Duh - Monday, Jan 12 plan

Hmm the blogger image upload problem seems to be over. Huzzah. Okay, for Monday we'll:

0) Talk color and Kuler
1) Keep rolling on the secrets and mystic darkness of Flash animation.
2) Make some buttons.
3) Work on uploading .swf files
4) Maybe get some interactivity goin'
5) Talk about your writing assignments.

p.s. I recommend allowing anonymous comments as people won't have to register to comment on your blog.

Wednesday January 7 is coming for you. Are you Ready?

1. Check your blog on the list and make sure it's working. If your blog isn't on there or isn't working post a comment to THIS post with corrections. I commented on your interactive blog posts and will be commenting at least once a week. Cruise your classmates' blogs and leave at least one comment.

2. Link to your classmates' sites on your blog. Customize > Add a Gadget > Link list or blog list.

3. Today we'll be working with some flash basics. At the end of the day you should:
a) Export 3-4 jpegs/gifs/pngs of your work and post them on yer blogs. Use one of these images as a profile image.

b) Export and post a .swf file. To do this, you'll need to have a way to post material to the internet. Here's a tutorial on how to do this.

c) Export and post a quicktime video to your blog.

4. Over the weekend post some images to use as "color scheme" research. Check out the Kuler site.
