The course introduces graphics and multimedia technologies, as learners create a Web interactive animation project. Activities include illustrating with Flash, using animation techniques and special effects. Flash files produce resizable compact full-screen navigation interfaces, technical illustrations, long-form animations, and other dazzling site effects. Flash enables Web designers to import artwork from their favorite bitmap or illustration programs, apply transparency, create morphing effects, add interactivity and sound, and animate them over time. Unlike bitmapped images that are optimized for a single resolution, vector images can adapt to multiple display sizes and resolutions. This is ideal for displaying Web sites uniformly on set-top boxes, hand-held computers, or PCs. This course will also cover how to embed exported Flash movies into HTML documents for play in a browser. Learners are required to take TS7010 prior to taking this course. |
