Mod 4: Assign 4 - The Flash Ads

The purpose of this assignment was to create mock ads in flash for two clients using motion and shape tweening.

Client 1:

Tower Ad
A modern, chic looking ad that's sure to attract customers.

Client 2:
Leaderboard Ad
Message board Ad

Conservative and to the point, these ads let customers know just what kind of service Marcia Elkin Consulting has to offer.

Mod 4: Assign 3 - The First Draft

PDF of First Draft

Here is the (very rough) first draft of my research paper. The topic of my paper is digital filmmaking and the use of computers and the internet in modern day filmmaking. I haven't incorporated a whole lot of research yet as I was trying to write as much as I could off the top of my head without relying too heavily of paraphrasing and my sources aren't all there and formatted. I used Adobe's PDF creator available on their website to convert my Word document.

Mod 4: Assign 2 - Basic Video Creation

video

To create my video for this assignment, I kept things simple by using the cartoon I made in Module 2 and separated each of the panels into frames. I used Adobe Premiere to arrange the frames, add fades, and sound effects. I also added begining and end credits that were created in Fireworks.

Mod 4: Assign 1 - The Animated Gifs


For my first animation, I used a drawing I did then made it look as if he was flying by adding lines behind him that I moved a bit in each frame.


The banner ad was made by using a logo I made for a web series I'm working on, adding text to the top and bottom, then using the animate selection option and changing the transparency from 0 to 100 on the bottom texts.

Mod 3: Assign 3 - Ad Mock Ups

For this layout, my goal was to create a simplistic, easy to navigate web page that meets all the of the clients needs and clearly states its' purpose. I created a logo that customers identify with Century22.com and could potentially attract both the younger and older consumer base.

The idea behind this layout was to appeal to the animal lover, using cute pictures that represent the types of animal supplies sold by this client. The site uses a bright, cheerful color scheme that attracts animal lovers of all ages. The layout is very easy to read and navigate while providing all of the necessary requirements.

The t-shirt uses the eye-catching graphic seen on the Petz123.com home page along with the statement "Unique and Reasonably Priced Pet Products for Dogs, Cats, and Horses".
