Project 7 : Flash Portfolio
This project was about creating Flash Portfolio which included of everything that we had done from the beginning of the junior year until the present. I used Adobe Flash to complete this project. For this project, I inserted all of the swf of my labs that I had created in Flash and for the projects as well. In the home page of the flash portfolio, we had to include our video description about the Web Design Academy. Since our flash portfolio was mainly for the upcoming future web-designers, I created a robotic them by applying specific colors and including laser like moving structures in my home page. In addition to the video, I also added cue points to make it more interesting and fun. Before all of this, I took a day to plan on what I was going to create and the next day I created a wireframe. Then, I started off creating buttons and backgrounds. I spent a lot of time creating backgrounds and buttons because I wasn't getting the right color for the robotic theme.
As a result of this lab, I learned how to use cue points and include swf files inside a Flash document by using action script. I have grown a lot since the day I first joined this Academy. As a matter of fact, I have never thought that I would come this far and be able to create all of these things. Even though I knew how to use a computer, I didn't know anything about these skills. The most tedious part in this project was to link each and every button to the other scenes because it was very complex. But on the other hand, the most easiest part was copy pasting the code all over again and applying to every single scene. This project is significant to Web Design since the upcoming future designers maybe looking for what it really takes to be in this Web Design Academy. This project is useful for me in the future since it has taught me the skills that can be applicable to any field; whether in work based presentation or introducing myself, I will be able to create a portfolio for all my peers and co-workers as well.
