Amination

• Explored a number of Flash animations.
• Use a lot in advertising.
• Should get familiar with the International Advertising Bureau - a set of standards for clients, users, and the hosting medium
• Most animations need to be between 12 - 15 seconds

Animation

Notes:

• We are using Adobe Flash to animate.
• File formats - .flash (create the animation) and then convert to .swf to view/play
• Key-by-key animation - like a flipbook 
• Tweaning - influence shape, movement, opacity, colour

When things aren't working, check you have converted it to flash objects. There are objects within objects within objects.

In relations to MyLogo assignment think about what kind of logo do I want to have? What do I want my logo to say?

Flash is useful - as a designer there can be a lot of bread and butter work.

Homework -

• think about the name of your business
• check if it has been taken (the URL/domain)
• do you research and look for benchmarks
