WORK DAY CRITIQUE
:: This Week's Agenda
 Informal Critique of your designs
 I will go through each design and provide feedback
 This critique is optional for critics – so please feel free to
get some work done while I look at everyone's designs.
 This week we will:
 Learn how to load and unload external files
 Jpegs
 Swfs
Interface Programming 2 :: Week 11
:: Lesson
 Use the feedback from the critique to make the necessary
design changes to improve your site.
 If you haven't done so already, be sure to answer the
following questions:
 How will the navigation work? Will there be any special
rollover effects? Scrolling effects?
 How will the user transition from page to page within the
site?
 Continue to create test files in Flash. This is crucial for those
who will be attempting to create an "experimental"
navigation or transition system.

Due: Week 16B
Art 257+258 Flash Web Site


Assignment: create an advanced Flash web site. You can choose
any site/client/idea that you want, however: your site must warrant
the use of Flash versus HTML. In other words, if you ask yourself,
“should this be an HTML site instead?” and the answer is “Yes” –
then you should consider another idea.
Your final site should include:






A custom preloader
An animated intro
Multiple pages/sections (minimum of 3)
Transitions between pages/sections
SWFObject and CSS for placing/publishing your flash into HTML
NOTE: You can NOT do your own Flash portfolio site.
