1. Choose a theme of some sort and accumulate some related raw visual research on your blog. The theme can be very loose and fun. For example: "abstract pattern designs," "monsters," "random stuff that I've drawn for no good reason," "famous biscuits of the middle ages," "angry old people," "doodles," "pseudopods n' such," "goat referendum," "body parts and organs," etc. Use the theme choice to help you, not hinder you. If you're not one to enjoy thinking up themes ahead of time, just make stuff and think about a theme after you're into the project. Also, don't be afraid to let your theme evolve/change as you create your dingbats!
2. Create a Flash Library of 26 symbols related to your theme!
3. Use your library to create an organized layout of your symbols and export it as .png.
4. Create a set of 3 collages (see example by Samuel Casal, above) using your dingbat symbols and export these as .png's.
5. As usual, post all of this fragrant goodness to your blog.
Due date: Wednesday, January 20, 9:00 a.m.
Here is a link to the demo videos taking you through the basics of drawing and symbol making in Flash. Victory!
