up Flash Bgd Thumb Sheet/ Set Up In Photoshop

Homework
Thank you for all your hard work on the Virtual Book project.
Please prepare your portfolios for Stage 2 as instructed and I will take them in at 2:00pm next session.

Find images for your background and sketch out a plan for how you will combine them using the thumbnail sheet made this session. Remember that your backgrounds must begin and end with the same image for looping animation purposes.

Gather your images into a source images folder in a Heads Stage 3 folder and have them ready for use in Photoshop next time.
