We are starting to work more with flash in my new media class.
So far I have created a flash animation using my logo... which I am going to try and figure out how to add onto my blog...

Also I have started working on sketches for my more long term flash project. My animation deals with the theme of growth, transformation, exploration and realization.
An acorn grows into a small tree.

A leaf on the tree falls off and floats down a stream.

The leaf turns into a ship on the ocean.

The ship sails around the globe.

Frame then gets close in on ship, and when it zooms out, it is just a ship in a bottle.

I am somewhat behind on my entries. But let me bring you up to date. I have almost completed my website. I just uploaded my 'work' page. It was challenging to figure out which photo needed to be linked with what, in order for the roll-over images to work. I was pleased to discover that I could in fact make the background of the main image transparent. I think this is much more pleasing to the eye. I am excited for my new website. It is really coming along. There are just a few details left to iron out, such as, copyright, information on each design piece, and a few sizing and page naming issues. Almost there!

This is a preview of my website which is still under construction. I have also been learning how to create other pages for my website and how to link them to one another.
