Creation of flash flie for iPhone

Explain creation of flash file for iphone state size of image

The first thing I did was to get any image of the internet, so I chose a picture of a Honda cbf and open it in Photoshop. Once I did that I had to crop the image down to the size of an iphone screen 920 – 480. Then I opened adobe illustrator and imported the image. 
Placed a jpg on layer 1 frame 1
The second thing I did was to make a new layer in flash and add a circle on the new layer. Then I was able to move the circle around the image by making it move every five frames on the time line. I did this by clicking on the circle and dragging it where I want, and then I right clicked and make the path.



How you created a shape on layer 2
The next thing I did was to make a second layer and draw a new shape on the circle. On the demo that Marnie showed the class how to two eyes blinking when the circle moves on the chosen path. We did this by making a new layer, selecting the pen tool and drawing whatever image you want and then make it a tween. I didn’t get round to doing this because i fell behind during the demo.

3 methods of capture

I went to astor playing feild to capture graffiti in three different ways, one digital and two non-digital.I chose photography, memory and writng. I took around twenty four images of different parts of the whole wall. Then I need to put these images in to a poster of the park in a unique way. I still need to get round to doing the two non-digital capture methods.

interactive comics

This is some of my research i have done for interactive comics. The first one is an interactive comic called Hotel which is very random and weird in my opinion but at the same time very interactive. Almost every character is interactive. My opinion of this comic is that it has too much going on at once and I cant understand the story line, this comic just doesnt grab my atention.
The second comic i found and researched is a comic called Dead on Arrival which is a much better interactive comic in my eyes because it grabs your attention straight away and i feel that this is more of a comic that Hotel because of the layout and the way that there is more than one story line. You can also choose what character you want to follow. There are no video moments or cutscenes but there are different effects such as zoom, fade, cel shade and pan shots.
