Flash tips

Resources
This is the flash tips I bookmark on as my webpage. Sorry to put in here late.

Library Book
I borrowed from NYP library “Flash 3D cheats” that shows me how to make 3D effects. There is step by step instruction which are quite easy to understand.

Online tutorials

To create Flash with a switch between movie clips by pressing on button:

Some Illustrations/Graphic Resources

Here are some graphics that I have done throughout the FYPJ period. [Graphics are all watermarked.]

Resource Files
These are mainly illustration of gadgets or pictures which will later be used for posters, wallpapers and so on. It also includes templates, web interface buttons etc.

These buttons can be used for applications or web pages. It enhances the Interfaces instead of having the usual grey rectangle buttons.

These are some illustration samples done from scratch using Adobe Photoshop.

  1. The first poster you see on the top right is a sample poster I have done for my project multimedia banks with the use of 2 Adobe software- Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. I’ll give a brief description of the logo. As you can see, the shape is similar to a seed. Being pioneers of this project, we are like the seed of a plant growing as we learn and adopt new skills. This also explains why I have chosen the color, green.
  2. This is a mobile application related poster. The phone is taken from the web. While the effects, background etc are all done using Adobe Photoshop.
  3. This is a poster which relates to Macintosh “Apple”. Using the apple I have done, I did some effects on the words, give it a background and a shadow for the apple and the poster is done.
  4. I have use the lock that I have done previously for this poster to emphasize on network security. The black background is filled with little bugs/ghosts which represents viruses.
  5. Another Macintosh related poster. The purple photograph is a photograph of Singapore which I took from the web as well. I enhance it by making it more contrasting by adjusting the levels and sharpening it in Photoshop. I duplicate multiple layers of the photograph and remove squares of pictures from it.
  6. Using the HTC phone, I created a mobile phone advertisement. Effects are all done using Adobe Photoshop.

Regards,
Charlene

This is the final Flash I made

 

This is the mix and match Flash I have done, it’s an idea on choosing character and to fit on various features on itself. This save time as people do not need to draw from scratch. The character was not very 3D this time but I try out the perspective view instead.

 This is a sample Flash clip that selected from one of the mix and match character. This animation can be placed at school’s E-learning, e-service, school’s websites, school’s e-mail. Animation makes learning items looks more fun and lively.
